Lift-A-Loft elevates transloading efficiency
Lift-A-Loft’s custom TMP16 truck-mounted lift is designed to meet the unique needs of rail applications.
The robust and versatile platform provides a flexible and efficient solution for a variety of tasks along railway lines, such as maintenance, inspection, and transloading, the company reported.
“We have built these for CSX subsidiary Transflo and other logistics and transloading operations as a product that enhances safety and expedites bulk product transfer and handling,” Braedon Stark-Abbott, Lift-A-Loft sales, marketing, and HR specialist, told Bulk Transporter.
The TMP16 lift comes equipped with a robust scissor lift mechanism for “impressive” reach and stability, Lift-A-Loft said. The platform can extend above and traverse over railcars while maintaining a stable working environment. Safety is a critical concern in rail applications, and the TMP16 addresses this with a secure design that includes safety railings and an overhead lanyard system to ensure workers are secure while performing tasks at height.
Other key advantages include mobility and flexibility. The truck-mounted construction allows for easy movement through rail yards and next to rail lines, enabling workers to quickly access different work sites. And the vehicle’s ability to operate on both road and near rail tracks enhances its versatility, making it a valuable asset for railway maintenance teams.
The TMP16 also features intuitive controls, allowing operators to precisely position the platform, reducing training time and improving overall job efficiency.
