Rack access

Jan 1, 2006 12:00 PM

WHEN new loading racks and rail transloading facilities are being designed, it's important not to overlook the importance of platforms and other loading access systems. These components will play a key role in worker safety, productivity, and efficiency at the facility.

Access systems should be designed to fit a specific operation. That's as true for fixed-position platforms at loading racks as it is for the mobile work platforms that provide operational flexibility at rail transloading sites and locations with constrained work areas.

Bulk Transporter reviews a few of the loading systems offered by some of the key manufacturers in this product roundup. Many of these companies also fabricate platforms for use in cargo tank wash racks and repair facilities.
