FOLDING STAIRS WITH RETRACTABLE SAFETY CAGE
For gaining access to single-compartment tankers
Strengths and specificities
- No more space and handling restrictions: once the cage has been retracted, the space initially occupied by the deployed cage is clear
- Other handling operations at the top of the tanker (Big Bag positioning/removal, etc.) can be done while ensuring the safety at the top hatch beforehand
- A loading/unloading arm can also be positioned given that the space is now clear
