Kee Pivot® Pallet Safety Gates

Kee Pivot® Pallet Safety Gates are counterbalanced safety gates specifically designed to protect workers during pallet loading operations on mezzanine floors.

Unlike chains or removable barriers, the gate uses a pivoting mechanism that ensures the loading edge is never left unprotected. As a pallet is loaded onto the mezzanine, one side of the gate opens while the opposite side automatically closes, maintaining continuous fall protection throughout the loading process.

The system provides a practical solution for:

• Warehouse mezzanines
• Storage platforms
• Distribution centres
• Manufacturing facilities
• Logistics hubs
• Goods loading areas

Because the design removes reliance on manual barriers, it helps reduce human error while creating a safer working environment.

The Kee Pivot system uses a counterbalanced pivot mechanism that maintains protection on both sides of the loading area.

Counterbalanced Pivot Design: As a pallet is raised into position by a forklift, the external side of the gate opens while the internal barrier automatically closes.

Once the pallet has been transferred, the gate pivots back into its original position.

Continuous Edge Protection: At no point is the loading edge left completely exposed.

This continuous protection significantly reduces the likelihood of falls during loading operations.

Safe Forklift Loading: The gate allows forklifts to load pallets efficiently without compromising worker safety.

Easy One-Person Operation: Kee Pivot is designed for simple operation by a single worker, improving productivity while maintaining safe working practices.

Adjustable Configurations: The system is available in multiple sizes to accommodate different pallet dimensions and mezzanine layouts.

Warehouses: Warehouses use pallet safety gates to protect employees during routine pallet loading and unloading.

Distribution Centres: High-volume logistics operations rely on safe and efficient mezzanine loading systems to support daily workflows.

Manufacturing Facilities: Production facilities frequently use mezzanine storage areas for raw materials and finished products.

Logistics Hubs: Kee Pivot gates help improve safety where forklift traffic and pallet handling are constant.

Storage Mezzanines: Storage platforms benefit from permanent edge protection without reducing operational efficiency.

Production Facilities: Industrial workplaces requiring regular pallet movement can improve compliance while reducing fall risks.

Continuous Fall Protection: The innovative pivot design ensures one side of the loading area remains protected at all times.

Improved Worker Safety: Removing reliance on manual chains helps reduce human error and improves overall workplace safety.

Fast and Simple Operation: The counterbalanced mechanism allows smooth operation with minimal effort.

Suitable for Existing Mezzanines: Kee Pivot systems can often be installed on existing mezzanine structures without major modifications.

Durable Construction: Manufactured from robust materials with corrosion-resistant finishes, Kee Pivot gates are designed for demanding warehouse environments.

Low Maintenance Requirements: With few moving parts and a simple operating mechanism, routine maintenance requirements are minimal.

Long Service Life: Designed for daily industrial use, Kee Pivot systems provide reliable performance for years to come.

Work at Height Regulations 2005: Employers have a legal duty to prevent falls wherever reasonably practicable. Installing permanent pallet safety gates helps reduce workplace risks and supports compliance with UK legislation.

BS EN ISO 14122-3: Kee Pivot systems are designed to support recognised standards for permanent means of access and machine guarding.

Warehouse Risk Assessments: Loading areas should form part of every workplace risk assessment, particularly where forklifts and elevated storage systems are involved.

HSE Guidance: The Health and Safety Executive encourages employers to implement suitable collective protection measures wherever practical to reduce working at height risks.
