Originally designed for a client in Australia, this platform—similar to, and based on our truck loading platforms—allows safe and efficient access to the side of a locomotive for engine maintenance.
Work on these locomotives needed to be done away from any permanent platforms, outside of the workshop, often in remote maintenance locations where no permanent height access infrastructure is present.
This high-tensile welded aluminum platform is simply wheeled by hand up to the locomotive and foot-locked into place. Maintenance contractors are able to work with a hand free for tools, complete with edge protection.
