Gangway Inspection Program

A solid maintenance plan begins with a good thorough inspection of the gangway equipment in service. An annual inspection of your access gangway is crucial to ensure that the equipment is functioning properly and is providing maximum safety as it was designed. SafeRack in partnership with our sister company, SafeRack Construction Services, offers an annual gangway safety maintenance inspection as part of our followup service for your SafeRack G4 Gangways.
