Your warehouse relies on moving goods quickly, safely and conveniently, if you have a warehouse premise with a mezzanine floor the answer to ensuring the above is to install pallet gates. Pallet gates allow you to move stock to and from a raised height, acting as a safe access solution to enable large products to be loaded and unloaded effectively without the safety concerns of these products being carried via the stairway or any other form of manual lifting. Once the gate is released and not in use, they complete the structural barrier preventing any risk of damage or injury from items (or employees) falling from a height.
Pallet gate key features:
Safe.
Keeping your warehouse safe is paramount, pallet gates create a clear barrier between the edge of the floor and the user encouraging people away from the railings, minimising the risk of potential falls.
Lightweight.
Pallet gates are made of steel and are lightweight meaning they are easy to install into your mezzanine construction and to manage by trained staff.
Flexible.
Due to their flexibility, there is a pallet gate solution for practically all sized goods as they can be lifted vertically or opened horizontally depending on your needs.
Pallet gate benefits:
- Easy to plan around as they fit seamlessly to the edge of your floor space.
- Take up limited space so will work effectively with most workspaces
- A more cost-effective solution to the installation of a goods lift.
- Lightweight and easy to use
- Enhanced safety
- Durable
- No additional maintenance is required after installation, as long as the pallet gate is treated carefully
- Multiple pallet gates can be installed if you operate a busy warehouse
There are points you need to be aware of when deciding to install pallet gates; make sure the surrounding area of the gate is kept clear at all times, this will reduce any potential risks and allows quick access to goods. It is best to have heavier goods stored nearer to the pallet gate to minimise transport time and finally clearly signposting areas for workers during operation of the pallet gate will reduce and risk of injury or damage to stock.
