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

★★★★★

SafeRack came through! We had to do some gap filling on the ramp for our railcar fall protection unit. Your competitors could not supply the necessary products in time, but SafeRack came through with the add-ons……in time! Delivery time was as expected. Stephen Todd is always on top of things, keeping me informed. His communication throughout the project was excellent. We would recommend SafeRack because they supply good products.

★★★★★

Very fast delivery and good quality product. Spot on, responded to my email right away. Very fast delivery and good quality product.

By Rene C. from Tetra Technologies Inc

★★★★

Significantly more robust than the competition's. Travis usually go back to me within a day if he didn't answer his phone immediately. I like the stamped steps as opposed to welded steps. The gangway latch is significantly more robust than the competition's. The pivot points on the gangway have bushings, this is where we've seen the majority of our issues.

★★★★★

Sales person was very responsive and our replacement parts shipped immediately I bought a spare spring for one of my SafeRacks and was able to give a serial number of my unit and knew that I was getting the correct part for it.

★★★★★

I can always depend on a great product from SafeRack. Your SafeRack equipment has provided a better, safer and more cost effective alternative for our employees while conducting tanker truck inspections. TO PREVENT A FALL IS PRICELESS. I can always depend on a great product from SafeRack.
