Gangway Options
Safety Cages
- Gangways can have safety cages that provide the operator total fall protection while on top of a truck or railcar.
- Safety cages are customized for each specific application which allows them to work with variable hatch configurations and opening styles.
- Safety cages can be offset or designed with openings (notches) that work with new or existing loading arms and loading spouts.
- Safety cages can be designed to flip up to clear tight railcar envelopes.
- Safety cages can have adjustable rails to accommodate a wide range of vehicle variables.

Track Mounted
- Gangways can be track mounted and move along a section of track to allow flexibility in spotting and virtually eliminates spotting issues.
- Standard track design has a series of self closing swing gates built into the track section(s).
- Optional traveling hand railing system available. Gangway has tracking wings/handrails that moves with the gangway as it tracks up and down the platform.
- Tracking is the ideal solution in scenarios where spotting is a concern, or for accessing multiple hatches on trucks or railcars.
