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.

The product meets our needs off-the-shelf."" The product had modular features that allowed us to customize and meet the needs of our unique project. Products from other companies that we researched would not meet our needs in this off-the-shelf" manner. Delivery was fast! We placed the order on Thursday and we received it Monday. Our sales rep, Chris Hite, responded to our emails almost immediately."
