\"Second<\/a>

Second story doorway opening with snap chains<\/p><\/div>\n

We are often contacted by customers looking for a pallet gate to use in an atypical application. \u00a0Most commonly they have a second story that has been closed off with walls and a set of double doors through which they load pallets from below. \u00a0We recently received some photos back from a happy customer out in British Columbia for whom we provided a solution for just such a case.<\/p>\n

The customer wanted something more substantial than the snap chains across the door frame to guard the opening when the doors were open. \u00a0In order to assist them with this, we provided them with a customized self closing pallet gate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"A:<\/a>

The required dimensions to properly fit a pallet gate on a door framed opening<\/p><\/div>\n

The gates on the self closing pallet gate need to freely swing inward and clear the existing doors. \u00a0The clear opening with on their doorway was 6\u2019. \u00a0In order to save the customer some money we used our standard hoops for a 5\u2019 clear opening width gate. \u00a0The overall width is approximately 5\u20196\u201d, leaving about a 3\u201d gap on either side when centered on their doorway. \u00a0If necessary, we could have gone with a custom width, but remember, the largest self closing pallet gate we can provide has a 6\u2019 clear opening (approximately 6\u20196\u201d overall) width.<\/p>\n

\"Outside<\/a>

Wall mounted self closing pallet gate being used to guard a second story doorway.<\/p><\/div>\n

As the gate wasn\u2019t being mounted in the usual fashion to industrial handrail to the sides, we provided special angle brackets and longer columns to fix the gate to the wall above and below the door frame. \u00a0If the floor extended beyond the doorway, we could have gone with the angle bracket above and the typical floor mount brackets to mount it to the deck below.<\/p>\n

\"Pallet<\/a>

With this gate in place, when the customer opens their doors, the opening is still protected with industrial use handrail. \u00a0Their fork truck driver just needs to push the pallet against the bumpered gates which will open as they load the pallet into position on the second story. \u00a0When the customer pulls the pallet away from the landing area, the spring loaded hinges will automatically close the gate, once again protecting the door opening until the customer closes their doors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
