A foldable rail assembly includes a lower rail assembly extending upwardly away from a platform, an upper rail assembly extending above the lower rail assembly, a rotatable member coupling the upper rail assembly to the lower rail assembly such that the upper rail assembly is movable between a first position and a second position, and a first latch and a second latch configured to limit movement of the upper rail assembly away from the second position when engaged. In the first position, the foldable rail assembly extends from the platform to a first height. In the second position, the foldable rail assembly extends from the platform to a second height, the first height being larger than the second height. The first latch engages in response to the upper rail assembly entering the second position. The second latch is manually engaged by an operator.
