Track Mounted Gangways
Not all railcars, trucks, or cargo vessels are made the same.
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
Retractalok Power Assist
Simple & Safe to Lift or Lower
Retractalok power assist eliminates heavy lifting while also addressing gangway springs failure by removing the springs altogether.

By Ivan T. from Crop Protection Services
The quality of workmanship is excellent. The product was delivered very fast and communication with my rep was very good. He made sure everything turned out well with my order. The quality of workmanship is excellent with SafeRack. Overall, my experience was positive including all aspects of the product and sale. That says a lot about the employees working for the company, which in turn says a lot about the quality of the company.
By Kevin R. from Momentive Performance Materials, Inc.
Your competition is not really comparable. SafeRack has the sales staff to support your product and it was easy and efficient to obtain information to help me secure a sale. Product was delivered on time as promised. All shipping information was given to prepare for pick up and delivery efficiently. I hope to work with SafeRack more closely to secure more business here in Quebec. Your competition is not really comparable, pricing may be lower but the quality is nothing like yours. I do not work with any other suppliers in this field. SafeRack is the only product we promote to our customers when the need is there.
By Jerry C. from Hi Tech Piping
Very Satisfied They are always on their game with helping with our everyday needs.
By Dale P. from Veolia American
I would recommend it to anyone looking for a safety gate. No negatives, all positive. Sales personnel was accurate, knowledgable and to the point. The product worked great and the price was reasonable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a safety gate. It was installed by our own staff, easily and quickly, without any mishaps. We have a stringent safety program at our large company, with many locations, and I will recommend the use of this product where needed.
By Mitch T. from Old Castle Retail
All positive experiences! Even my customer agreed! My salesman Joe Free was fantastic, he was incredibly responsive & was very honest with me when it came to what my customer really needed for their application. As I could not be there for the on-site visit – my customer was drawn to a new unit from SafeRack as they already had a unit they were using & liked, recommended by their safety manager, lead times were short & installation is easy!
