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.
