Heavy-Duty Support
Rail transport is depended on for freight transport for a wide variety of industries ranging from agriculture to oil and gas, forestry, and more. With a single railcar weighing close to a quarter of a million pounds, having viable loading options is essential to workplace safety, as well as efficiency. From single cars to multiple hatch platforms and more, loading and unloading is much easier with an access platform designed to handle the unique challenges associated with such equipment.
Safety when it comes to loading railcars involves the inclusion of multiple features that reduce the risks of sudden falls, as well as ensuring that all equipment is in prime working order. Railcar platforms typically feature the following for safety:
- Gangways & safety cages
- Loading/unloading arms
- Operator shelters
- Spill containment
- Single/double-sided loading racks
- Emergency safety showers & eye wash stations
- Optional canopies to protection operators from the elements
SafeRack’s line of railcar solutions includes industry-leading safety features and provides superior performance for unbeatable ROI.
