Mezzanine Safeti-Gates, Inc.

Mezzanine Safeti-Gates, Inc. is the inventor of the Roly® mezzanine safety gate, a dual-gate system that provides fall protection for employees working on elevated platforms in industrial facilities. After inventing the Roly 40 years ago, we have focused solely on fall protection systems for employees in material handling, warehousing and manufacturing ever since. We can help ensure fall protection in every application, without impeding production.

We offer ten pallet drop safety gates models designed for fall protection on manufacturing and production platforms, pick modules, rack storage systems, mezzanines, doorways, pallet flow lanes, alongside automated lift-trucks and AGVs on the ground level and more.

We also offer loading dock safety gates and dock-lift safety gates in a variety of configurations to fit any type or brand of lift used in loading dock operations.

A rugged design, our safety gates are constructed to withstand continuous use for years with very little maintenance. We’ve added ergonomic measures like gas springs for easy manual operation. Our safety gates can be equipped with many options, including power operation, product containment netting or steel mesh, pallet position indicator systems, radio frequencies and inventory tracking sensors.

Custom engineered safety gates are an option if none of our existing models fit within your application. In fact, every one of our standard models, from the Pivot safety gate to the Dock-Lift safety gate, started as a custom design.

All of our safety gates meet OSHA fall protection codes and ANSI standards. Our experienced team can help guide you through safety gate selection, installation and ongoing use.
