Industrial Safety Gates

Industrial safety gates control workers through openings in mezzanines, loading docks or other elevated work surfaces. This category includes flood control gates, guardrails and other devices to prevent personal or property damage. There are several types of industrial safety gates. Examples include a mezzanine safety gate, retractable safety gate, wooden safety gates, and metal safety gates. A mezzanine safety gate reduces the chances for falls and many other accidents associated with a mezzanine. A retractable safety gate retracts neatly into a cylinder and goes out of sight until pulled again for use. Wooden safety gates can be adjusted for fitting in a wide range of staircases and doorways to protect workers at dangerous locations. Metal safety gates have quick adjustment and release mechanisms that makes them easy and simple to use. Other Industrial safety gates are also commonly available.

There are several ways in which industrial safety gates function. An industrial safety gate is available in various sizes and meets the protection standards for platform opening and ladderways. A mezzanine gate is durable and provides protection as a railing system. A mezzanine gate is available in size ranges to fit in openings of 16 to 26 inches or 24 to 40 inches and the gate width can be adjusted for 2 inch increments. A mezzanine safety gate forms an enclosed workflow station which provides safety at the time of loading, off-loading, or while working on a pallet in place. To make an OSHA safety gate, a mezzanine gate must follow OSHA requirements of 42" high handrail, 21" high mid-rail and 4" high kick plate for mezzanines without sacrificing on the load accessibility. A retractable safety gate is capable of expanding in the range of 6 inch to 51 inches by virtually eliminating obstructions. Wooden safety gates are safe, strong, and durable. Additionally wooden safety gates can be extended from 64cm to 106cm and can open in both directions because their double action opening is provided with press and lift locking latch. Some examples of metal safety gates include adjustable door widths for maximum door size, knee pads for pushing doors, and micro adjust bumpers that gives audible feedback when gate is pressured. Metal safety gates can extend from 60.5cm to 102.7cms without requiring any screws. Industrial safety gates are designed and manufactured to meet most industry specifications.

Industrial safety gates are used in many applications. Some examples include their use in staircases and for child protection. Industrial safety gates are also used in safety interlocks, annunciators, and alarm systems. A mezzanine gate should adhere to standards recommended by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) which includes the gate height of 42 inches with a mid-rail and 4 inch toeboard. Industrial safety gates also include the OSHA safety gate which is tough, economica,l and closely matches the requirements of OSHA.
