USING THE GATE SYSTEM
Place materials, e.g. palletized goods, between the side gates. Pull down the top gate and confirm that its legs
contact the floor. After the load has been moved, put the bottom gate down. See
on p. 8.
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION
Record the condition of the gate system before putting it into service. Thoroughly photograph the unit from
multiple angles. Include close range photos of each label, anchor bolt, and fasteners. Collate all photographs and
writings into a single file. Mark the file appropriately to identify it. The file provides a record of the system in
satisfactory condition. Compare the results of all
whether the unit is in satisfactory condition. If it is not in satisfactory condition, repair it before returning it to
service. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged paint/powdercoat, do not constitute changes from satisfactory
condition. However, touchup paint should be applied to all affected areas as soon as cosmetic damage
occurs to prevent rusting and corrosion. If left unaddressed, rusting/corrosion will alter the lifter from
satisfactory condition and could make it unsafe to use.
INSPECTING AND MAINTAINING THE SYSTEM
Inspections and repairs should only be performed by qualified persons. Compare the results of each
inspection to the
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION
unless all parts are in satisfactory condition. Replace parts that are not in satisfactory condition before returning
the system to service. DON'T GUESS! If you have any questions about the condition of your gate system,
contact the
TECHNICAL SERVICE
of damaged or missing parts. Only use manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
Inspect the following components at least once per month:
1. Gates: inspect each gate for damage such as bends, breaks, corrosion, and damage caused by impacts with
vehicles or other objects. Confirm that all welds are intact. Replace damaged planks.
2. Fasteners/hardware: closely examine all fasteners including anchor bolts. Make sure that all connections are
solid. Tighten connections as necessary. Inspect the surface where anchor bolts are installed for damage. If the
surface is damaged in a way that affects the connection with one or more anchor bolts and cannot be repaired,
then the mezzanine system will have to be disassembled and reinstalled in another location. Pay particular
attention to the pivot point connections. Make sure that the bolts and spacers are not bent, rusty, cracked, etc.
Replace any fastener that is not in satisfactory condition.
3. Support braces: inspect both braces. Look for cracks, warps, bends, etc. Replace a brace if it is damaged.
