There are many situations where operators need unrestricted access to tanker tops. In most cases, this is where improved fall prevention is required for an old gantry.
Tanker tops can be as high as 4150mm above ground. Platforms built before 1985 are generally designed for tankers below 3400mm. This means that operators have difficulty making loading arms drain into tanker tops and do not need the extra inconvenience of an obstructive folding stair. By making the stairs extra wide, the access is unrestricted, and the operator can utilise the additional space to position the loading arm and not impede access.
Carbis Loadtec’s wide folding stairs allow for variations in vehicle spotting, which reduces loading time and improves site safety.
