Loading Gangways
Safe and Efficient Access for Tanker Trucks, Railcars & Barges
SafeRack’s 24″ self-adjusting access gangways are engineered for safe access to varying-height tankers transporting crude oil, refined fuels, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and petrochemicals. Made from marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel, these gangways offer corrosion-resistant performance in harsh environments. Hydraulic and pneumatic-powered gangway options are also available for high-throughput operations.
Each gangway includes a four-rail safety cage that creates a secure 4’x6′ barrier around tanker hatches, preventing falls during loading and unloading. These systems integrate seamlessly with loading arms and fall protection equipment, ensuring operator safety and regulatory compliance.
- Power-assisted options for easier operation and higher efficiency
- Self-adjusting design for safe access to varying vehicle heights
- Durable materials resist corrosion in harsh chemical environments
GX SELF-ADJUSTING STAIR (SAS) GANGWAY
Effortless Operation with Retractalok Power-Assist Technology
SafeRack’s GX SAS gangway features Retractalok power-assist technology, making it lightweight to operate while remaining incredibly stable during use. Designed for high-volume energy terminals, this gangway is built to withstand constant use in oil, gas, and petrochemical facilities.
Available in multiple lengths and widths, the GX SAS gangway is perfect for facilities needing safe and efficient access to a variety of tank trucks and railcars.
