RoadwarrioR Platform System™

Quick, efficient side-door access is critical to your delivery operations. Inefficient access, downstacking and staging options can reduce productivity and endanger your drivers. That's why R·O·M has introduced the RoadwarrioR Platform for new and retrofit applications. And here's why your fleet should employ our system:

• The Platform is safe
  
  Face it ... your current side-door access options are limited. The alternatives include drivers having to climb steep, narrow steps in the elements; stand on a narrow platform to pick boxes; or hang off the side of a trailer to get the day's first delivery that's stacked to the ceiling and the door's edge. The Platform offers the same aggressive-traction walk surface as the industry leading RoadwarrioR and SidekicK safety walkramps from R·O·M, reducing injuries from slips and falls.
• The Platform is self-cleaning
  
  Open gratings across the Platform floor prevents the build-up of snow, ice, mud, produce and other debris, ensuring superior traction in all conditions.
• The Platform is driver friendly
  
  The weight of each plank in the two-piece Platform floor varies slightly depending on the Platform size. Maximum weight on the largest Platform is 27 pounds per plank, which is less than many of the boxes drivers offload all day. The support legs for the floor slide out from the trailer frame, so they don't have to be lifted by the driver at all. Set-up for the entire Platform takes only about three minutes, and take down even less than that.
• The RoadwarrioR Platform saves you money
  
  With our Platform, you may be able to eliminate the need for teams to deliver product. The industry's largest staging area allows one driver to be able to downstack, stage and offload product ... from the first stop of the day to the final delivery. Even if you don't use teams, the time savings of only having to handle the product once (pick the box, stack the hand truck, and go) saves valuable time on each delivery.
• The Platform is rugged
  
  With a rated capacity up to 2000 pounds, the Platform easily handles a driver, loaded hand truck and any product staged on the Platform surface.
• The Platform is protected from the elements
  
  When stowed in its enclosed carrier for transport, the Platform is completely protected from snow, mud, ice and road debris. In addition, spilled product is not introduced to the floor cavity of the trailer as it is when a slide-out platform is slid back into the trailer.
• The Platform increases productivity
  
  Quick set-up, sure-footed traction and the industry's largest walk surface ensure that a single driver can safely and efficiently offload product at each stop during the day.
• The Platform can be used at the king pin location
  
  Because our Platform does not self-store below the trailer (it is in a separate enclosed carrier mounted transversely under the trailer) ours is the only platform that can be used at the king pin location ... where the heaviest product is stored in the frozen compartment.
• The Platform allows the ramp to parallel the trailer
  
  Alley ways, congested parking lots and busy city streets pose unique challenges for food transporters. The Platform is constructed to easily receive a RoadwarrioR or SidekicK ramp, which parallels the trailer toward the front or rear of the trailer.
• The Platform self-levels with the trailer floor
  
  No more long drops from the trailer to the Platform. Rising girders from the Platform's supports ensure that the floor rests level with the trailer deck, providing a smooth transition for the hand truck and driver.
• The Platform is unaffected by surrounding terrain
  
  While ladders and other side-door access options use the ground for support, the Platform gains all of its support from the trailer itself. Supports are mounted on the trailer and slide in and out for easy Platform set-up and stowing. That means no ladder, steps or legs supported by the ground are needed, which can be affected by uneven parking lots or rocky ground.
