What is a mezzanine pallet gate?
A mezzanine pallet gate is a dual sided, counterbalance safety gate that sits at the edge of a mezzanine floor. It allows pallets to be transferred between levels while always maintaining a physical barrier between workers and the drop below.
When a pallet is delivered, the outer gate opens while the inner gate remains closed. Once the pallet is inside the loading bay, the outer gate closes and the inner gate opens, allowing safe access to the mezzanine. At no point is the edge left exposed, which makes these gates ideal for handling:
- Palletised goods
- Cages and stillages
- Bulk deliveries
- Forklift and pallet truck transfers
On mezzanine floors, raised platforms and loading decks.
Why mezzanine pallet gates are critical
Mezzanine floors create one of the highest-risk areas in any warehouse: an open edge combined with heavy moving loads. Without a mezzanine safety gate, workers are exposed to fall risks and dropped loads, both of which can lead to serious injury or fatal accidents.
Installing a pallet gate on a mezzanine floor transforms that dangerous edge into a controlled loading zone. It allows forklifts to operate efficiently while dramatically reducing the risk of falls, helping you meet working-at-height safety requirements and protect your team.
Our mezzanine pallet gate range
We offer a complete range of mezzanine pallet gates designed to suit different pallet sizes, load heights and working environments. All models use a robust up-and-over pivot system that ensures one side of the opening is always closed, so protection is never compromised.
Our range includes:
- Standard mezzanine pallet gates
- Narrow mezzanine pallet gates
- Tall load mezzanine gates
- Wide load mezzanine gates
- Very tall pallet gates with counterweights
You can also choose between galvanised steel or aluminium, wither either a standard silver finish or high-visibility yellow powder coating, making it easy to match your mezzanine gate to your site and safety procedures.
Which mezzanine pallet gate should you choose?
Each mezzanine floor gate is designed around specific load sizes. Below is a quick guide to help you find the right fit:
- Standard mezzanine gate: suitable for loads up to 1.30m (D), 1.08m (W), and 1.56m (H)
- Narrow mezzanine gate: suitable for loads up to 1.30m (D), 1.25m (W), and 1.65m (H)
- Tall load mezzanine gate: suitable for loads up to 1.30m (D), 1.40m (W) and 2.25m (H)
- Wide load mezzanine gate: Suitable for loads up to 1.72 (D), 1.10m (W) and 1.53m (H)
- Very tall mezzanine gate with weights: suitable for loads up to 1.50m (D), 2.00m (W), and 2.50 (H)
If you’re unsure which pallet gate is right for your mezzanine, our team can help you select the safest and most efficient option based on your pallet size, forklift clearance and workflow.
Designed for Safety and Compliance
All of our mezzanine safety gates are manufactured for industrial fall protection and meet the requirements of EN ISO 14122 Parts 3 and 4. They are also tested for long-term durability, including 50,000 open-and-close cycles and extended corrosion resistance, so they keep performing even in demanding warehouse environments.
Built for Industrial Use
Every pallet gate is made from high-quality industrial components with no welded parts, which makes installation faster and repairs easier. You can choose galvanised steel for maximum strength or aluminium for lighter weight and corrosion resistance either way, you get a mezzanine gate built to withstand forklifts, pallets and busy logistics operations.
