What sizes do these Vestil safety lift gates come in?
Three models are available: 72 x 43, 96 x 43, and 120 x 43 inches. SLG-6 is listed at 72 x 43, SLG-8 at 96 x 43, and SLG-10 at 120 x 43. Measure the opening you need to guard, then match it to the closest model. The specification sheet gives these two dimensions only, so request a drawing if you need clearances.
How do I choose the right model for my opening?
Measure the clear width of the pallet drop opening at your mezzanine or platform edge and pick the model that covers it. The three gates step up in size — SLG-6, SLG-8, SLG-10 — at $439.48, $490.04, and $534.25. A gate narrower than the opening leaves a gap, and the next size up may not fit the surrounding rail.
Do these gates require electrical power or an air supply?
No electrical, hydraulic, or air supply is listed. The product data for all three models gives brand, type, size, warranty, and price only — no motor, voltage, or amperage — so plan the installation without a power drop at the gate location. If your application requires a powered or interlocked gate, confirm that before ordering, because these specifications do not describe one.
What load can the gate hold?
The specifications list no load rating. Treat the gate as a barrier at an elevated pallet drop opening, not as a work platform or a surface for stacking material. OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, requires open-sided floors and platforms to be guarded above a set height, so check the current standard against your specific installation before relying on any single product.
Where are they made and what warranty comes with them?
They are made in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing and carry a 1-Year Limited warranty, which applies to all three models. The specification sheet does not state what the warranty covers in detail, whether labor is included, or how claims are filed, so request the written warranty document from Vestil if those terms matter to your purchase decision.
What do the listed prices include?
Prices run from $439.48 to $534.25 depending on size: SLG-6 at $439.48, SLG-8 at $490.04, and SLG-10 at $534.25. Those figures cover the gate as listed in the product data. Freight, installation labor, and lead time are not stated in these specifications, so ask for a quote that covers delivery to your site.
