Italian term or phrase: altezza sul piano del ferro
This is from a translation about a subway system:

Le stazioni presentano banchine lunghe XXXm, della larghezza utile di XXXm e con ***un’altezza sul piano del ferro*** di XXXm

I have an idea of what this means but need to confirm it.
Thanks all!
