Track Mounted Gangways
Not all railcars are made the same.
Track-mounted gangways are designed to address the variability of railcar spacing or railcars with multiple hatches. Truck-mounted gangways slide horizontally, allowing operators to position the gangway for safety or to access multiple hatches from a single platform.
- Wing panels that move with gangways
- Can be retrofitted to existing loading racks
- Tracking carriages designed for easy tracking
- No need to re-spot railcars
- 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.

Your people are easy to work with. They were very helpful in getting us what we needed. They also made phone calls to reconfirm the order was right. Cost is right. Your people are easy to work with. Saves our insulated piping, safer for our personnel, easier access to our inner tanks. High quality, easy construction, and the finished product makes our tank farm look good.
By Valerie H. from CHS Inc.
Fast friendly service. Very responsive considering I was ordering it during the holiday season when a lot of folks are off work visiting family, etc.. Fast friendly service. On time delivery. Using this product only requires one man verses manual movements with two, plus it's safer and more ergonomic using it.
By Bob W. from Shell Lubricants
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.
