SafeRack for PetroChem
Act Before the Next Incident
Safety and Productivity. Engineered Together.
From truck and rail loading racks to dense process units and tank farms — modular, pre-engineered solutions that install quickly, comply with standards, and give crews confident access every day.
In PetroChem, every platform, gangway, and crossover touches safety, uptime, and regulatory compliance.
SafeRack helps refineries, terminals, bulk plants, and chemical processing facilities turn complex, high-risk operations into safer, more predictable ones. Engineered loading systems, modular access platforms, and integrated fall protection — designed around real-world process conditions, traffic patterns, and hazard profiles.
- Safety Built In
Fall protection, safety gates, and guardrails are integral parts of the system — not afterthoughts. - OSHA Compliance
Systems are engineered to current safety standards, so audits are straightforward.
- Faster Throughput
Clear, repeatable workflows reduce loading time, delays, and workarounds slowing operations. - Speeds installation or repair
while giving your team safer, more consistent access

SafeRack Product Solutions
Access Gangways
SafeRack’s gangways are trusted worldwide for providing secure, efficient access during loading and access operations.
The #1 Selling Gangway in North America
As a global leader in loading platform design and manufacturing, SafeRack delivers gangway systems that combine advanced safety features with unmatched ergonomic performance.
Self-Adjusting Stairs
Built to articulate and self-level, SafeRack’s SAS gangways are designed to accommodate varying heights of vehicles.
Flat Ramp Style
The SFR gangway is a flat ramp design with a slip-resistant surface. It is ideal for hopper cars and some trucks when the platform and vehicle heights are similar.
Attributes
Easily adjusts to different vehicle heights

FEED Studies
Front-End Engineering & Design
SafeRack’s FEED studies create a clear roadmap for safe, efficient access before construction begins. Engineering teams review loading profiles, vehicle and railcar types, tank and rack layouts, and existing structures to determine where platforms, gangways, crossovers, and stairs will have the greatest impact. Resolving conflicts on paper reduces change orders, compresses schedules, and avoids on-site surprises.
3D Modeling
Digital Layout Integration
PetroChem facilities are dense, constrained spaces — guessing is expensive. SafeRack’s 3D modeling places proposed platforms, stairs, gangways, and safety cages into a realistic model of your units and loading areas. Clearances, swing paths, headroom around pipe racks, and proximity to valves and instruments are all evaluated virtually before any steel is cut.
Turnkey Installation
Brownfield Integration & Commissioning
Most PetroChem projects happen in and around live operations. SafeRack’s modular structures are shipped labeled and ready for assembly. Bolt-together construction minimizes onsite cutting and welding — especially important near hazardous areas. Field-aware detailing and white-glove coordination help fit new access into crowded pipe racks, existing steel, and tight clearances.
Lifecycle Support
Maintenance, Audits & Long-Term Upgrades
As PetroChem facilities age, processes shift, and standards evolve, access and safety infrastructure must keep up. SafeRack’s lifecycle maintenance, safety audits, and upgrade programs provide a structured way to keep platforms, stairs, racks, and fall protection aligned with current operations. The same partner that designs and delivers your system today will still be available years from now.
Safety Walks
Our experienced safety specialists conduct complimentary on-site safety walks to assess potential risks, compliance gaps, and workflow inefficiencies.
- OSHA, MSHA, ANSI, and SPCC Compliance
- Evaluate workplace safety and Identify potential hazards
- Actionable safety recommendations
- Gain valuable insights that prevent injury, costly mistakes, and fines.
