LIFT GATES
At MCL, we’re proud to offer cutting-edge lift gates, designed to complement our innovative modular conveyor systems, and optimise the efficiency and safety of your workspace.
Conveyor lift gates are an integral component of any conveyor system, designed to create a passageway for personnel or equipment to pass through. The typical lift gate consists of a section of conveyor that can be raised or lowered, allowing easy access across the conveyor line whilst minimising product flow bottlenecks and disruption.
This feature is particularly useful in facilities where conveyor systems span large areas, and frequent crossings are necessary.

A lift gate is used to provide temporary access across conveyor systems in facilities where continuous movement of goods is essential.
Particularly useful in environments where personnel frequently need to cross conveyor lines or where equipment needs to be moved from one side of the conveyor to the other, lift gates enhance operational efficiency and safety by eliminating the need for employees to manually lift or step over conveyor belts.
The expected lifespan of a lift gate typically ranges from 10 to 20 years, depending on the frequency of use, the environment in which it operates and the quality of maintenance work.
