Truck Terminal Loading Platform

High-Volume Truck Loading Terminal Design & Platforms

Designing a high-volume truck terminal requires a holistic approach to throughput, safety, and integration. Terminal operators face the dual pressure of maximizing daily truck counts while ensuring zero accidents in high-traffic zones. SafeRack’s truck terminal loading platforms are engineered to solve these bottlenecks, using gangways and safety cages to protect workers while maintaining efficiency.

Optimizing Terminal Throughput

Productivity at truck terminals is often dependent on speed. A poorly optimized loading platform creates queues, delays drivers, and reduces profitability. SafeRack’s high-volume truck loading terminal is designed to handle busy operations. Our approach includes::

• Simultaneous Multi-Spot Loading: Our platforms allow multiple trucks to load safely side-by-side without interference, drastically reducing turnaround times.
• Integrated Traffic Management: We design systems that support efficient one-way traffic flow, preventing congestion at the rack.
• Automation Compatibility: SafeRack platforms are ready for integration with automated metering skids, overfill protection monitors, and custody transfer systems.
• Versatility: Our truck loading terminals can be used across all trailer types, whether you are loading with bottom hatches, top hatches, or both.

Comprehensive Fall Protection for Diverse Fleets

Falls remain a pervasive safety problem across all industries. In fiscal year 2021-2022 alone, there were 129,010 falls to a lower level resulting in days away, reduced, or transferred (DART). Across all industries, 99 million production days are lost annually to slips, trips, and falls, costing $70 billion in medical costs. Taking proactive action now can avoid lost production and save money.

SafeRack’s truck loading platforms create a consistent, safe zone around workers. Our systems use safety cages and handrails that eliminate gaps in coverage so workers are never left unprotected. All our designs either meet or exceed OSHA requirements and can be used for all truck types, regardless of height or length.
