The added value that clients receive from SafeRack makes their job easier. SafeRack simply makes a larger contribution to its clients’ operations.

The track mounted gangway slides horizontally to allow flexible precise spotting to access the top of the truck or railcar loading hatch. This solution is popular with multiple lengths of railcars and multi-compartment hatches on trucks where spotting may be difficult. The tracking gangway option allows operators to open swing gates anywhere along the track. Single or multiple gangways can be used on the same track based on your specific requirements.

Marine Access and Loading Solutions

Dock gangways (also known as a ship brow or accommodation ladder) are the last thing an operator comes into contact with before stepping onto a vessel and the first thing they come into contact with when going back to shore, so they need to be rugged and dependable, but most importantly, they need to be safe. SafeRack’s aluminum gangways for barge access and ship access deliver precisely that. SafeRack’s advanced; corrosion-resistant aluminum marine gangways are designed for OHSA-compliant worker safety, durability and reliability in marine environments and are built-to-order to client’s required length and specifications.
