Benko Products delivers custom foundationless railcar platform for safer loading
The solution features a single-pedestal platform equipped with a tracking safety bridge and a spring-operated fold-down ramp. This design minimizes foundation costs while enabling operators to safely access any point along the 13-foot platform — eliminating the need to climb railcars with tools in hand.
The platform also incorporates a fall restraint system with an overhead trolley beam, offering full mobility and meeting OSHA’s 5,000-pound tie-off requirement. The project underscores the importance of selecting the appropriate fall protection system based on factors such as fall clearance, secure tie-off locations and chemical exposure risks.
