Why Mezzanine Safety Pallet Gates, Personnel Safety Gates and Barriers?

Mezzanine safety pallet gates, personnel safety gates and mezzanine barriers are crucial to the safety of employees working on mezzanine flooring or platforms. They provide protection from falling hazards when loading and unloading pallets and whilst working at height. There are many forms of edge protection including mezzanine floor gates, pallet gates, loading gates and fixed mezzanine handrails and barriers.
