Overview


GateKeeper Barrier

Mezzanine perimeters need to be protected with gates , guardrails or other fall protection systems if the elevated level is more than 4' above the lower level. Pallet drop areas also need protection; even when a forklift is transferring materials. The GateKeeper® Safety Gate incorporates a dual-reciprocating gate to provide full-time protection at a pallet drop or material transfer area.

Benefits

Safety

The GateKeeper® Mezzanine Safety Gate is a free-standing dual reciprocating barrier that ensures full time safety at the edge of a mezzanine platform when loading and unloading materials from an elevated platform.

Addresses applicable OSHA, ANSI and IBC standards:

  • OSHA standard 1910.28(b)(1) requires that employers must provide fall protection for personnel on walking-working surfaces 4'0" (1200 mm) or more above the lower level.
  • OSHA standard 1910.29(k)(1) requires that employers must ensure toeboards are used on overhead walking-working surface to protect object from falling and injuring employees below.
  • The ANSI 2009 standard section 6.4.3 published by the Storage Equipment Manufacturers Associations reads "any gate that provides an access opening through the guards for the purpose of loading and unloading material onto a work platform shall be designed such that the elevated surface is protected by guards at all times. Gates that swing open, slide open, or lift out leaving an unprotected opening in the guarding are not acceptable."
Design
  • Exclusive Saf-T-Latch prevents workers from raising the gate from inside the work zone, helping prevent an employee from falling from the mezzanine while working the load
  • Unique link bar design ensures that both gates work in unison: when the outer gate opens to allow pallets in, the inner gate automatically closes to keep workers out and prevent access to the exposed edge
  • Toeboard prevents material from accidentally being pushed from an elevated space to a lower level and injuring anyone passing below
  • Steel side frames provide built-in track protection
  • Available in manual and automatic designs
  • 3" (75 mm) track and nylon rollers provide for smooth operation
  • Yellow powder coated 10-gauge steel frame
  • Rail heights of 21” (530 mm) and 42” (1065 mm)
Application

The GateKeeper Safety Gate is perfect for mezzanines or any other elevated work area with exposed edges that require fall protection such as pallet drop or material transfer areas.
