  • Durability & Reliability – Built to withstand heavy industrial use
  
  
  
  

SafeRack Gangways: Secure & Efficient Railcar Access

The facility will feature three SafeRack gangways, designed to provide safe and reliable access for railcar loading and unloading. These gangways offer:

• Self-Leveling & Adjustable Fit – Accommodates different railcar heights


• Slip-Resistant Walk Surface – Reduces fall risks in all weather conditions


• Durable, Heavy-Duty Materials – Engineered for long-term reliability

SafeRack gangways are a proven industry standard, offering smooth operation, easy deployment, and minimal maintenance for rail loading terminals.

Rail Safety Cages: Fall Protection for Railcar Crash Boxes

This installation includes two rail safety cages, specifically designed to protect workers accessing railcars with crash boxes. These cages provide:

• Full Perimeter Fall Protection – Encloses the work area for maximum safety


• Custom Fit for Railcar Crash Boxes – Ensures complete coverage and protection


• Heavy-Duty Construction – Built to endure demanding rail operations

Rail safety cages minimize fall hazards, ensuring compliance with safety regulations while keeping workers secure.

Spill Containment Track Pans: EPA-Compliant Protection

To prevent environmental contamination, the facility is also installing spill containment track pans beneath each loading spot. These modular containment systems:

• Capture Leaks & Spills – Prevents hazardous materials from reaching the ground


• Meet EPA SPCC Regulations – Designed for compliance with federal environmental safety standards


• Feature High-Strength, Corrosion-Resistant Materials – Engineered for long-term durability


• Include Integrated Drainage & Collection Systems – Allows for easy fluid management and removal

These track pans ensure that railcar loading operations remain environmentally responsible and prevent costly cleanup efforts.
