Goldline International, Inc. was founded in 1973 due to a very serious need in the Petro-chemical Industry to solve safety problems for personnel accessing: Tank Trucks, Rail Tank Cars and Barges. In those days, before OSHA, our equipment was designed and manufactured according to ANSI, AWS and Petro-chemical Industry standards. Personnel safety has always been the main issue and still is today. When OSHA was instituted in 1975, Goldline International had to make very little change in our loading rack and Safe-walk designs because OSHA is based primarily on ANSI. So we were the first in our industry to furnish products that conformed to OSHAs standards. Goldline was and still is the leader in our industry. For example, we were the first manufacturer to put safety cages on our Safe-walk Units and Grab Rails on our Canopy Racks, even before OSHA mandated it. Goldlines basic philosophy is and always has been to furnish its customers with the best equipment that is needed to do a safe job. All equipment we have manufactured was designed to solve a safety problem that existed. Most of the basic access safety equipment that is common now was first designed by Goldline. Our concept of designing has always been first to solve the safety problem, making certain the product will do the job safely, and then quote the project. From the very beginning, we decided to design and manufacture the best access safety products in our industry, and we have, since 1973.
