Most of us associate tanker trucks with the transportation of hazardous chemicals like oil and gas. Yet tanker trucks routinely transport a broad range of raw materials, such as those used by food manufacturers. For example, liquids like milk, fruit juice, and cooking oil, and dry goods such as sugar and grain.
When transporting liquids in a food-grade tanker, an access hatch on the top of the tanker is used to add and remove liquid. Climbing to the top of the tanker and standing on top of the tanker are two of the biggest safety hazards that employees and drivers face.
A truck gangway reduces these risks while greatly accelerating the loading and unloading of tanker trucks. SafeRack offers OHSA-compliant truck gangways that feature a powered lift and lower system. A positive locking system protects drivers and workers automatically. And weldless handrails and mid-rails ensure a stronger and longer service life. Contact the SafeRack team to learn more about the number one-selling truck gangways in North America.
