Portable mobile access platform
By Jessica Darnbrough
SPACEPAC Industries has released a portable mobile access platform with a tight turning radius and easy manoeuvring to simplify spotting.
According to the manufacturer, the TC6 can be used for sampling, loading, inspection, unloading, venting and connecting hoses.
The platform has a 225kg load capacity and tow bar for repositioning.
It is suitable for tank truck and railcar access, but can be modified to suit other vehicles or purposes.
The company says it has improved safety with a serrated decking on the platform, which is self-cleaning and slip-resistant.
The tank car platform is 0.5m by 0.12m, with handrail fall protection. I
t allows operators to access most tank car crashbox openings.
An optional wheel brake can be used as an alternative to the corner jacks if the unit is on a level surface. Optional fork tubes can be attached to the base of the unit to help transport the TC6 using a forklift truck.
