Abstract: The present disclosure relates to gate apparatus, and related lift apparatus and methods, for manufacturing facilities. In one or more embodiments, a lift apparatus includes a walkway and a lift table. The lift apparatus includes a travel block coupled to the lift table. The travel block lifts and lowers with the lift table. The lift apparatus includes a first linkage coupled to the travel block. Lifting of the travel block moves the first linkage in a first direction, and lowering of the travel block moves the first linkage in a second direction that is opposite of the first direction. The lift apparatus includes a movable gate, and a second linkage coupled to the movable gate. Movement of the second linkage in the first direction lowers the movable gate, and movement of the second linkage in the second direction lifts the movable gate at least partially above the walkway.
