Elevating Truck Platforms

Overview

With the Carbis Elevating Truck Platform, Access to All Types of Vehicle Trailers Is a Breeze.

Carbis offers a wide range of configurations for elevating truck platforms. With safety and easy access always in mind, Carbis provides platforms that can access multiple trailers and multiple hatches. Our elevating truck platforms can be integrated efficiently with existing systems, while always functioning as independent structures that don't impose additional loads on structures already in operation. The many benefits of the Carbis elevating truck platform include

Carbis Elevating Truck Platforms provide:

• a self-leveling gangway that can be operated pneumatically, hydraulically, or manually
• a carriage that attaches the platform to a support column
• counterweights that are concealed and protected inside a support tube
• a complete handrail, 42 inches in height, a midrail, and toeboard enclosure
• a padded lower edge that protects vehicles against damage
• optional flip-up floor panels that provide complete access to the vehicle and stop spotting problems

Benefits

Projects

• Elevating Platform for Trucks

  Late in 2010 Carbis designed and manufactured an advanced loading system for a chocolate manufacturer in Amsterdam. The Elevating Tanker Access System has the same operating range as our Truck Enclosure but with the added capability to mirror the slope on tanker tops by lowering each end using pushbuttons on the platform control panel.

• Carbis Maximizes Fall Protection for Chemical Institute

  When large chemical firm were reviewing their existing loading infrastructure used to access multiple vehicle types, they realized that their safety equipment required an update. Using four elevated cage-style loading racks, operators found it difficult to access the multiple vehicle types processed daily in a safe and efficient manner. They called upon Carbis...

• Truck Elevating Platforms and Loading Arms

  Carbis proposed designing a dual sided elevating truck access system. This is a vertically elevating platform with flip‐up floor panels that allows operators to walk freely and safely on top of the tanker anywhere along it’s length. Carbis further proposed a dual sided manifold arrangement, which gave simple yet effective liquid selection to the operators. The manifold is positioned at a higher level than the access platform to allow adequate drainage down to the tanker.
