Protect Your Employees From The Elements
Extreme hot and cold weather conditions can be brutal on your employees and may lead to exhaustion, dehydration, stress and more. That’s why it’s important to protect workers during adverse weather including securing worksites with adverse weather safeguards, and providing areas for safe shelter.
Professionally designed and engineered Canopy systems can go a long way to transforming your loading bay operations, providing much needed shade in the summer months and protection from rain, sleet, and snow in the winter.
They can also give your business an immediate return on investment because the better working conditions they create can increase efficiency and vastly improve product/vehicle throughput.

Talk to us about a solution tailor made for you
No two loading bays are the same, covering different floor space, different rack systems, and different engineering requirements. This is where our team can step in to understand your plant environment, assess your particular circumstances, then design a Canopy to suit your facility.
The Carbis Way: Helping You Reach Your Goals.
If a tailor made engineering solution sounds slow and expensive, then think again.
Our 45+ employee engineering department works with the industry’s largest library of proven access and loading products and systems. In other words, the team can custom-engineer the most practical, reliable, economical, and productive Canopy system just for you… on time and within budget.
Identifying problems should be the first step.
There is no mid rail on a crash box which results| in a gap larger than the 19” maximum allowed by OSHA for elevated work surfaces. Operators can easily slide under the railing.
The crash box railing on a liquid tank car is not a handrail system. At only 30 inches high it does not adequately protect workers from falling over the top of the railing as they work.
Ladder openings in the crash box provide a major fall hazard as there is nothing to prevent an operator from falling through this opening.
The ladders on a liquid rail car are extremely difficult to climb, especially when burdened by tools or inclement weather.

Rail Car Fall Protection Solutions
Rail cars come in all shapes and sizes. You need flexibility with your railcar loading solution which accommodates every configuration possible. Also, you need a rail car fall protection solution that not only efficiently loads railcars, but also protects workers.
An important note on railcar fall protection
While it is very common in this industry to use a 12″ cage to augment the existing crash box and satisfy the OSHA 42″ handrail requirement, we recommend not stopping there. The abbreviated cage does not satisfactorily protect the worker from gaps underneath the railing, thus exposing workers to danger. Please give us a call to discuss how to keep your workers safer as they go about their railcar operations.
