Suitable for both new and existing mezzanine installations, Kee Pivot pallet safety gates are available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit different pallet dimensions and loading requirements.
At Safesite, we supply, install and maintain Kee Pivot® Pallet Safety Gates across the UK, helping organisations improve warehouse safety, protect employees, and comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
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:
Because the design removes reliance on manual barriers, it helps reduce human error while creating a safer working environment.
Mezzanine floors improve storage capacity and operational efficiency, but they also introduce significant working at height risks.
Without appropriate edge protection, employees can be exposed to open loading edges whenever pallets are transferred between floor levels.
Falls from Height: Open mezzanine edges remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries within warehouse environments. Even a relatively short fall can result in serious injury.
Forklift Loading Operations: Forklift drivers frequently transfer pallets to upper-floor storage areas. During loading, workers are often positioned close to unprotected edges while guiding or receiving loads.
Manual Handling Risks: Employees handling palletised goods may be distracted by heavy loads, increasing the likelihood of slips, trips, and falls.
Traditional Chains Can Be Left Open: Simple chain barriers depend entirely on users replacing them after every loading operation. Unfortunately, chains are often left unsecured, creating unnecessary hazards.
Kee Pivot eliminates this risk by ensuring continuous protection throughout the loading cycle.

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.
