SafeRack’s 2025 Products and Services

As a global leader in loading platform design and manufacturing, SafeRack delivers gangway systems that combine advanced safety features with unmatched ergonomic performance.

Tracking Gangway

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
Self-Adjusting Stairs

Built to articulate and self-level, SafeRack’s gangways are designed to accommodate varying heights of vehicles. Trust in our team of experts can measure to determine which gangway size would best suit your needs.

What Customers Are Saying

★★★★

A better price than we had anticipated. I appreciated the way our representative, Sam Ham, provided information to us even before we requested it. Plus, along with the customer service, we received a better price than we had anticipated.

By Steve N. from ALSCO Industrial Products Inc.

★★★★★

After the design was complete it was delivered very quickly. I have nothing negative to say about the service I have received thus far. All the personnel I have dealt with thus far are pleasant, responsive and very knowledgeable. If we had not worked out a turnkey installation, I would have been forced to look elsewhere. After the design was complete it was delivered very quickly.

By Bret G. from Bunge North America (OPD West) Inc

★★★★★

You can not put a cost on quality. Your product wasn't the cheapest, but the quality, design, customer service and speed of delivery proves you can not always put a cost on quality and product.

By Linda B. from Florida Rock & Tank Lines, Inc.

★★★★★

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."

By Jerry H. from Batson-Cook Company

★★★★★

Great fit, quality materials and well-engineered design for strength. The original point of contact was unfamiliar with the product but had no problem getting us to the right person who was very knowledgeable and helpful. The product was the exact replacement with no modifications needed. It arrived before it was expected. Overall, great fit, quality materials and well-engineered design for strength.

★★★★★

The product is perfect. John Nance had great follow through during all steps: sales to delivery. The gangway is strong, easy to install (1 part), and simple to use. The product is perfect.
