SafeRack® G4 series

FRT Flat Ramp Telescoping Gangway with extension-G4

As with all G4 Series Gangways the FRT has far fewer aluminum welds since aluminum welds can break. The body, non skid walk surface and telescoping extension are all one piece construction with no aluminum welds at all.

The G4 Series is made with all computer control processing machinery with 0.004 inch tolerances. This gives the user easier operation, far longer wear and a sturdier walk surface.

Since SafeRack keeps parts in inventory, G4 Gangways can ship in hours instead of weeks if you need on in a hurry.

This gangway is normally used with liquid product railcars where the platform on top of the car varies in width.

The telescoping extension closes off any gap between the gangway and the railcar platform.

SafeRack has over 200 years of collective experience in solving loading station issues. You are not alone. SafeRack will help coordinate vehicle, variables, gangways, fall protection, loading arms, spark prevention, spill containment and space available variables into an ergonomic, safe and efficient loading system.

Only the G4 Series Gangways from SafeRack have replacement parts in inventory in case a gangway gets damaged.

Stronger, safer, easier to use loading station systems.

The FRT G4 Series is available in aluminum, stainless steel and galvanized.

SAFERACK SAFE ACCESS SYSTEM

SafeRack access platforms and stairs provide safe access to the tops of road and railcar, while the safety cage ensures superior fall protection for the operator, once on top of the tanker.

ONLY SafeRack platforms and stairs require less than 35 pounds of lateral force to raise or lower; less chance for muscle strain or operator injury.
ONLY SafeRack products have been engineered with no pinch points, eliminating unnecessary hand injuries.
ONLY SafeRack uses special bushings at the pivot points and the load bearing pivot rods. These self-aligning bushings reduce wear and maintenance issues.
Without these bushings, the platforms and stairs become shaky and more difficult to raise and lower over time.
ONLY SafeRack equipment is manufactured using CNC technology, ensuring precision to one thousandth of an inch, unlike our competitors who merely fabricate by hand. Considering there are a minimum of 16 pivot points in
a standard access stairway, alignment requirements must be precise for
long-lasting equipment.
ALL SafeRack equipment meets or exceeds OSHA guidelines, as we interpret them.

SafeRack personnel have been in this industry for a combined 250+ years, which gives us a tremendous amount of knowledge that we bring to you. This knowledge allows us to provide the highest quality equipment as well as the excellence in service on your project.
