Mezzanine gate reduces the risk of worker falls and injuries
Benko Products
The Protect-O-Gate Pivot Gate (photo) can be customized to accommodate various configurations. The pivot gate eliminates the potential for falls and other accidents often associated with mezzanine loading areas. The unit is counter-balanced and operator-friendly, says the company, to provide easy access to staging areas. Unlike conventional devices, such as chains, lift-out gates and sliding gates, this pivot gate cannot be bypassed. When the enclosure closest to the edge of the mezzanine is lifted to allow load delivery, the second enclosure rests on the mezzanine, protecting personnel from potential falls. Custom sizing is available, with optional increased loading height available to 80 in. Any dimensions can be modified to meet your specifications. The unit is shipped assembled, so it can be bolted to the mezzanine floor and put into operation immediately. — Benko Products, Sheffield Village, Ohio
