A metropolitan rail operator in Sydney Australia needed a complete ‘all-in-one' system for gaining access to the top and doors of their rolling stock during maintenance. And because their facility had no permanent docking to suit all types of trains, the system needed to be easily maneuvered in addition to being strong.
Maintenance is carried out on overhead systems of the train and within door-level compartments. SafeSmart took measurements of all critical access points and utlilized their in-house design team for creating a unique mobile platform. This two-level platform is made from high-tensile aluminum and features integrated power outlets and a rubbish chute for easy disposal of debris without having to climb down.
Rubber buffers and flaps help to protect the train itself from the platform.
Since this installation, similar operators in the UK have commissioned SafeSmart to supply systems like this for their workshops. SafeSmart can design, manufacture and deliver these products to anywhere in the USA.
