Gangway Options
Track Mounted Gangways
Not all railcars, trucks, or cargo vessels are made the same.
Track-mounted gangways are designed to address the variability in port and compartment spacing on railcars, trucks, and vessels. These gangways slide horizontally, allowing operators to access multiple hatches or vehicles efficiently from a single platform. They feature folding stairs with safety cages, which can be positioned along a fixed track, and support multiple workers simultaneously.
- Wing panels that move with gangways
- Can be retrofitted to existing loading racks
- Tracking carriages designed for easy tracking
- No need to re-spot trucks
- Reliable, durable, and corrosion resistant
SavkoLock Mechanical Safety Lockdown
Engineered for the toughest conditions, even in the coldest environments
SavkoLock automatically locks your gangway in the lowered (deployed) position once it rests on the vehicle. While the gangway is locked down, it cannot be lifted, shifted, or adjusted—keeping the safety cage securely in place over the worker.

What Customers Are Saying
We love it when our vendors make sure that what we want is exactly what is need. Cost is always a consideration. We look for alternatives, but the quality of your products and the service balances the scales. We received exactly what we ordered. SafeRack also assisted in making sure we knew what was needed and asked questions we had not taken into consideration. SafeRack actually is better at making sure we know what is needed when we only request a product. It is appreciated when the vendor makes sure what we want is exactly what is needed.

I couldn't have asked for better service. Mark Gardner and Robbie Norris emailed and phone me throughout the process to ensure our company got exactly what we needed. I couldn't have asked for any better service from our first quote to the delivery of the product. I will always look to SafeRack for any product that we may need.

This product is super easy to install. My gangway was delivered in the 3 weeks that was quoted to me and I was kept well informed of when it shipped and was expected to be here. This product is super easy to install. When one becomes damaged, it takes a few people and a little time and bam, business as usual. Dana Hamor was awesome. She always gets in touch with me very quickly. I always feel like I am her only customer. I am buying a superior product at a great price and getting the best customer service. I would recommend this G-4 gangway to anyone interested. You could tie my hands behind my back and I would peck at my keyboard with my nose to order one. The customer service is top notch and the product is very well made. I am buying a superior product at a great price and getting the best customer service. Every experience with SafeRack has been wonderful. From the time I ask for a quote until I receive the product, I feel as though everyone there has a hand in the process. I am very skeptical when switching to a new company for anything but since I met with SafeRack several years ago, I knew they were a great company but it wasn't until after we bought our first gangway that I found out just how great they really are. Thank you to everyone there.
By Pascal G. from Lone Star Industries
Very helpful and responsive. I had a very good experience with the SafeRack customer service, sales and engineering teams. They were all very helpful and responsive to all my questions and concerns. We like the high temperature capability feature of the swivel product.
