The pallet gate operates on a fixed point which allows it to be manually rotated to either an open or closed position. When a pallet is to be loaded, the worker can pull down the gate, leaving the open section on the outside where the pallet can be safely loaded (see video).
When loading is complete, the pallet gate can be returned to its original position, ensuring that there is never a dangerous void in the guardrail system. This way, the worker is kept safe at all times.
