Truss-Type Gangways
SafeRack trusses are available in standard lengths starting at 14’8” with standard widths up to 96”. Truss depth varies on gangway length and capacity requirements. Truss-type gangway deckings can be fabricated from:
- Aliminum sheet
- Treadplate
- Open grating
- Extuded decking
Choose from four different cleat styles to improve your footing at steeper angels of operation. Rugged truss construction affords a standard distributed load capacity of 60 punds per square foot and can be custom constructed to accomodate higher load capacites.
Gangway Options & Accessories
Add-ons are available for added convenience and safety. Replace standard decking with slotted decking to help prevent accumulation of adverse weather such as snow and sleet. A partial list of options includes:
- Weather-proof canopies
- Slotted Decking
- Upper platforms
- Lower platforms
- Trestle ladders
- 1 or 2 inch bulbous cleats
- Shell rollers
- Lighting fixtures
- Flip plates
