Randall Access introduced its Elevated Platform that provides drivers with significantly improved side door delivery, the company stated. This platform deploys in less than 15 seconds and elevates to the trailer floor—without the use of a transition plate—providing full use of the expansive 48-in. by 52-in. surface area. The large, usable platform space has dual purposes: a first stop loading position, enabling the trailer to be fully cubed; and a large surface area to safely transition heavy loads from the platform to the walkramp. In addition, the Elevated Platform has been engineered to provide drivers with the flexibility of positioning the walkramp on the platform either parallel or perpendicular to the trailer. This enables efficient side door delivery and the ability to fully cube the trailer. The end result is increased productivity and safety as well as increased revenue potential per trailer, said Randall Access.
“We’re excited to formally move the Elevated Platform from concept to market-ready,” said Fred Jevaney, president of Randall Manufacturing and Randall Access. “As consumers demand more fresh and frozen foods, food distributors are taking a new look at side door delivery because side door delivery is essential to effectively commingling fresh, frozen and dry goods on one trailer. The delivery world is changing and the Elevated Platform has been engineered to provide drivers with the safest, fastest and most flexible form of delivery today.”
According to Randall Access, Elevated Platform also features the following:
- The Randall Elevated Platform can be used as a first stop safety zone enabling the trailer to be fully cubed—leading to increased revenue potential per trailer;
- The Randall Elevated Platform allows for a walkramp to be positioned either parallel or perpendicular to the trailer;
- The Randall Elevated Platform’s enclosure is constructed of G90 galvanized steel for added corrosion resistance.
“Randall Access products have demonstrated that highly engineered, innovative products like the Elevated Platform can have a tremendous impact on drivers and their organizations,” said Jevaney. “We will continue to listen to the market and work alongside drivers to understand their challenges and bring new thinking to the delivery world.”
