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.

Benefits of lift gates

  • Reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.

  • Enhance accessibility in your facility.

  • Better operational efficiency.

  • Versatile and ideal for many different conveyor systems.

  • Easy to integrate into existing systems.

  • Cost-effective improvements to workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS A LIFT GATE?

A lift gate is a component of a conveyor system that can be raised or lowered to allow easy passage for personnel and equipment across conveyor lines, and is designed to provide a convenient and safe way to navigate over or under conveyor belts without interrupting the flow of materials.

WHAT IS A LIFT GATE USED FOR?

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.

WHAT IS THE EXPECTED LIFSPAN OF A LIFT GATE?

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. Regular maintenance and proper use can significantly extend the lifespan of a lift gate, ensuring it remains a reliable component of your conveyor system for many years. 

At MCL, we’re proud to offer an ongoing support system as part of our service that will proactively deliver updates and repairs, and help you get the most out of your investment.
