Proactive Fall Protection Through an Innovative Product Line

Mezzanine Safeti-Gates, Inc., the leader in fall protection solutions, provides foolproof protection for the ledges of pallet-drop areas. Recognizing that all single gate safety devices, such as chains, lift or swing gates, share a common deficiency of leaving the area unprotected at times, the company designs proactive, dual-gate safety systems that automatically and easily maintain a safe environment at all times.

The corporate philosophy Mezzanine Safeti-Gates has adopted enables it to meet and exceed customer needs: if one of its safety gates will not fit into a certain customer application, it will design one that will. As a result, the company has designed a variety of easy-to-operate, dual-gate safety devices that can fit virtually any application for corporations in a variety of industries worldwide. 

The Roly safety gate was the first dual-gate safety device for the ledges of pallet-drop areas. The patented two-gate system and fully enclosed structure ensures there is always a gate between the worker and the ledge. The interconnected gates are counterbalanced, allowing effortless operation and maximum protection.

Mezzanine Safeti-Gates� Rack-Supported Model is a version of the Roly gate that utilizes existing standard rack components as its framework. This two- gate system consists of formed channels that attach directly to rack uprights. These units can be customized to fit any brand of rack and integrates easily into rack supported mezzanines or multi-level high-rise carton picking modules.

The company designs a Pivot Safety Gate model that consists of two permanently fixed stanchions that anchor to the mezzanine and form a single piece when mounted to pivoting arms. When the rear gate is lifted, the ledge gate closes automatically. A High Pallet Pivot model with fourteen pivot points can accept a pallet load of up to 80 inches in height. The Pivot models, available in painted and stainless steel, are ideal for hostile environments such such as chemical or food processing plants. The Tri-Side Safety Gate creates a controlled access area for pallet drop locations that are integrated with walkways or conveyors, and in areas where lack of depth on the platform is a concern. The Tri-Side unit requires only 12 inches in depth when the ledge gate is in the closed position. This unique configuration allows pallets to be removed at 90-degree angles or straight back into the drop area. 

The Ninety-Degree Model interconnects two or more gates positioned perpendicular to each other to maintain a controlled-access area at all times, while providing side access or entry from three or four sides.

Mezzanine Safeti-Gates also offers its Roly, Tri-Side and Rack-Supported gates in power-operated versions. Ergonomically positioned three push-button stations located on the units and mezzanine floor can be used to electrically open, close or stop the motion of the gates.

All of the company�s products meet or exceed OSHA requirements. Mezzanine Safeti-Gates may be contacted via mail at 174 Western Avenue, Essex, Mass., 01929-1110, telephone at (978) 768-3000, fax at (978) 768-1101, email at [email protected] or on the Web at www.MezzanineSafetyGates.com.
