A Smart Solution For Loading Dock, Mezzanine And Machine Guarding Safety

EdgeSafe® Smart Gates from PS Safety Access™ are the flexible, easy-to-use way to keep workers and customers away from loading dock and mezzanine edges, as well as other dangers.


Improve employee and customer safety the smart way by utilizing the EdgeSafe Smart Gate from PS Safety Access in your facility. With flexible sizing to fit virtually any situation, our Smart Gate is ideal for a variety of applications, including loading docks, fall protection/railing openings, mezzanines, machine guarding, equipment protection, ground-level traffic/pedestrian control, aisle violator, area perimeter protection, and crowd control where forklift traffic (or other machinery) is present.

Designed with patent pending features, this gate provides ground-level protection as well as fall protection for low height guardrail openings or exposed edges. With just one hand, this gate lifts vertically 90 degrees (without pinch points), giving access to the restricted/protected area. Each gate is designed with a Lock-Out feature to prevent unauthorized access.

EdgeSafe Smart Gates are available in both Single (48″ to 156″) and Double (108″ to 324″) gate configurations to accommodate a variety of opening sizes ranging from typical to extra large. Double gates, for example, are well suited for low headroom and wide areas.

Why EdgeSafe is the smart choice:

  • Safety That Pays – The EdgeSafe Smart Gate keeps your team safe while keeping your facility running efficiently.
  • Extended Configurations – Available in both Single (48″ to 156″) and Double (108″ to 324″) gate configurations to accommodate a variety of applications and opening sizes ranging from typical to extra large. The Double gate is well suited for low headroom and wide areas.
  • Flexible Sizing – Gate systems are adjustable to fit a variety of clear opening widths.
  • Easy Operation – A counterbalanced design makes it easy for one person to operate the gate smoothly with just one hand.
  • No Slamming – A unique dampening system keeps the gate from closing hard, and the damper is specially mounted high up to prevent it from becoming damaged.
  • Lifts Out Of The Way – The gate lifts vertically 90 degrees (without pinch points) to ensure plenty of clearance.
  • Built To Last – Heavy-gauge steel and a powder coat yellow finish make it ideal for repetitive use.
  • Ships Via FedEx Or UPS – Plus, once assembled, gates simply bolt to the existing floor or concrete.
  • Lock-Out Standard On All Gates – Each model can be locked to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Optional Toeboard – On select models, an optional toeboard (sold separately) helps to increase edge protection from falling objects.
