FLATBED TARPING

Help Stop a Fall from Flatbed Trailers

Reasons to choose Flatbed Truck Personal Fall Protection System from Carbis.

If your plant uses flatbed carriers, how do you stop this? A truck arrives, gets loaded, and the driver climbs up to tarp the load. Then they slip and fall. It’s not a long drop, but the fallout hits hard.

Sam Carbis Solutions Group knows these risks pile up fast hospital bills and insurance claims for the driver stack up quick, while your own premiums spike since the accident’s on your turf. You could face lawsuits tying up time and cash, or regulators might demand a full safety audit, digging into every corner of your operation. Lost productivity from downtime adds another hit, and if word spreads, your reputation could take a beating too. Thankfully, we have a solution.

Safety Solutions to Protect Your Team

Full Perimeter Railing System

Swing gates and handrail systems encompass the full length of the trailer during the tarping process offering protection for the driver as they tarp their load.

Manual or Power-Operated Systems

 An optional push-button start from Carbis Solutions kicks off the process and triggers an alarm to warn nearby workers that the unit is in motion. Pressure-sensitive plates on each platform stop gaps and truck damage, even if the spot’s slightly off.

Stop the Fall: The Facts in Short

  • A fall from the height of an average trailer is enough to seriously injure or even kill an operator.
  • The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) requires all drivers and any other employees to be fully protected.
  • If full protection is not in place, OSHA has the power to levy large fines on your loading company.
  • The loading area where an accident takes place could be shut down entirely, preventing products from leaving your facility and hitting the profitability of your company.
  • A fall injury could even lead to a full facility safety audit.

Flatbed Access Platforms

Remember, safety is paramount when it comes to working with flatbed truck trailers. Don’t overlook the importance of fall protection for the well-being of your workers and the success of your operations.

Stay safer with Carbis Flatbed Trailer Protection Solutions

This is why we have developed our safe access system to protect anyone accessing the back of their truck from accidental falls.

It may not look so high, but in our experience, a fall could badly injure or even kill an employee. We also want to protect any costs to your company if someone gets hurt on your premises. It could shut down a loading area while it’s being investigated and stop any new shipments from being dispatched.

A terrible accident for the driver and a revenue loss – or worse – for your business.

Our flatbed fall protection system

Flatbed trailers are versatile and can handle a wide variety of oversized and uniquely shaped materials easily. Unfortunately, due to the open nature of a flatbed many of these items need to be tarped to protect them from the elements as they travel to your customer. Experience shows that unprotected flatbed trailers create a serious fall hazard for the operator.

That’s why we have developed our Flatbed Fall Protection and Access Platforms to create a ‘sandwich (protection solution)’ around the truck to give the driver or other operators access to all areas of the flatbed trailer without exposure to a fall.

Our flatbed truck trailer fall protection systems are available with end stairs and swing gates to prevent the unit from being used until the platforms are in position. Manual or power-operated systems…optional push button operation begins the process and sounds an alarm to alert others in the area that the unit is moving. The pressure-sensitive plates on each platform then prevent gapping and damage to the truck, while allowing for slight misspotting. Once the unit is locked into place, the swing gates can be operated and the tarping can begin with easy access and reduce fall hazards.

The Carbis Way: Protecting Your Bottom Line

Drivers must ensure their truck is road-ready and its load stays secure. Loading is a tough job—falls are all too common and can be deadly. Slipping off a flatbed trailer might mean broken bones, head injuries, or worse, and stats show falls are a top cause of workplace deaths.

OSHA requires fall protection for workers above four feet. As an employer, you could be on the hook for drivers and operators at your site, even if they’re not your staff. That means fall protection matters to your profits making solid fall protection a must, not just for safety but for your bottom line, avoiding lawsuits, fines, and downtime. Carbis offers flatbed fall protection platforms built to OSHA standards, keeping your facility safe and your business running smoothly.
