We began in 1930 when our founder, Samuel Carbis, designed the first aluminum fire ladder. Since that time we’ve remained exclusively dedicated to designing, building and installing the equipment and structures that assure safe access and fall prevention for workers around the world. As a result, we are the global leader in customized bulk loading access equipment and turnkey systems for truck, rail, and marine applications across all industries.

Today we are proud to include thousands of businesses and institutions on our customer list, including most Fortune 1000 manufacturing companies. We are routinely relied upon to conduct safety audits for our customers and asked to serve in a unique consulting role. Our 45+ employee engineering department calls on the industry’s largest library of proven access and loading products and systems to custom-engineer the most practical, reliable, economical and productive solution for you.

We are also proud members of VPPPA and active on many industry standard-setting groups. This involvement is your assurance that we are always on top of best practices and all compliance requirements of OSHA, ANSI, MSHA, UBC, SBC, and others.
