Silobas trucks are widely used for the safe and environmentally friendly transportation of powder and granular materials such as cement, coal dust, limestone dust, gypsum, aluminum oxide, calcium carbonate, flour, and starch. These vehicles both isolate the materials from the external environment and make transportation safe.

The process of loading materials into silobas trucks is usually carried out through bellows located under the silos. However, before and after this process, the covers of the silobas vehicle must be opened and closed. This process requires personnel to climb on top of the silobas vehicle and manually open and close the covers.

The height of silobas trucks varies between 3.5 and 3.8 meters from the ground. This height exceeds the 1.5-meter limit, which is considered risky in terms of occupational safety. Although this risk is tried to be managed with measures such as the use of seat belts in most facilities, this method can slow down operations and create a situation open to personnel negligence. At this point, the Silobas Cover Opening and Closing Platform stands out as a solution that increases the safety of personnel and speeds up the process. The platform allows vehicle personnel to safely enter the vehicle and complete hatch opening and closing operations in a safe environment.
