Scope
The client required a safe method of lifting pallets up onto a second level storage area using a fork truck.
Requirements
The following requirements were noted prior to the design of the Pallet Gate.
– The pallet gate required mounting points to an existing plywood floor sitting on top of structural steel flooring supports.
– The pallet gate required weld mesh along the walls and revolving gate to prevent loose items falling off of the pallet onto staff working on the floor below.
– The revolving section was required to be light weight so as to be capable of being moved from an open to closed position by a single operator.
Solution
The solution provided was a secure pallet gate complete with:
– Easy revolving gate section pivoting around two pin joints.
– Light weight Box Section Frame
– Independent wall sections to be bolted through wooden flooring into structural steel supports
