Because we want our products to work for our customers, we designed LowTank in conjunction with major ISO tank operators. So, it incorporates the benefits of easy-to-use access steps and a fall prevention cage. Accordingly, it’s ideal for climbing onto the back of an ISO tank to access the bottom tank connection valve. As well as to connect loading and discharge equipment, such as hoses and loading arms. One person can operate it easily due to its high portability. Therefore, as you would expect, it meets all the latest Work at Height Regulations.
LowTank has an integral three-rail safety cage that provides a safe working area while on the truck bed, thereby helping to prevent falls from height, associated with ISO tank operations. As well as this, other safety features include step handrails, castor wheels fitted with foot brakes and anti-slip stair treads. The equipment is designed for durability, with a zinc paint undercoat, as well as a high gloss paint finish, designed to last in the toughest outdoor location. Plus, here are some more features and benefits:
Fall prevention safety cage provides safe working area for operators
Lightweight and strong cage design ensures operator confidence
Spring loaded safety gate prevents tripping back down the stairs
Easily manoeuvrable by single operator
Extra wide stairs make carrying hoses or specialist PPE easy
Stairs have full handrail for additional support
Large solid rubber tyres, therefore providing excellent stability
Rear caster foot brakes for positive parking position
Safety clip carabiner cords and cables attach cage to ISO tank frame for added security
When used correctly meets all health & safety requirements for operator safety whilst working at height
No special tools required for site assembly

We recently completed a job for IG Doors, a door manufacturer supplying a range of markets with innovative and secure entry solutions. The company would have tankers on site, delivering paint/ chemicals to coat their doors, every few months or so. Their loading/ unloading process involved manoeuvring their hose to the top of the tankers in order to access the product. They were using the inbuilt tanker ladder and handrails to access the tops of the tankers, with workers carrying the heavy hose up and down with them. IG Doors identified this as a risk to worker safety and approached IFC Inflow for a solution.
