Gangway Options
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
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.

Customer service, sales, engineering of the product and the quality was great. Delivery was good time-wise and price was less than the other gate openers I priced. I would recommend this product because it makes opening the hopper car gate safe.

Security and peace of mind. I dealt with Phyllis for my order and she was very courteous and knowledgable. She sent my quotes promptly and the order arrived promptly. We like the security and peace of mind in knowing that our product would be contained if something would happen, as well as having the drain for ease of clean up and transporting the product. We found that it was definitely worth the money that was spent.
