Unit Train Flat Ramps
Economical, Faster, and Safer Vehicle Access At Height
If your facility includes loading spots characterized by a need to service the same kind of vehicle repeatedly, Flat Ramps designed by Carbis Solutions, will provide the walkway safety you need to ensure fall protection for your employees.
Carbis Solutions configures Flat Rail Car Ramps with several types of safety cages and a choice of optional walk surfaces, and custom and track mounts. Like all Carbis products, they can be customized to your specifications. Gangways are supplied with spring balance operation standard for raising and lowering, but they can be provided with hydraulics or pneumatics for added assistance as well.
Unit Train Flat Ramp Gangway Features:
- Minimize trip hazards on walk surfaces.
- Provide guardrails that comply with OSHA standards.
- Completely enclose the work space.
- Provide standard spring balance for raising and lowering gangways.
- Offer optional pneumatic or hydraulic systems to raise or lower gangways.
While it is very common in this industry to use a 12″ cage to augment the existing crash box and satisfy the OSHA 42″ handrail requirement, we recommend not stopping there. The abbreviated cage does not satisfactorily protect the worker from gaps underneath the railing, thus exposing workers to danger. Please give us a call to discuss how to keep your workers safer as they go about their railcar operations.
