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.

Every question I had, I received an answer within the same day. Every question I had, I received an answer within the same day. SafeRack worked closely with us to provide the correct product for our application. The durability of the load out, and the lightweight design even with stainless make this product great. We have more than three of these load-outs in our plant now, and they have been the most durable and easiest load-outs to work with, period.

★★★★★

Our alcohol shipping department was so impressed during the commissioning… Our alcohol shipping department was so impressed during the commissioning of our new product loadout they are requesting 3 more loading racks for our railcar access.

By Kirt H. from MGP Ingredients, Inc.

★★★★

Customer sales and field sales help is excellent, could not be more pleased. I would strongly recommend the SafeRack brand to anyone requiring safe means to unload railcars and tanker trucks. The systems are designed to be used in many different applications. I was able to get my railcar rack back in service in only a short period of time. It took longer for me to generate a purchase order than it took the parts to ship to me. Customer sales and field sales help is excellent, could not be more pleased. I've always gotten a quick response back with any question I might have. Good folks to work with!

Your range of products is very useful and high quality. Your range of products is very useful and high quality that is easy to use, easy to install and uninstall, and easy to transport because it can split to part by part. I would recommend your ErectAStep product because we can add more parts to change the configuration, height and width compared with other products.
