S&S Technical supplies GREEN access and fall-protection equipment for railcar loading and unloading. Rail spotting is rarely exact, so the right answer usually depends on how much longitudinal and lateral movement the access point has to absorb. We help you work that out and quote the equipment to suit.
Which solution fits?
- Multiple cars, spotted along a track. An elevated platform running the length of the spur, with gangways dropping to each car.
- A single car, one position. A pedestal platform with a gangway reaching the hatch.
- Spotting varies car to car. A horizontal lifeline gives continuous protected movement along the walkway rather than fixed tie-off points.
- Occasional or seasonal unloading. A portable access platform avoids a permanent structure on a track you do not use every week.

What decides the specification
- Number of cars worked at once, and the spur length
- How precisely cars can be spotted
- Car type and hatch height above rail
- Whether access is needed on one side or both
- Whether a safety cage is required at the hatch
- Clearance envelope and any adjacent structures
