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.

By James G. from London Hospital Linen Service
Safety, reliability and robust construction Louis Schuckman took all the time required to ensure that my platform was exactly what I needed. I went with SafeRack because of reputation, not price. I have had a bad experience with other vendors changing price without notice. SafeRack stayed firm on their original estimate. Safety, reliability and robust construction are all factors that would cause me to highly recommend SafeRack to my colleagues and outside associates. As a matter of fact, I already have.
By Roy W. from Solvay USA Inc.
Surpassed expectations. Our third purchase of your product and all have surpassed expectations…
By Bill M. from POET Biorefining
Quick service and the parts fit exactly. Quick response and detailed in his knowledge of the parts. We were able to repair our lifting gang steps and return them back to operations. Great customer service and great product.
By Kyle B. from International Paper Company
We prefer to use SafeRack than a solution that doesn't last and is not certified. We prefer to use normalized equipment with an expert like SafeRack, than some patch up solution that doesn't survive time and is not certified. Plus, our SafeRack representative, John Nance, took care to keep us informed of the project status every step of the way.
