Access Platforms, Stairs and Gangways

OSHA-compliant safe access to tank trucks, semi trailers, train railcars and flatbed trucks.

Loading or accessing the top of vehicles present safety situations that always require a guardrail protected access platform.

But your facility and loading/unloading operation is unique. DFP is a complete turnkey solutions provider that designs, fabricates and installs the access platforms, access stairs, gangways, and caged gangways needed to reduce risks associated with climbing onto or over a train, truck, trailer or railcar.

electrical switchgear.

You likely need safe access if your workers:

• + Strap or tarp loads on semi trailer or flatbed trucks.
• + Fill or sample loads from tanker trucks, bulk loading vehicles, or railroad cars.
• + Maintain or work on top of trains or other rail cars.

Access Platforms with Lightweight Gangways

FACT: Over 70 percent of end users purchasing fall protection systems for use over rail cars and truck trailers order access platforms with lightweight gangways as part of the project.

A gangway, sometimes referred to as a ramp or open stairway, allows users to safely access truck and railcar loading sites.

Custom size platforms fabricated to meet your specifications are available painted or hot dipped galvanized.

Please note: to provide complete worker safety your situation may also require the addition of fall restraint equipment and/or fall arrest devices.
