In 1930 the founder of Carbis, Samuel Carbis, designed the first aluminum fire ladder. Since that time Carbis has been exclusively committed to designing, manufacturing and installing the equipment and structures that ensure the complete safe and secure access to fall prevention for workers loading cargo around the world. Every year thousands of industrial falls are reported and the increased height from which someone falls increases the seriousness of injury. The cost of these accidents to the victim, the industry and the country is enormous. The workers who are loading cargo onto trucks, railcars, ships, barges or other vehicles and vessels have the right to expect to be able to rely on safe cargo loading equipment meeting OSHA compliance regulations. Carbis is dedicated to installing safety fall prevention equipment for personnel loading cargo on any loading and unloading site throughout the country.

Carbis is a world leader in the design, construction and installation of bulk railcar cargo loading, safe access fall prevention and personnel protective equipment and structures. Carbis' safety loading cargo equipment drives productivity as it protects workers who are loading cargo and bulky material onto trucks, trains, ships and barges as well as personnel moving to and from or on and about elevated structures, vehicles and equipment. Every Carbis solution is customized for specific applications and the company is able to draw from a large library of designs of proven equipment and cargo loading systems created for nearly all Fortune 500 clients during the past seventy-five years.

In locations all across the world Carbis is the premier company in providing safe loading cargo equipment and supplies bio-diesel and ethanol loading systems, fall-arrest systems, life lines and safety harnesses, automated flat bed tarp installation systems, fall prevention cages, fixed and caged safety ladders, handrails, loading arms, couplers and swivel joints, safety ladders and aviation ground support access equipment systems. Carbis is routinely relied upon to conduct safety audits for customers who engage personnel for loading cargo and the company is asked to serve in a consulting role for many companies. Carbis has over forty-five employees working in its engineering department who can call upon the industry's largest library of safety access and loading cargo products to custom engineer the most practical, economical and reliable productive solutions for customers.
