Supporting Gas Distribution, Pipeline Construction, Tank Services, and Midstream Projects

SafeRack provides safety and access solutions for pipeline loading and industrial operations, including gas distribution, pipeline construction and integrity, liquid pipelines, tank services, compressor stations, and midstream projects. Our systems help ensure safe, efficient work environments in these critical sectors.

With over 2 million miles of fuel pipelines in the United States—and many more transporting water, sewage, and other essential resources—facility layouts often create challenging and hazardous work areas. SafeRack’s crossovers, pipeline loading platforms, and fall protection systems provide secure access, helping teams navigate these environments safely and efficiently.

  • Secure Access Over Pipelines and Equipment – Modular crossovers and platforms improve worker mobility while providing safe access solutions for pipeline workers.
  • Enhanced Safety and Compliance – OSHA-compliant solutions reduce risk in hazardous areas, supporting pipeline worker fall prevention solutions and regulatory requirements.
  • Durable and Reconfigurable Systems – Built to withstand harsh environments and evolving site needs while maintaining safety in pipeline construction and maintenance operations.
  • Increased Efficiency in Pipeline Operations – Streamlines maintenance, inspections, and daily workflows while ensuring reliable access to critical infrastructure.

FAQ

How do SafeRack’s gangways improve safety during energy product loading and unloading?

SafeRack’s self-adjusting gangways provide safe, OSHA-compliant access to tank trucks, railcars, and barges transporting crude oil, natural gas liquids, and refined fuels. Equipped with four-rail safety cages and available in powered options, our gangways minimize fall risks and ensure safe, efficient loading and unloading in high-volume energy operations.

Can SafeRack’s loading arms handle corrosive and flammable materials?

Yes. SafeRack’s carbon steel loading arms are built to safely transfer a wide range of energy products, including crude oil, LNG, and petrochemicals. With PTFE-sealed swivel joints for chemical resistance and vapor recovery systems for EPA compliance, these arms are designed to withstand harsh environments while maintaining safety and efficiency.

How does SafeRack help prevent spills and environmental hazards at energy facilities?

SafeRack provides a range of spill containment solutions, including pans, berms, and wheel chocks, to capture leaks during the transfer of oil, gas, and petrochemicals. These systems help energy facilities stay compliant with EPA regulations while protecting workers and the environment from hazardous spills.

Why is grounding important in energy loading operations, and how does SafeRack help?

Grounding is critical in energy operations to prevent static discharge, which can ignite flammable vapors during the transfer of crude oil, LNG, and refined fuels. SafeRack’s grounding and bonding systems ensure a secure ground connection before product flow begins, reducing fire and explosion risks and maintaining compliance with OSHA and NFPA standards.

Can SafeRack customize safety platforms and access systems for energy facilities?

Absolutely. SafeRack offers customizable access solutions, including gangways, platforms, stairs, and fall protection systems, specifically designed for the complex needs of energy facilities. Our modular systems are built to withstand harsh environments while improving worker safety and operational efficiency.

What Customers Are Saying

★★★★★

I was very pleased with the service I received. I was very pleased with the service I received from Phyllis Sikes. She answered my questions right away, sending the proposal very fast and she called to double check if I received it. I was very impressed, and every time I call to inquire about a product or a proposal I will always ask for her .

By Rob D. from Kemira Water Solutions, Inc.

★★★★★

Sales person was very responsive and our replacement parts shipped immediately I bought a spare spring for one of my SafeRacks and was able to give a serial number of my unit and knew that I was getting the correct part for it.

By Jason W. from Chemtrade Logistics (U.S.), Inc

★★★★★

We now have a much superior and safer product. We could have built something out of scaffolding and made it work. By spending a little more money, we have a much superior and safer product.

By Roger C. from Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority

★★★★★

SafeRack is extremely customer-focused. Pat Early was extremely responsive and made sure that I was satisfied with the proposal. He knew the product line extremely well and could answer, on the fly, any question about what he represents. Lastly, he presented to the MWV employees information about the platform. This went very well and I got buy-in on new equipment. And it delivered surprisingly quickly. I was told that it would be a January 2011 delivery and I would miss out on the 2010 closing. However, the new platform was delivered the last week of December 2010. SafeRack is extremely customer-focused. This is refreshing.

By Theodore S. from Mead Westvaco

★★★★★

Ease of mobility. Safety. Multiple heights. Just used it today for the first time. Easy to use and set up. Makes getting to the top of tank wagons and iso-containers much easier.

By Mark H. from King Industries, Inc.

★★★★★

Very fast and exceeded the time frame. If we need something on a rush order, we know that SafeRack is quick at responding. We're happy as a customer.
