Rite-Hite offers the GateKeeper™ Mezzanine Safety Gate, a reciprocating barrier that creates a controlled access area in which workers can safely load and unload from the edge of a mezzanine, pick module or other elevated work platform.
The GateKeeper is designed with a dual reciprocating gate that is interconnected and can’t be open at the same time. It is installed on the edge of a mezzanine, pick module or elevated platform where pallet loads from the floor level are regularly deposited for pick-up. When the outer gate opens to allow pallets to enter the mezzanine level, the inner gate automatically closes, keeping workers out. After the pallet is received, the mezzanine-level workers open the inner gate to remove the material from the work zone.
The GateKeeper’s exclusive link bar design ensures that both gates always work in unison, without relying on the chains or cables that are commonly used on other mezzanine gates. The GateKeeper also features a Saf-T-Latch, which prevents a worker from raising the outer gate while inside the work zone. In addition, the unit’s unique “toeboard” design prevents material from accidentally being pushed off of the mezzanine.
