Dock Gate Stops Heavy and Fast Forklifts
The Defender Dock Gate’s compact size makes the barrier easy to install (even on irregular floors using built-in levelling screws) and easy to operate for all personnel. Featuring a patent-pending heavy-duty steel hinge, the Dock Gate effortlessly folds in half, allowing for full access to the doorway when not in use.
Available in standard sizes ranging from 6′ to 12′, XL sizes from 14′ to 16′, and incorporating high-visibility 3M reflective tape, the Dock Gate is an efficient way to increase safety around the loading dock and other areas of any facility.

Securing Ledges of Pallet Drop Areas
The Roly mezzanine safety gate is one of the most versatile solutions for securing ledges of pallet drop areas on mezzanines and rack picking modules. Featuring dual counterbalanced gates with a heavy-duty chain and sprocket drive system, Roly safety gates secure guardrail and doorway openings on elevated platforms. Ideal for use in many applications, Roly is the optimal solution for securing pallet drop areas in a doorway, as gates close flush with the ledge and can operate independently of overhead doors while providing fall protection.
Retractable Safety Barrier
The Retractable Safety Barrier is meant for loading docks. Utilizing an air-thru mesh, the Retractable Safety Barrier allows for air and light infiltration while its yellow colour provides more visibility than a dock safety chain. The Retractable Safety barrier is easy to extend and retract (retracting into a 6″ round PVC housing with a 10″ square steel foot/shin plate).
Although custom longer spans are available up to 13′, the Retractable Safety Barrier comes in a standard length of 10′, is 48″ high plus an l8″ sweep. Customization options for the Retractable Safety Barrier include seven different receiving hook styles length, colour and wording/logo printed on the centre of the ribbon. Minimum installation involves lag bolts.
Safety Straps for Cross Docks and Doorways
The Safety Strap is a high visibility dock barrier specifically designed for cross docks and facilities that leave their doors open. Its superior strength exceeds OSHA standards and helps prevent dock workers from falling off a loading dock. The Safety Strap’s retraction function keeps the doorway free of any obstructions when not in use. For optimal use, pair the Safety Strap with the optional proximity sensor that can be integrated with Smart Chock.
