Enforce controlled pedestrian access across sites in NZ and Australia with high-visibility warehouse safety gates from Tru-Gard

Control pedestrian traffic through busy facility corridors and work zones with heavy-duty warehouse safety gates from Tru-Gard. Engineered from 100% recyclable steel, our personnel gates provide a physical checkpoint that prevents workers and visitors from walking unexpectedly into active forklift lanes or machinery zones.

Designed to integrate with Tru-Gard barriers, handrails, and post assemblies, each 560mmH x 1010mmW gate features auto-close hinges and a specialised Soft-Close kit to eliminate loud slamming and prevent gates from being accidentally left open. Deploying engineered personnel safety gates helps commercial PCBUs maintain strict compliance with WorkSafe NZ and Safe Work Australia workplace safety standards.

Engineered Performance & Key Differentiators

  • Soft-Close & Auto-Close Mechanics: Fitted with auto-close hinges and the Tru-Gard Soft-Close mechanism to guarantee smooth, controlled closure and keep walkways continuously secured.
  • Modular Access Flexibility: Single gates can be paired in a dual-gate configuration to create wider entryways complete with drop-latches and security hardware.
  • Seamless Barrier Integration: Mounts directly onto Tru-Gard standard posts, mounting posts, or bollards to complete continuous walkway perimeter runs.
  • High-Visibility Safety Finish: Powder-coated in vibrant safety yellow with optional compatibility for Driver Protection Zone signage to maximise visual warning in low-light environments.
  • Trans-Tasman Supply Chain: 100% manufactured at our central plant in Dunedin, NZ, with bulk inventory maintained at our Melbourne distribution centre for rapid dispatch.

Applications for Warehouse Safety Gates

Tru-Gard warehouse safety gates deliver effective pedestrian hazard management across industrial facility layouts:

  • Walkway Breakout Points: Position personnel gates at walkway intersections to force workers to pause, look, and confirm clear transit before stepping into vehicle lanes.
  • Driver Containment Enclosures: Integrate self-closing gates into dedicated driver safety zones to keep delivery drivers safely contained during loading and unloading.
  • Restricted Equipment Access: Secure entry points leading to internal maintenance bays, conveyor runs, and automated machinery lines.
