Easy to operate

Kanon Folding Stairs create a secure and adaptable connection between loading platforms and road or rail tankers. They are designed for single-operator use, they incorporate a spring-balanced mechanism, allowing for smooth folding and unfolding. The stairs can be adjusted to tanker height, ensuring stable access during loading, unloading, or inspections. Key Features include:

Adjustable Height: Adapts to tanker height for seamless access
Durable Construction: Engineered to withstand demanding environments
Multiple Models: Available in 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6-step configurations to fit different needs
Standard Handrails: Installed to maximize operator safety and stability

Built for Safety

Kanon Folding Stairs are not only durable and easy to use but also incorporate corrosion-resistant materials and precision-balanced mechanics for long-lasting performance. By prioritizing seamless operation and a secure connection to tankers, we ensure that safety and efficiency go hand in hand.

Key Specifications:

Vertical locking device for secure positioning
Non-slip, self-levelling steps to maintain stability at all times
Partly movable second step to prevent trapped feet
Fully balanced cylinder with an integral safe design for smooth operation
Rubber bumper on the last step to protect against tanker damage and static discharge
Handrails with smooth edges, mounted on nylon bearings for seamless movement

Customization and Options

At Kanon, we understand that each operation has unique requirements. That is why we offer various customization options to tailor your Folding Stairs to your specific needs:

Operating Systems: Choose from manual, pneumatic, hydro-pneumatic, or hydro-electric operation
Finishing Options: Hot-dip galvanized or painted finishes available in client-specific colors
Additional Accessories: Enhance safety with safety wings, access gates, and interlock systems

For maximum security, Folding Stairs can be combined with Safety Cages or Elevating Platforms. These additions provide a secure working environment, significantly reducing risks associated with elevated operations.

Safety cages

Kanon’s Folding Stairs combined with Safety Cages allow operators to access the tops of tankers without the risk of slipping or falling. Available in multiple configurations—such as double railing, V-shaped railing, or movable inner fences—they adapt effortlessly to different tanker sizes and shapes.

Customizable sizes from 1400 x 1400 mm up to 2000 x 13000 mm for full adaptability
Lightweight aluminum ensures easy handling (steel options available for smaller cages)
Movable fences enhance flexibility and allow closer positioning
Lengths up to 13 meters provide full tanker coverage

Loading Platform

To provide a complete and secure loading solution, Kanon also offers loading platforms that work in combination with Folding Stairs. This integration allows operators to safely and efficiently access the tops of tank trucks from ground level, minimizing risks.

The loading platform can be configured to support up to four loading arms, and folding stairs can be positioned on all sides. Furthermore, operators can safely load from either side, making the system more versatile and convenient.

Adaptable Elevating Platform

The ‘Flip-Up-Floor’ Elevating Platform provides a safe and efficient way to access road and rail tankers—eliminating the need to walk on top of the tank. Instead, operators work from a secure, fenced platform with hatches that open for controlled access to the manhole.

The platform is hydraulically operated and can be adjusted to the tankers height and incline. To enhance safety, the flip-up floor panels can be easily secured. Available in galvanized or painted finishes, this durable design ensures long-term protection and reliability.

Flex Cage: Precision and Safety

Kanon’s Flex Cage is our latest innovation in safety equipment. This electronically driven safety cage enhances operator protection with unmatched precision. By restricting the operating space to the exact location on top of the tanker, the system adapts seamlessly to the tanker’s incline while moving laterally as needed.

Whether used independently or in combination with our Elevating Platform, the Flex Cage ensures that your operators can perform their tasks in the safest and most efficient way possible.

Your Safety Is Our Priority

From petrochemicals to food and beverage, Kanon’s safety equipment is designed to handle hazardous, corrosive, and cryogenic materials with complete confidence. Built to withstand extreme conditions and tailored to meet your specific needs, our solutions guarantee safety, durability, and low maintenance.
