This Cemex Gulf Coast cement plant wanted an updated access system for trucks. SafeRack used Flat Ramp Style Gangways and a Hopper Trailer Safety Cage to protect workers while loading or inspecting cement trucks.
Cemex Gulf Coast Cement Truck Loading Platform with Safety Cage
At this Cemex Gulf Coast facility, operators were frequently put in precarious positions when accessing the tops of pneumatic trailers and dry bulk containers. SafeRack engineered a cement truck loading platform with safety cages that created safe repeated access to top hatches and fall protection throughout the loading and unloading process. The loading platform uses a SafeRack Flat Ramp Style Gangway with a SavkoLock Mechanical Lockdown System and a Hopper Trailer Cage to keep product moving while reducing fall-related risks.
Cement Truck Loading Fall Protection for High‑Cycle Operations
Cement plants require cement truck loading fall protection that can withstand dust, vibration, and constant traffic. SafeRack’s G4 Series Offset Cage is built with durable, heavy-duty aluminum that withstands years of high-cycle operations. It can integrate seamlessly into pre-existing loading gangways or platforms to surround the worker at all times while loading and unloading cement. It can be offset to the left or right, or positioned straight on.
SafeRack’s cement loading safety cage provides consistent access to top hatches, allowing workers to open and close perpendicular cement hatches without lifting the cage or asking the driver to re‑spot the truck. These small adjustments are common sources of injury during dry bulk loading. In 2024, cement plants had an injury rate of 1.8 per 100 workers. Minimizing movements and a stable cage increase fall protection throughout the entire operation.
