If you work in a chemical plant, you may be aware of the risks chemical plants pose to employees and the bottom line of the company. Workers must encounter potentially dangerous chemicals to process the products. But managers also need to keep the materials coming in and the products moving out. In this case, a truck loading rack can prove to be an invaluable safety tool. If you are looking for an innovative way to safely transport materials, check out the RediRack from Carbis Solutions.

Designing your ideal loading rack solution is often a challenging and tedious task. What types of vehicles will be loading or unloading there? Who will operate the equipment? What challenges exist at the site, such as piping obstructions, traffic flow issues, and safety requirements? Before long, even simple solutions can get overwhelming. That is why Sam Carbis Solutions Group designed RediRack.

The RediRack Component System

The RediRack System begins with a standard 4’ x 6’ pedestal-supported platform with a stair unit; from there, it is completely customizable to meet your specific needs. Customizations include a choice of gangways, footers, cages, canopies, eye wash stations, and loading arm support. Each component is designed to correlate with the system to keep the system design simple and guarantee optimal results.

Gangways and Ramps

Depending on the vehicles being accessed, the appropriate access ramp can vary. We offer the choice of a self-leveling tread gangway, a flat-ramp style gangway, or a telescoping gangway. Each is available in a variety of widths and materials to meet your site's environmental requirements and specifications.

Safety cages

Safety cages for your truck loading rack are a terrific way to protect your employees while they work. They can also be configured to meet the exact dimensions of your tank truck, with features such as single or multiple hatch access. Safety cages for truck loading racks are designed with the best possible protection for your workers while keeping the overall cost of installation in mind. According to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), every workplace should have a safety cage for truck loading operation.

Canopies

Keeping your product and your workers safe from the elements goes a long way toward building a better solution.  By including a half or full canopy over your loading operation, you help prevent product contamination and keep your workers safer.

Eyewash Station or Safety Shower

When your operators are exposed to harsh chemicals, time is of the essence.  With our optional eye wash stations and safety showers, your workers can have peace of mind.

Loading Arm Support

Each of our RediRack systems has been designed to accommodate loading arms and/or boom-style hose handlers to keep your product moving quickly and efficiently.
