Loading racks come in various sizes including 10' 6", 12', or 15' 9" tall, with platform sizes of 3' x 5' or 4' x 6' and for a number of different applications. Single hatch tank truck loading racks can accommodate truck inspections, venting hatches, single hatch loading, and hose connection hookups. Loading racks can be coordinated with piping and loading arms, pneumatic packages to raise and lower the gangway, transfer augers and canopies. Additionally, loading platforms can be customized to fit the needs of any size tank truck.

Truck loading racks come with a fall prevention safety cage, gangway, and adjustable springs to help raise and lower units with minimal effort. Each platform ships as a 9-piece kit that bolts together, and is built to withstand years of abuse. Shipping is super fast and in many cases items are in stock and are shipped out the same day the order is placed.

Everything SafeRack sells seems to be constructed of the highest quality materials that ensures that everything operates dependably for years. Their engineering advancements have reduced the seams in each component for fewer welds and greater strength. The robotic and laser manufacturing techniques used builds each part to tight tolerances and perfect welds, every time.

What a Huge Time Saver!

2011-10-27T06:09:00.000-07:00

Having just researched in-depth building our own racking system including safety platforms I’m happy to say we settled on a local company. Much to our surprise, with just four components they had in stock, Erectastep was able to sell us what we needed to make our production facility and warehouse 100% accessible. We were pretty pleased with that as it turned out to be a huge time saver. A few of our applications required both stairs and a platform configuration. They had everything we needed to get the job done safely.

With a large assortment of aluminum staircases and safety platforms we were able to make unlimited configurations. The components also consisted of industrial handrails, universal work platforms, aluminum stairs, industrial ladders and tower platform supports.

They make a universal 3' x 3' platform that is infinitely expandable due to the common bolt hole pattern they use. The bolt holes allow stairs, ladders, handrails and other platforms to be attached to any side — quick and easy.

Safety platforms allow for travel over and around areas similar to assembly lines. The Mezzanine Access Platform systems allow access within a confined space to a mezzanine level of a warehouse. The Stair Tower Access system allows specific access to parts such as valves or filters that require repeated access.

Las Vegas destination weddings

2011-06-23T12:24:00.000-07:00

I went to the neatest wedding two weeks ago. It was a pretty cool ceremony held at the Grand Canyon. My buddy found this place online that offered Las Vegas destination weddings. He told his girlfriend and it was all she talked about for months beforehand! She liked that they had all these different wedding packages and destinations to choose from but in the end it was my buddy's say on where they would tie the knot. She is pretty easy going and was fine with whatever he chose from their Las Vegas destination weddings. I think when it's my turn though I'm going to go with the helicopter package. Maybe they'll let us jump out after we say "I do".

Great Holden Beach North Carolina landscape designers

Holden Beach landscape maintenance

I have always wanted to have a picturesque small pond in my yard. Unfortunately we have never found a house for sale that matched the rest of our needs and included a small pond. And being on a strict budget, we have never felt that we could purchase one of the pre-made ponds and install it - especially considering that my sister, the landscape designer - told us that it was tricky to get one of these to actually work out as planned. For some reason, these pre-made ponds tend to leak.

One summer, several years ago, we got the proverbial 'wild hair' and decided to put some time and effort into creating our own inexpensive backyard pond. What we did was buy - on clearance, of course - a kiddie pool that had the hard plastic sides and the soft plastic bottom. The plastic sides were flexible, so we could get creative with the shape, and we only paid $12.00 for the pool. We got out our shovels and went to work.

We live in New Hampshire - the Granite State - so digging the proper hole took a lot of time and effort. There were rocks everywhere, and some of them were quite large! But we persevered, and soon had a natural shaped 4' x 6' hole. We shaped the pool into the hole, and then gave some thought to the plastic bottom. It was a heavy plastic, to be sure, but would it really stand the test of time? Would it even last a week? We decided that it probably would not, so we invested in ten dollars worth of concrete, and covered the bottom of the pool. Not only did this ensure that the bottom of the pool would be leak-proof, but the gray also looked more natural than the bright blue plastic. Before filling the pool with water, we gave the concrete a week to dry, just to be on the safe side.

In the meantime, we then used a bunch of the rocks that we had dug up - and a few more that we found around the yard - and stacked them along the walls of the pool, inside and out, giving it a natural look. So far so good.

The next step was to plant all kinds of perennials around the perimeter.

Once we felt confident that the concrete was really, really dry we took a deep breath and filled the pool. Success! It did not leak. We did try putting a fountain in the pond, but the one that we purchased was too powerful so we gave up on that idea.

The pond is absolutely lovely, now that the flowers and ivies have really taken hold, and we get no end of compliments on our landscaping efforts. We have even added some cheap goldfish that we take in each winter, and put back in the summer, and each year a couple of frogs find the pond and call it home for the summer. All in all - including the plants and the fish - we figure that our lovely backyard pond cost us less than one hundred dollars. We couldn't be happier with the results.
