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 Jerry H. from DuPont
Always a positive experience. Price is good. Outstanding delivery time. If it wasn't in stock for immediate delivery, I would have gone to another supplier. SafeRack had the item ready to go. My salesman John Nance is very efficient and responds almost immediately. This product improves safety for my staff, cutting down their time moving around the yard. This product is weather protected, with no maintenance, plus saves cost on designing, engineering and building in-house. Always a positive experience. Price is good.
