Railcar & Tank Car
Loading and inspecting railcars puts workers on top of tall, rounded cars over ballast and track. SkyHigh builds the gangways and overhead systems that make that routine safe.
- Access to the tops of hopper, grain and tank cars at significant height.
- Rounded, narrow surfaces with no built-in tie-off.
- Fixed loading positions repeated many times per day.
We design cantilevered and telescoping gangways with safety cages that lower onto the car, plus overhead lifeline systems above the loading spot.
Systems are engineered to the car profile and loading rack, and load-tested in place with stamped documentation.
