Large Work Area
The C Series 24” wide by 48 1/8” (minimum) extended platform provides ample work area for an operator, tools, and parts. The self-supporting platform extends 2’ 5”(736.6mm) beyond the base of the chassis our rolling ladder provides access while eliminating contact with the vehicle or equipment being serviced. Optional safety cages are designed to sit atop a tank truck or a railcar’s crashbox, closing gaps, creating a safe working environment for workers
Our self-draining aggressive tread is featured on all platforms and steps, providing safe, all-weather access in rain and snow and reducing ice buildup.

Rolls Easily
The lightweight, high-quality 360° swivel casters, equipped with secure locking mechanisms, allow the rolling, cantilevered C Series ladder to be positioned both indoors and outdoors, enabling precise placement around delicate equipment. Once set in place, the locking casters secure the C Series stair, ensuring stability and reliable safety during use.
Forklift pockets enable quick and easy relocation over longer distances.

Full-Size Handrails
The full-size handrails, with a 2” (50.8mm) diameter, offer a secure grip, feature a durable powder-coated finish, and comply with OSHA standards.

Safety Cages
Bolt-on safety cages are often used in railcar bulk loading applications. They are designed to sit atop a tank truck or a railcar’s crashbox, closing gaps and ensuring a safe working environment for workers. Our safety cages seamlessly integrate with our cantilevered ladder and are available in various finishes and sizes to suit any application and railcar type. Powder coating options are available and ideal for use in corrosive environments.
The standard C Series safety cage is 4’x6′ with 1.5″ schedule 10 aluminum pipe
