In order to create storage space inside large open warehouses, factories and other industrial buildings, it is common to install steel mezzanines. Mezzanines are smaller, sub-sections of elevated floors, often installed in corners with a stairwell. The open area of the mezzanine floor often only has two walls from the corner and the other two sides are left completely open to the ground floor. Since this is an elevated structure, you will need to install mezzanine safety gates and guard rails around the perimeter, in order to prevent accidental falls.
Besides using mezzanine safety gates as part of your steel mezzanines, you can also use these gates with any elevated walkway or semi-permanent structure in your facility. For example, you may have an industrial catwalk installed above equipment, which is used to perform maintenance on the elevated sections of the equipment. However, when the equipment is in operation, you will want to make sure the catwalk is blocked off at both ends with safety gates, along with warning signs to warn against entering the location while the equipment is in operation.
