Gates Manufacturing

get your dishes moving

Gates Manufacturing is a family-owned company dedicated to the design, engineering, and fabrication of high quality conveyor systems and floor troughs for commercial food service facilities. Located in St. Louis, Missouri, they build complete, turnkey tray make-up and soiled dish conveyor systems for institutions such as hotels, casinos, hospitals, senior care facilities, schools, and prisons across the country.

Because Gates has skilled designers, engineers, fabricators, and installation technicians all under one roof, they can assure you that your project will flow – from conception to installation – with the same consistent quality and attention to detail that they put into every one of their world-class conveyor systems.

What Gates Offers

Conveyor Solutions

There’s no such thing as a ‘standard’ conveyor system – every project has different application challenges, different layouts, and different volume demands. That’s why Gates offers over a half dozen belt designs, from slats to fabric to rollers. And that’s why they employ a staff of designers and engineers – so that they can work with you from a project’s conception to build a system that suits your specific needs.

So instead of a system configured from ‘off-the-shelf’ modules, your Gates solution will fit your space and needs precisely – including custom fabricated shelves and tables, and fixtures, if necessary – and will provide years of low maintenance service, whatever your budget.

Floor Troughs

Although routinely considered to be the ‘last step’ in a kitchen’s work flow, we believe that your floor trough system should be as well conceived, designed, and constructed as any other component in your facility. That’s why we devote the same design resources and attention to fabrication detail to our floor trough systems as we do all our products.

Gates offers troughs for a wide range of configurations and applications, including size, depth, drain, and grating options to suit any needs.
