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

Retractalok power assist eliminates heavy lifting while also addressing gangway springs failure by removing the springs altogether.

What Customers Are Saying
Great company to work with. Great company to work with. Excellent sales force. Knowledgable staff.
By David C. from The Andersons, Inc.
We needed a replacement part and it was in stock and ready to ship Our metal gangway needed a replacement spring. SafeRack made sure we received it quick.
By Ray S. from Engineered Systems Inc
This product is super easy to install. My gangway was delivered in the 3 weeks that was quoted to me and I was kept well informed of when it shipped and was expected to be here. This product is super easy to install. When one becomes damaged, it takes a few people and a little time and bam, business as usual. Dana Hamor was awesome. She always gets in touch with me very quickly. I always feel like I am her only customer. I am buying a superior product at a great price and getting the best customer service. I would recommend this G-4 gangway to anyone interested. You could tie my hands behind my back and I would peck at my keyboard with my nose to order one. The customer service is top notch and the product is very well made. I am buying a superior product at a great price and getting the best customer service. Every experience with SafeRack has been wonderful. From the time I ask for a quote until I receive the product, I feel as though everyone there has a hand in the process. I am very skeptical when switching to a new company for anything but since I met with SafeRack several years ago, I knew they were a great company but it wasn't until after we bought our first gangway that I found out just how great they really are. Thank you to everyone there.
By Pascal G. from Lone Star Industries
Solid workmanship is what I like most. I had no obstacles since I'm a customer of SafeRack products since 2004, and would not buy any other brand. Chris Hite is a good guy. Shipment and tracking numbers were supplied by the office as well. As far as the gangway, the solid and well done workmanship – from the welds to the powder coat and moving parts – is what I like most.
By Jeramy H. from Lhoist North America
Everything was great. Your salesman was great in every way I needed him. SafeRack products are built to last. Your company believes in safety.
By Robert C. from International Paper – Rome
Simple, affordable, excellent product. Only positive experiences were encountered at every phase of communication and interface. Quality, delivery, exceptional value and a most satisfying product at an outstanding value. I had immediate response to my initial inquiry, then given the contacts with the factory and all parties that assisted with the questions raised. All of our needs were met with a simple, affordable, excellent product.
