Over the last 35 years, distribution centers have changed dramatically.

They’ve grown in size, and systems are much more complex with the integration of many technologies to create an efficient work flow.

The one thing that hasn’t changed is the need for safety, especially for employees working on elevated platforms and mezzanines. We have seen pick modules get taller, and with that, the integration of automated vehicles that load these upper levels.

Protecting the workers who are picking
pallets or stacking empty pallets and
empty totes for return on these upper
levels remains of utmost importance.

Industry standards by ANSI mandate that pallet drop areas on levels 30” above the ground be secured by a barrier at all times, even while pallets are being loaded onto the platform.

To secure these areas a dual-gate
system like the Roly safety gate should
be used, which is available in custom
sizes to fit most applications. A rack-
supported version of this gate is
available when these areas are located
in a rack-supported pick module. These
designs can be power operated and
outfitted with sensors to communicate
with AGVs so they know when the area
can be replenished.

Pallet drop areas with space limitations or unique workflows must be secured, and should never be a reason not to properly secure an area. Over the past few decades we think we have seen every scenario, and have designed solutions for these applications. So if you have a unique area that needs to be secured, contact us. We offer many different configurations in standard and custom sizes. If our current safety gate models will not work for your application, then we will design one.

Our engineers love challenges and have
custom designed hundreds of safety
gate designs for specific applications.

Mezzanine Safeti-Gates, Inc. has been designing and manufacturing safety gates for elevated work platforms in distribution centers, warehouses and manufacturing facilities for almost 35 years. We help companies make their operations safer by providing fall protection with our line of safety gate models. Our proactive, dual-gate safety systems, including the original Roly® safety gate design, have been installed in facilities in virtually every industry. We also custom design safety solutions for unique applications.
