Safety Barricades and Safety Platforms
Product Features
Our Safety Barricades and Safety Platforms are designed to offer robust protection with easy installation and mobility.
These features include:
• Quick Latch System: Secures directly to the flatbed trailer, stays in place during loading and unloading, remains stable as the truck bed raises and lowers.
• Easily Moved and Stored: Stackable design saves space, only 1 to 2 team members needed to move and install, quick lead times, and precision quality.
• Wide Platforms (Safety Platforms only): Available in 18”, 24”, or 36” widths, allowing workers to walk alongside a fully loaded trailer without having to climb on the load itself.
Safety Barricades
The Safety Barricade system is the first line of defense in flatbed fall protection. It places a protective rail directly against the truck, allowing workers to be on the load without fear of falling off the flatbed truck or trailer. This innovative, OSHA-compliant product ensures robust protection with easy installation and mobility. Created to prevent accidents and ensure that every worker goes home safely, Safety Barricades™ provide a reliable solution for flatbed fall protection.
Safety Platforms
Safety Platforms take fall protection a step further by creating a stable walking platform. This system combines the protective benefits of a safety barricade with the added stability of a platform, allowing workers to walk alongside a fully loaded trailer without having to climb on the load itself. Available in 18”, 24”, or 36” widths, Safety Platforms can be customized to meet specific needs, providing enhanced safety and flexibility. Developed to address the critical need for safe working conditions, these platforms offer secure attachment and easy installation for efficient flatbed fall protection.
Flatbed Safety Solutions for any Industry
Prioritize Safety First
Loading and unloading trucks pose significant risks to employees working on flatbed trucks and trailers. Falls from any height can be hazardous, or even fatal. OSHA mandates that fall protection systems be provided for employees working at heights of four feet or more. This is critical not just for employee safety but also for legal compliance, as you may be liable for workers injured on your site, even if they don’t work for you. Falls account for a significant number of workplace injuries. Integrating Safety Barricades™ and Safety Platforms in your operations ensures that fall protection is a priority, significantly reducing the risk of accidents. Huntington Steel offers OSHA-compliant fall protection solutions that are essential for maintaining a safe and efficient work environment.
Both the Safety Barricades and Safety Platforms are designed to work seamlessly together, providing comprehensive fall protection solutions across various industries. Whether you’re in construction, logistics, or manufacturing, these products ensure the highest safety standards and operational efficiency. While Safety Platforms add a stable walking surface, they create additional depth that Safety Barricades™ do not have. Therefore, for optimal use, Safety Platforms are best used on one side of the truck, while Safety Barricades™ can be used on the opposite side to maintain balance and safety.
