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

Frequently Asked Question
What are cantilever ladders used for?

Cantilever ladders provide safe overhead access to areas that are otherwise difficult to reach—such as the tops of railcars, tank trucks, and tall machinery. The C Series is designed to extend operators over an object while remaining stable and easy to maneuver.

Can one person operate the ladder safely?

Yes. The C Series is designed for single-user operation. Its steel base delivers a solid counterbalance, while the aluminum upper frame keeps the unit lightweight enough to position and adjust without assistance.

How does this compare to a mobile work platform like RollaStep?

While both offer mobile access solutions, the C Series cantilever ladder is purpose-built for up-and-over reach—ideal for clearing obstacles or accessing the tops of enclosed equipment. RollaStep work platforms, on the other hand, are well suited for flat, level access across varying heights.

Does SafeRack offer help with site assessments or ladder selection?

Yes. Our team provides complimentary on-site safety evaluations to help you select the right ladder or platform solution for your facility. We consider your workflow, compliance needs, and clearance challenges to deliver a safer, more efficient setup from day one.

I order from SafeRack because I always know they will exceed my expectations. With SafeRack, I look forward to placing orders with them because I know everything will be handled from when I order the product until I unload it off the delivery truck. I also know that if there is a problem, it will be handled quickly and professionally and they will stay in contact with me throughout the entire order and check up periodically to make sure everything is going OK. The product was delivered ahead of schedule as are most of the orders I place with SafeRack. The ease of installation is the best feature of the gangway. The construction, ease of use, and high visibility color scheme all make this a well rounded product.

Friendly, humble and helpful. Very prompt and to the point. Katie Kelly, Curt Brown, and Nathan Elliot were all very helpful and responsive. I am very happy with SafeRack's delivery time; especially due to the fact that SC was in the middle of a hurricane and undergoing extreme flooding and setbacks due to the storm, SafeRack managed to get our load out the door, and on the way despite the adversity, everyone was facing. Very impressed! I would recommend this product because it is engineered and constructed of quality materials, it is designed to meet or exceed industrial applications, and is also cosmetically nice looking. The SafeRack team consists of people who are helpful and great to work with. SafeRack provides experienced and knowledgeable staff that helps the process go smoothly.
