Cement safety cage, SafLok – and G-4 series gangway
Cement hatch station for closing hatch on cement trucks after loading.

SafeRack’s patent-pending SafeLok locking mechanism gives you full control over your SafeRack gangway’s range of motion. The G4 Gangway/Cage Lock-down Assembly keeps your equipment where it should be — and your operators safe.
Safety is locked in. For operators in the field, it’s becoming a common practice to raise and reposition gangways from the top of railcars or trucks when the hatch interferes. This extremely dangerous habit has increased the risk of operator falls.
With the SafeRack’s Gangway/Cage Lock-down Assembly, your gangway stays securely in place at all times. Only when the operator returns to the platform can they release the lock, keeping the gangway from being raised until they’re safely out of the work area.
SafeRack designs, builds and installs safe, ergonomic, and efficient loading platform gangways for small and large facilities globally. Backed by years of experience and a hands-on, collaborative approach, the patented solutions are delivered on time, every time. And, just as important, they come within budget and without hassles.
Call for an on-site visit to make sure you get the railcar gangways, truck gangways, or marine gangways that fit and work as you expect. SafeRack representatives visit your site and help with complex retrofits or new greenfield applications.
