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.

I have always experienced a positive outcome. I have purchased multiple products from SafeRack in the past and have always had good results. I was the first one within our company that made the switch from Carbis and many of our locations have followed suit. I have a lot of confidence in the SafeRack line of products and have always experienced a positive outcome. Ray Evans is very customer-oriented and is always very responsive in answering any questions or concerns. I have been recommending SafeRack for years. The SafeRack products that I have used are superior to the competition.

★★★★★

The quick delivery cannot be beat. All of my experiences with this purchase were positive. Travis McCraine was very responsive and ensured I had what I needed. The delivery was very quick and the product is exactly what I expected. The feature I liked most is the flexibility of this loading system. It's adaptive to many different truck heights, and the SafeRack team made this purchase very easy and the quick delivery cannot be beat.
