GateKeeper® Mezzanine Safety Gate

Need to meet fall-protection standards without blocking pallet-drop areas?

Mezzanines and raised platforms improve warehouse space efficiency, especially in the age of automation, but they also increase fall exposure at pallet-drop zones and elevated access points. GateKeeper® Mezzanine Safety Gate is engineered to provide continuous fall protection in accordance with applicable safety standards while maintaining operational flow.

Unlike traditional mezzanine swing gates, GateKeeper’s dual-reciprocating design ensures one side remains guarded by one gate at all times, delivering continuous edge protection during the loading and unloading process. A patent-pending spring lift assist supports reduced operating effort while maintaining structural durability and controlled motion.

Engineered for both safety and usability, GateKeeper delivers full-time fall protection with controlled, predictable performance.

• Full-Time Protection: Dual reciprocating gate design ensures one side is always closed during pallet transfer, eliminating temporary exposure at elevated access points.
• Controlled, Engineered Operation: Patent-pending spring lift assist supports smooth, controlled gate movement with reduced operating effort without compromising structural integrity.
• Compliance: Designed to support OSHA 1910 Subpart D, ANSI guidance, and applicable IBC guard provisions for elevated walking-working surfaces.

Is your mezzanine safety solution practical — and compliant?

The freestanding GateKeeper Mezzanine Safety Gate ensures full-time safety at the edge of a mezzanine platform when loading and unloading materials from a platform. GateKeeper addresses fall-protection standards for elevated work areas.

• OSHA compliance. Designed to support compliance with applicable OSHA standard 1910 Subpart D, helping provide continuous fall protection for employees on walking-working surfaces. This includes any surface higher than 4’ (1200 mm) above a lower level.
• ANSI compliance. Developed in alignment with industry-recognized ANSI best practices for fall protection and open-edge guarding reinforcing a strong safety culture.
• IBC compliance. Where building code requirements apply, guardrail design aligns with commonly adopted IBC provisions for guard height, strength, and opening limitations, helping prevent falls from elevated surfaces.

Does your facility sacrifice efficiency in the name of safety?

Operational efficiency is critical — but safety cannot be compromised. Rite-Hite engineered GateKeeper so facilities get both benefits in equal measure. It creates a controlled access area that allows pallets to enter or exit through one open gate while another remains closed to keep personnel out.

• Exclusive Saf-T-Latch helps prevent workers from raising the gate from the mezzanine side, helping prevent falls during the loading and unloading process.
• Unique link bar design ensures both gates move in unison to maintain full-time fall protection.
• Patent-pending spring lift reduces operator strain while maintaining durability.
• Toeboard helps prevent materials from being pushed off elevated platforms to a lower level.
• 3" (75 mm) galvanized track and nylon rollers provide smooth, consistent gate motion.
• Steel side frames provide built-in track protection.
• Optional powered push-button model improves ergonomics and offers effortless operation for larger gate sizes.
• 4" (100 mm) integral toeboards.
• Front rail heights of 21" (535 mm) and 42" (1065 mm)
• Available in single- or double-pallet width and depth.
