摘要:
A locking device and apparatus is disclosed. The locking device is particularly suitable for use in combination with a device such as a track mounted gangway and safety cage to reduce the ability to reposition the gangway and safety cage along a track surface while in the lowered access position. The locking device preferably includes a lever assembly and a pivot assembly having a friction pad connected to the lever assembly. When the lever assembly and/or gangway device is adjusted in a first direction, the friction pad applies pressure on the track surface and moveability between the gangway and the track surface is reduced.

A loading arm that transfers flowing bulk material from a storage vessel and into a transport tank through a top hatch of the transport tank that is carried on a truck or rail car for transport includes an articulating arm having a plurality of connected hollow pipes. A hatch cone is connected to the arm and defines a top member, a bottom member, an inner shell connecting the top and bottom members and an outer shell extending between the top and bottom members. The outer shell of the hatch cone defines a truncated conical wall that is formed by a resiliently flexible section configured to deform resiliently upon engaging with the top hatch of the transport tank.
摘要:
A safety enclosure for a platform comprises a support frame having a laterally extending inner portion, a laterally extending outer portion and a pair of transversely extending side portions defined at laterally opposing ends of the support frame. A handrail system extends laterally along the outer portion and transversely along the pair of side portions of the support frame. A floor portion extends laterally and transversely across the support frame and comprises at least one access panel. The access panel comprises a fixed end portion that is pivotally coupled to the support frame, and an opposing free end portion. A damper is coupled to the support frame and to the access panel so as to control a closure velocity of the access panel as it pivots from an open position to a closed position.

A cage for surrounding a section of a work area of the top of rolling stock includes an inboard side, an outboard side, a front end section and a back end section. The inboard side of the cage is attached to an associated deployment apparatus. Each of the two sides can define a pair of fence notches to slide over the rails surrounding the work area. Each of the two end sections can define an inboard notch and a center notch. Some embodiments of the end sections can define an outboard notch that includes a self-adjusting straddle. The cage can be provided as part of a portable fall protection device that includes a telescoping positioning mechanism.

A mobile fall protection unit can be maneuvered by hand and brought to a flatbed with readily deployable, temporary fences for worker fall protection. The mobile fall protection unit can include a chassis, which carries a frame, which in turn carries a ladder as well as selectively deployable fall protection devices for worker fall protection. The frame carries a pair of retractable fall barriers separated from each other by about the width of the back of the flatbed.
摘要:
Each of a pair of barrier platforms is carried by a pair of carrier stanchions, one disposed to each opposite side of a loading bay in a warehouse environment for a flatbed trailer carrying pallets that must be loaded and unloaded by forklift trucks. Each pair of carrier stanchions also supports a motor that can be operated to raise and to lower, as desired, one of the pair of barrier platforms that in the lowered position provides fall protection for the forklift trucks that service the flatbed trailer. Each barrier platform includes a forklift rub rail and carriages that are configured to cooperate with the carrier stanchions to resiliently absorb impacts from collisions with the forklift.
摘要:
An apparatus that provides a platform for selectively deployable worker access with fall protection to at least a portion of the top of a container disposed above the ground. The apparatus includes a gate and a ladder extension that selectively operates in an extended mode and a retracted mode with respect to the gate and with respect to an emergency egress ladder extending beneath the platform.
摘要:
A cage for surrounding a section of a work area of the top of rolling stock forms part of a portable fall protection device that includes a positioning mechanism capable of telescoping, folding and pivoting motions that are maneuvered by pneumatically-powered or hydraulically-powered apparatus. A gate, lock, pressure lines, valves and control devices are combined with the cage to ensure proper deployment of worker fall protection in this working environment.
摘要:
A sprung gangway that is counterbalanced to remain in a given degree of extension or retraction includes a lifting resistance device that includes a linear index rail that slides selectively into and out of a hollow sheath unless engaged by a locking paw that is pivotally mounted to the sheath via a pivot bar, which when pivoted by tugging on a release cord effects disengagement of the locking paw and thereby permits raising of the gangway from the lowered working orientation to a storage orientation.
摘要:
A system for guiding a driver of a tractor trailer truck entering a loading bay includes a display screen disposed on the driver side of the loading bay and angled to remain in continuous uninterrupted view of the driver as the truck is entering the loading bay. A front sensor is disposed to a first side of the loading bay, and a rear sensor spaced apart from the front sensor is disposed along the same side of the loading bay. A controller is connected electrically to the front sensor, the rear sensor, and the display screen. A camera has a field of view aimed between the front sensor and the rear sensor where the loading hatch of the transport tank will be disposed when the transport tank is aligned in the loading bay for taking on cargo.
