Height-Adjustable Railcar Vehicle Access Platform Kit

Configurable Access for Rail Vehicles and Track-Mounted Equipment

The SafeSmart Height-Adjustable Rail Vehicle Access Platform Kit is a configurable platform system designed for maintenance access around trains and track-mounted equipment. The kit combines two height-adjustable cantilever platforms with a joining bridge, creating a flexible arrangement that can be adapted to different vehicle profiles, service areas, and facility conditions.

Each base platform adjusts independently from 9 ft. 2 in. to 13 ft. 9 in. in height and includes a 2 ft. 6 in. cantilever reach. This allows crews to establish a working position at the required elevation while using one or both platforms, depending on the maintenance task.

The 6 ft. 6 in. joining bridge can connect to either the ends or sides of the base platforms. This gives the system multiple layout possibilities for access around different rail vehicles, track-mounted machines, and elevated service areas.

Key Features
