MAXRack with a SAS Gangway for Truck Loading at Buckman in Memphis, TN
Buckman’s facility in Memphis, Tennessee, required a secure and efficient way for workers to access the tops of tank trucks during loading operations. The project combined a MAXRack elevating platform with a Custom SAS Metal Gangway to create a safer and more ergonomic access point for truck loading. The Custom SAS Metal Gangway was designed specifically for this installation and works with the MAXRack platform to provide practical access to tank truck tops. Built for durability and OSHA compliance, the system supports worker safety while helping streamline loading operations at the Buckman facility.
What Is a Custom SAS Metal Gangway?
A Custom SAS Metal Gangway is a self-adjusting stair gangway designed to provide access between a loading platform and the top of a truck. In this Buckman installation, the Custom SAS Metal Gangway is integrated with a MAXRack elevating platform to create a secure access system for tank truck loading. The self-adjusting design allows the gangway to work with the elevated platform while providing a practical route for workers to reach the truck top. Its custom configuration makes it suited to the specific requirements of the Buckman loading application.
Importance of a Custom SAS Metal Gangway
Accessing the top of a tank truck can require workers to operate at an elevated position during loading. A properly configured gangway provides a more secure and ergonomic way to reach the truck top while supporting safer loading procedures. At Buckman, the Custom SAS Metal Gangway works together with the MAXRack platform to provide an integrated access solution. This combination helps improve the way workers approach truck loading while supporting the facility’s focus on worker safety, durability, and OSHA compliance.
How It Works
The MAXRack provides an elevating platform that positions the access system for truck loading. The SAS gangway then provides the connection between the platform and the top of the tank truck. As a self-adjusting stair gangway, the Custom SAS Metal Gangway is designed to provide practical access as part of the elevated loading system. Together, the MAXRack and gangway create a coordinated access solution for workers who need to reach tank truck tops during loading operations.
