Mid Rails and Toe Boards installed on a tank car platform

Provide Protection For Your Workers


Tank car platforms provide workers with access to the top of the car for loading, unloading, and inspection, but without proper enclosure, they present a serious fall hazard.

Stucki’s Midrails and Toe Boards are engineered to retrofit existing tank car platforms with no welding required, delivering a high-quality, custom-designed safety upgrade that meets Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) requirements. Whether your fleet lacks fall protection entirely or needs modernization to stay compliant, Stucki’s bolt-on midrail and toe board systems give your workers the protection they need and give your operation the confidence of FRA-compliant safety appliances.
