Help! How can I secure a workplace at height?
Pallet deposit areas on high mezzanines are open areas in guardrails or solid walls and give access to the void. There is a constant risk of people or objects passing by falling from height. Labour legislation requires that access at height be made safe by installing guardrails around the perimeter of platforms, including equipment access.
Safety gates are the ideal solution to this problem, providing total safety in these areas. These safety barriers operate on the principle of a lock where one side is closed when the opposite side is open: the pallet lock always has two alternately removable guardrails to secure the area on either side of the load. When pallets are handled at height, the pallet gate is open on the void side and closes off access to the deposit area by means of its rear guardrail. The pallet gate completely secures the area where there is a risk of falling from height. When the pallet is positioned on the platform, the pallet lock is manually operated and the front guardrail moves to the empty side: access to the pallet is available for removal or depalletising, while the safety gate protects workers or objects from the risk of falling from height.
Pallet gates are operated manually, requiring relatively little effort - less than 20 kg per operation. Our safety gates can be automated if required. It is possible to cover the front of the guardrail with wire mesh for added safety, to prevent small objects contained on the pallet from passing between the guardrail.
Other options are available on request. Our pallet safety gates are made from powder-coated steel (stainless steel or aluminium on request).
Single-axis or dual-axis sluice gates are easier to manoeuvre than multi-axis gates.
You can consult our different models of pallet gates and choose the dimensions you require. It's important to choose your safety gate model carefully, depending on your environmental or loading constraints: hoist, stacker, load handler, high pallet, etc.; talk about it with our experts: ac2m@ac2m-sarl.fr or +33(0)2 38 59 97 99.
