The right tilt gate makes all the difference

Haagh Protection offers a wide range of Variogate (safety) swing gates, each with its own functionality. They all serve the same purpose: to safely and efficiently secure openings in warehouses, on mezzanine floors, and on mezzanines. “With our experience and expertise, we ensure that the chosen solution is optimally tailored to the customer’s needs and the specific on-site conditions,” says Kay Mullenders, director of Haagh Protection.

Companies invest in swing gates or Variogates to create a safe and efficient working environment at height in industrial and logistics warehouses. Variogate swing gates offer optimal protection against the risk of falls. “It often happens that a customer initially indicates a preference for a specific type of tilt gate, for example, for aesthetic reasons. But when our specialists take a closer look at the situation, it often turns out that a different type of gate is much better suited to the working conditions,” says Kay Mullenders, director of Haagh Protection.

The Right Choice

He gives a few examples. “For heavy pallet loads and crane runways, a barrier-type system is needed to move the load safely and in a controlled manner to the correct location. If there is limited space on the platform floor, a guillotine-type system is more suitable. We also have cost-effective and safe models in our product line for those on a tighter budget. Our approach always begins with a detailed consultation to understand the specific needs and circumstances: in which industry does the company operate? What are the risk factors? Which standards and regulations apply? What technical requirements—such as load sizes, load capacity, dimensions, and compatibility with existing systems—are involved? We aim to take the burden off our customers by providing the right advice, safe products, installation, and professional (annual) inspection services.”

Stainless Steel

Versions made of both 304 and 316 stainless steel are also available. “Thanks to their hygienic properties and high corrosion resistance, these variants are particularly well-suited for applications in the food industry and the pharmaceutical sector, among others. A stainless steel swing gate combines a long service life with compliance with the strictest hygiene requirements.”

In addition, swing gates made of hot-dip galvanized material are an option. “This finish is ideal for demanding industrial environments and outdoor applications where moisture and heavy use are factors. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides effective protection against corrosion and wear.”

Quality, Safety, and Sustainability Requirements

No matter what choice the customer makes, Haagh Protection provides customized solutions that meet the highest standards for quality, safety, and sustainability. “All Variogate fall protection devices in our standard product line are TÜV-certified, which ensures compliance with the strictest European standards for safety and quality. Combined with our expertise, experience, and approach, this ensures safe work processes, smooth logistics operations, and reliable protection for employees. The right tilt gate makes all the difference.”
