PALLET DROP ZONES & PICK MODULES

Plan protection around pallet transfers.

Compare pallet drop-zone and pick-module gates. Start with the load dimensions, opening, available space and how people access materials.

THE SITUATION

Review the opening throughout the transfer cycle.

Elevated pallet openings can expose workers during loading, unloading and picking. Review the complete transfer sequence, then compare gate arrangements that suit the load, rack or platform and available operating space.

FIND THE RIGHT APPROACH

Match the gate to the load and pick-module layout.

Compare the load envelope, gate movement and access required during loading and picking. Review both sides of the transfer area and the surrounding railing.

Pallet Drop Zone (DZ)

Pallet drop-zone gates

BEST FOR

Elevated pallet-transfer areas that need opposing barriers around the load zone.

The DZ gate links the two sides so one closes as the other raises. Review load dimensions, gate travel and suitable rack-mounted or freestanding configurations.

NetGate Pick Module Safety Gate

Pick-module net gates

BEST FOR

Elevated pick-module openings where pallet height and package containment affect the layout.

NetGate uses linked opposing net barriers for the transfer area. Confirm load clearance, rack compatibility, mounting details and the full operating sequence.

PLAN YOUR PROJECT

What do we need for a recommendation?

Send photos from both sides of the opening, a rack or platform layout and the details below. We’ll help compare suitable gate systems.

  • Opening width, platform height and available drop-zone depth.
  • Maximum pallet or cart width, depth and height, including overhanging loads.
  • Overhead clearance, gate travel space and forklift approach direction.
  • Rack manufacturer, upright dimensions, floor construction and surrounding rails.
  • Loading and picking sequence, transfer frequency, site photos and timeline.
Discuss your project

Confirm mounting compatibility, operating clearances and protection throughout the transfer cycle. Gate selection does not replace a review of the surrounding platform, rack structure or work procedures.
