Standard Pallet Gate

• Used in warehouses and production facilities to safely transfer palletised goods between different floor levels.
• Commonly found in food processing plants for moving ingredients or finished products to mezzanines or elevated platforms.
• Utilised in distribution centres to maintain a safe working environment around elevated loading points.
• Applied in manufacturing environments where materials need to be accessed from an upper level without compromising fall protection.

Typical pallet size compatibility

Designed to accommodate standard Euro pallets (1200x800mm) or UK industrial pallets (1200x1000mm), though specific units may vary.

Operating mechanism

Commonly features a manual pivot or slide mechanism, ensuring one side is always closed when the other is open.

Construction material

Typically constructed from mild steel, often painted or powder-coated. Stainless steel versions are common for food-grade environments.

Footprint

The footprint will vary based on the gate design and pallet size accommodated, typically requiring space for both the gate and pallet manoeuvring.

Safety features

Inherently designed to provide continuous fall protection, preventing access to the void when a pallet is being loaded or unloaded.

Installation

Requires secure bolting to the floor or structural elements of a mezzanine or elevated platform.
