Rite-Hite Corp.
Rite-Hite’s GateKeeper Mezzanine Safety Gate is a reciprocating barrier that creates a controlled access area where workers can safely load and unload from the edge of a mezzanine, pick module or other elevated work platform where pallet loads from the floor level are regularly deposited for pick-up. Its outer and inner gates operate in unison without chains or cables. When the outer gate opens to allow pallets to enter the mezzanine level, the inner gate automatically closes, keeping workers out.
