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.
