SafeRack engineered and installed a six-spot loading platform for integrated truck and railcar access, supporting bulk chemical transfer for a major distributor. The modular platform uses G4 and GX gangways with adjustable safety cages to protect operators during loading. Each spot is precisely configured for vehicle positioning, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and environmental exposure. This all-in-one solution includes proper drainage, durable construction, and integrated canopies to shield critical assets from weather and debris. The installation was planned through on-site assessments and engineered drawings, ensuring operational efficiency met OSHA compliance standards. SafeRack’s team delivered turnkey support—from layout design to installation oversight and post-project maintenance guidance—boosting both safety and productivity for this vital industry process.
Truck loading racks are more than simply a safety net for your personnel; they also safeguard your goods.
Consider a tanker truck containing a valuable mixture of chemicals. These compounds must be kept free of impurities. Depending on the composition of the mixture inside, anything as innocuous as rainfall may pollute your supply. For example, the Brenntag Group, a world market leader in full-line chemical and ingredient distribution, chose Saferack for truck & railcar bulk chemical distribution channels.
When tank truck access systems are inadequately built, truck drivers tend to take shortcuts and put their lives in danger to access the trucks more quickly. As a result, it was clear that the company's current approach was not optimized for speed, but it also increased the danger of a production-stopping accident.
This isn't a concern when dealing with a safety solutions supplier like Saferack, which has a track record of providing personalized installations to suit your needs. Your provider can easily add truck or railcar canopies to cover your personnel and supplies from the outside contaminants.
