Telescoping Ramp

Carbis Telescoping Ramp Eliminates Gaps during Vehicle, Hatch Access

Vehicles of Non-Standard Widths Easily Accessed with Telescoping Ramp
The need of operators to access a variety of vehicles, some of which have non-standard widths, can present safety problems for your facility. The major concern in such cases is the gap that often exists between the Truck Gangway or Rail Car Gangway and the vehicle during access procedures. A Carbis Australia Telescoping Ramp resolves issues associated with accessing smaller vehicles, since operators just push out the ramp extension and may leave the extension in position to access vehicles with larger widths as well. The Telescoping Ramp closes gaps during access, and operators can perform their duties in a much safer and faster way.

 Carbis Telescoping Ramp offers significant fall prevention features in cases where operators must load and unload vehicles of varying widths.
With a Telescoping Ramp, you will see:

• Elimination of gaps between gangways and vehicles of non-standard widths
• Easier handling of vehicles of all widths
• Greater safety in the workplace
• Faster access to trucks and rail cars
• Faster throughput in the loading facility

Your operators will enjoy an enhanced environment of safety with the Telescoping Ramp solution from Carbis Australia.

VARYING VEHICLE WIDTHS REQUIRE CARBIS TELESCOPING RAMPS

 

Loading, repair and shipping organisations can give their business a significant boost when they can perform work on any vehicle regardless of its shape or size.

However, it takes the right infrastructure to accommodate vehicles that come in varying widths. When an operation attempts to perform work on a non-standard size vehicle, it creates new fall hazards that could seriously jeopardise the operation.

Typically, gaps will open between the vehicle and the truck or rail car gangway. This puts workers in danger of falls or even crush-between accidents that could lead to costly downtime and medical expenses.

 

To remedy this problem, Carbis Inc. developed its Carbis Telescoping Ramps that can extend to reach even vehicles with the smallest width. Operators can extend the gangway with minimal effort, which will encourage them to make sure it fits snug with the vehicle during every operation.

The ramp comes with an adjustable tension spring that makes raising and lowering extremely easy. To further increase overall safety and keep accidents to a minimum, the platform is made with a slip-resistant walking surface.

What’s more, Carbis can design, manufacture and install these products so that they fit with existing loading and unloading infrastructure, and are compliant with any company requirements that are already in place.

The telescopic access gangway can be fabricated using either aluminium or steel, which can also be galvanised, primed, milled or painted. Stainless steel is also an option, and is ideal for any operation that needs to stand up to environmental rigours.

Further driving down costs, the ramp requires very little maintenance, and any repairs that must be made can be performed in the field.

Improving industrial safety, especially in shipping and loading operations, can lead to a much more productive workforce.

Carbis – Access Gangway

CHEMICAL COMPANIES TURN TO CARBIS TO IMPROVE SAFETY DURING CLEANING OPERATIONS

 

Workers at chemical plants and manufacturing companies are exposed to several hazards, ranging from exposure to harmful liquids to fires and explosions.

Mitigating these risks is essential for any company that works in this space; however, this can sometimes be a time-consuming and costly affair. The best way to keep workers safe while minimising downtime and overall costs, several companies have found, is to turn to products from Carbis Inc.

 

In one instance, a chemical development company needed a better way to clean its liquid tank truck trailers. The group needed to focus on safety and productivity, so it consulted with Carbis to design and build a better Access Gangway that was unique to the organisation’s operating conditions.

Before Carbis’ review, the company was using two gangways fitted alongside each other to give employees access to hatches on top of its liquid tank truck trailers. However, this design created several fall hazards since there was no protective cage between the two gangways. Anytime employees had to transfer from one platform to another, serious fall hazards arose.

When designing the new system, Carbis’ renowned flexibility, experiences and customer commitment shined brilliantly, as the system was tailor-made to meet the company’s requirements.

In only eight months, Carbis was able to design a product that was exactly what the chemical company needed to give productivity a boost and keep its workers safe.

Carbis specialises in making gangways safer for any organisation. The company offers several accessories that can also be retrofitted onto existing gangways to increase safety, including safety cages for trucking and rail applications, track mounting systems, power accessories and swing gates.

Companies that have partnered with Carbis say the increased safety allows them to put more focus on the task at hand, leading to higher productivity and customer satisfaction.

CLEANING UP THE MESS WITH CARBIS PRODUCTS

 

Around the world, rail cars that are involved in hazardous material spills, such as waste, oil or chemicals, draw serious attention, and the fines and claims lodged afterward can lead to enormous costs.

However, it isn’t always the high-profile spills that can be extremely costly and potentially damaging to a company’s reputation. Even minor spills that occur at docking stations can lead to serious penalties and fines, depending on which regulations are not complied with.

Railcar operators can mitigate the risks of these spills with the right products from Carbis Incorporated, which are designed specifically for the railcar industry.

This spill containment equipment is an effective way to clean up any spills or drips that may occur during material handling processes. The pans fit easily into all rail cars and loading/unloading areas, and facilities managers can rest assured they are in full compliance with environmental regulations.

 

Like all Carbis products, these pans can be uniquely designed for any facility. However, all units come standard with a few key features. The pans can be installed from end-to-end on rails, so no area is left unprotected, and are manufactured with high-gauge carbon steel for added strength.

Depending on facility managers’ preferences, the pans can be made out of galvanised or stainless steel or aluminium – all of which are much stronger and longer-lasting than traditional fibreglass

Further demonstrating how Carbis’ spill containment systems can be tailor made for any operation, the systems that are available include a center pan and two side pans that are linked together by a drain, providing ultimate coverage. However, center pans can be used alone if it is necessary.

With the right investment in Carbis’ spill containment products, businesses can significantly lower the chance of having to pay hefty fees and penalties related to environmental regulatory compliance.
