Mezzanine loading gates allow pallets to be moved safely between mezzanine floors and ground-level. While the gate is open to forklifts for depositing or removing pallets, the gate is rotated so that pedestrians on the mezzanine can't get near the pallet. Then while the gate is open to the mezzanine for workers to load or unload pallets, the gate is rotated to block the exposed edge of the mezzanine, stopping workers from falling off.
