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

★★★★★

Cost effective, great appearance, easy to assemble. 1. Cost effective for large area need where design would require structures needed vs. contractor building on site 2. Appearance and design is already safety-oriented to meet code 3. Structure is made to accommodate ease of assembly and access without fatal redesign cost, with prompt delivery and no issues.

★★★★

The wrench was delivered in 1 week. The wrench was delivered in 1 week. We use the tool for tightening lags. Because of the height of the tool, it allows the user to be able to stand in more of an upright position as opposed to having to bend. This will help promote better posture and eliminate back strain.

★★★★★

Kudos to SafeRack! Mark Gardner handled the sale well. The gangway foot lock pedal's design gave more peace of mind to the operators and will save time every time the gangways are operated. Kudos to SafeRack for taking the time to design the pedal and get it right.

By Chris G. from Conoco Phillips

★★★★★

Very responsive and informative. Quick and friendly service. We choose SafeRack to keep our employees safe, keep our customers (truck drivers) safe and for the OEM parts (which fit perfectly). Prompt response to my request for replacement parts. Very courteous and helpful when communicating over the phone and via email. There were no obstacles at all. Very smooth transaction.

★★★★

The product was delivered sooner than expected. The product was delivered sooner than expected. The improved structure feature was one of the draws to this product. Sturdy, well built and safe. SafeRack understands that you should have the ability to replace broken parts without being forced to buy a whole new unit.

By Gary T. from NABS

★★★★

These are the best retrofit safety gates that I have ever seen. The experience with SafeRack was helpful and easy and the product is of very good quality and easy to install. Chris Hite was very responsive and kept us informed of delivery date. As for the gates, these are the best retrofit safety gates that I have seen. The thought process to make them fit virtually any application is excellent. I like the bright yellow color and the versatility of which way the opened; the ease of setting tension. They were easy to assemble and install. I would recommend them because of the ease of installation and assembly.
