Mezzanine Pallet Gates
Safer work environments with mezzanine pallet gates
Pallet gates are essential when installing a mezzanine floor for storage as it enables the safe loading and unloading of products and materials without having any exposed edges. They have been specifically designed to eliminate hazards when moving pallets from one level to another, and depending on space and how the products or materials will be loaded will impact which pallet gate is best suited.
We offer bespoke mezzanine pallet gate designs to ensure you can provide a safe working environment and ensuring your pallet gate fits the exact measurements of your mezzanine floor leaving no room for error.
Why choose a mezzanine pallet gate?
Safety is paramount if you have an exposed edge on a mezzanine floor or other platform in a building where your workforce will be working at height.
Safety or pallet gates have been specifically designed to ensure while carrying out the relevant activity, that operatives are protected from the load falling, but also once being unloaded, there is no time at which the edge will be exposed. This is important as potentially cheaper solutions like sliding barriers rely on individuals being diligent in closing them.
You should also always ensure that your selected solution meets HSE regulations, Building Regulations, and offers maximum safety for your team.

Selecting your mezzanine pallet gate or lift
The type of mezzanine pallet gate you decide on will depend on the size and height of your pallets, to ensure the operatives are properly protected. Please talk to one of the team about the best pallet gate or lift for your exposed edge.
Up & Over Pallet Gates
Up and Over mezzanine pallet gates the operative simply pulls the pallet gate down to open the external loading edge, the pallet is then placed on the floor by a forklift truck. The mezzanine pallet gate ensures the operative waiting to receive the goods is protected by a barrier until the load is stable. At this point the gate can now be pushed back down, closing the external edge and allowing access to the goods.
Bi-swing Or Double Door Pallet Gates For Mezzanine Floors
Bi-Swing or double-door safety pallet gates are ideal for higher pallets. The spring-loaded gates move back into position to restore edge protection as soon as the pallet has been moved away from the loading area.
Floor Or Wear Plates
When purchasing a safety or pallet gate we recommend including an aluminium chequer wear plate to protect your floor and ensure pallets do not catch on floor edges when loading or off-loading.
‘Concertina’ Mezzanine Pallet Gate
Specifically designed for higher loaded pallets. This can accommodate pallets of 1300mm to well over 3000mm in width. Pallet depths in excess of 2500mm and heights from 1800mm up-to 3000mm.
‘3 Sixty’ Mezzanine Pallet Safety Gates
Lack of headroom is no longer an issue with virtually no height restrictions other than your ceilings. The steel chequer base stands 50mm from the floor.
‘Model 30’ Safety Pallet Gate
Model 30 Pallet Gates are suitable for pallet depths up to 2000mm, pallet widths up-to 3500mm, and pallet heights up to 2050mm.
