What Is a Truck Loading Platform?
Truck and material transportation is a frequent source of serious injury. A report from 2021-2022 identified transportation and warehousing as the third most common industry for falls to lower-level injuries, accounting for 16% of 46,005 incidents. During the examined period, the average days away from work due to injury was 22. This lost time adds up over months and years of operations.
A truck loading gangway system is a necessary tool to avoid injury and illness. They provide elevated access to tankers, flatbeds, and trailers. SafeRack’s equipment utilizes guardrails, safety cages, and slip-resistant walking surfaces engineered to meet or exceed OSHA requirements. Truck loading platforms used for tankers often integrate loading arms, grounding, and overfill protection to promote safe handling of hazardous or flammable products.
