Mezzanine Safety Gates
Continuous Protection for Elevated Pallet Access
Mezzanine safety gates protect workers at elevated pallet-transfer areas while allowing forklifts to load and remove materials. Dual-sided designs keep one barrier closed whenever the opposite side is open, helping prevent workers from being exposed to an unprotected edge during loading and unloading.
CH Bull offers mezzanine and pallet-access gates from multiple manufacturers for standard pallets, oversized loads, rack systems, rooftops and custom material-handling applications.

Not sure which mezzanine gate fits your operation?
CH Bull can review the pallet dimensions, opening size, available clearance and loading process to help identify the right system.
How Mezzanine Safety Gates Work
Mezzanine safety gates use two connected barriers to help keep the elevated edge protected throughout the pallet-transfer process. The movement varies by gate design, but the basic operation remains the same.
Secure Worker Side
The interior barrier remains closed while the loading side is opened for forklift access.
Load the Pallet
A forklift places the pallet within the protected transfer area without entering the mezzanine.
Reverse the Gate
The gate is moved into its opposite position, closing the exposed edge before opening access from the employee side.
Retrieve the Materials
Workers can access the pallet while a physical barrier remains between them and the elevated edge.
