Beautifull unit. Do the guy on the top of the hopper use any safety device to protect him from falling? Here we use a steel outstreched over the tracks where the employees can attach the safety belt.

Pedro - If you look close, he is wearing a safety harness with a tether. I've seen this done at the lumber mill loading tracks too.

Photo 5 shows the safety track, over reaching and is probably about what Pedro sees in his area.

Hi
Yes he has a cable attached to him that is attached to an overhead steel frame that lets the cable slide along as he walks the top of the cars
