Track-Mounted Railcar Loading Platforms

Safe Access to Any Railcar, No Matter The Spot

With SafeRack’s loading platforms with track-mounted gangways, railcar inconsistency is no longer an issue. Our loading racks fitted with track-mounted gangways can slide horizontally along the platform, allowing workers to safely and easily access railcar any place along the track system without stopping to move the train.

Improved Efficiency, Uncompromised Safety

SafeRack’s track-mounted loading gangways give operators the flexibility they need to spot vehicles of all types and sizes. This means you’ll speed up your loading or unloading time. And that means you’ll cut costs and increase your overall productivity as a company.

Plus, our track-mounted railcar gangways are built with all the same safety mechanisms as our standard gangways. Our railcar fall protection systems are equipped with a safety cage and a durable, long-lasting design, you can trust your operators will have a secure working environment—today and tomorrow.

Multi Hatch Rail Car Loading Racks

Increase the Safety Net On A Multi Hatch Rail Car

While nothing can completely eliminate accidents, the number of employees injured from a fall while using properly installed and maintained safety racks is almost zero. The most common accidents when using the cages and racks are not falls from heights but slips while accessing the rack or cage, and the improper use of the equipment (climbing over the bars instead of using the gate, failure to properly secure the gate, and so forth).

Enhance Productivity and Protect Against the Unexpected.

Loading racks and safety cages can be quickly modified to shield your workers and a multi hatch rail car from the environment. Shielding your employees further reduces the chances of an injury and protects your products since an added shield, cover or canopy keeps environmental elements out of the equation. Whether it’s high winds, blowing sand or snow, Mother Nature will no longer slow your production, decrease your workers’ safety or contaminate the goods inside the car, truck or container.

SafeRack Collaborates with Nalco to Build Platform Gangway

Nalco chose SafeRack to build its platform gangway because the solutions provided by SafeRack are out of box and actually work. SafeRack built the platform gangway and cage for proper loading and unloading from the tank trucks and iso containers. These platforms are safe and secure and the workers actually focus on their job now instead of worrying about their safety.

The Difference Our Experts Make

We begin every railcar loading platform fall protection project with a visit to the site. We do this to understand firsthand our customers’ goals and challenges. We then visit the location where loading will take place to take measurements and formulate ideas. Using cutting-edge, 3D configurator technology, these ideas can be visualized and easily shared with our customers on the spot. Modifications and improvements can be made on-site, as well.

It’s a collaborative process that includes the transporters, as everything about the rail cars they’ll be loading at the site is incorporated into the ultimate solution. And it’s this attention to detail that ensures successful projects (and happy customers).

The level of quality was much better than products offered by other vendors.

John Bast responded to our needs faster than almost all of our vendors, even our local ones. The level of quality was much better than products offered by other vendors and we received our swivel joints within a week of my placing the order. The people at SafeRack truly cared about providing me with prompt attention and the same level of service you’d expect from a much larger purchase. I would recommend this product to everyone.
