OVERVIEW
Access to the tops of tank trucks, rail cars, and ISO tank containers from a platform/loading rack is paramount for safe and productive loading, unloading, venting, and inspecting operations.
Retractable Access platform stairs are simple systems that can be lowered into position to access the top of a tank from the stored position. Once the safe working task is completed, the Retractable Access Platform -Folding Stairs is simply raised back to the stored position.
