Loading Gangways
Safe and Efficient Access for Tanker Trucks, Railcars & Barges
SafeRack’s 24″ self-adjusting access gangways are engineered for safe access to varying-height tankers transporting crude oil, refined fuels, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and petrochemicals. Made from marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel, these gangways offer corrosion-resistant performance in harsh environments. Hydraulic and pneumatic-powered gangway options are also available for high-throughput operations.
Each gangway includes a four-rail safety cage that creates a secure 4’x6′ barrier around tanker hatches, preventing falls during loading and unloading. These systems integrate seamlessly with loading arms and fall protection equipment, ensuring operator safety and regulatory compliance.
- Power-assisted options for easier operation and higher efficiency
- Self-adjusting design for safe access to varying vehicle heights
- Durable materials resist corrosion in harsh chemical environments

Loading Arms
Reliable Chemical and Petroleum Transfer Systems
SafeRack’s 6″ carbon steel loading arms are engineered for the safe transfer of crude oil, refined fuels, LNG, and petrochemicals. Designed for durability, these arms include vapor recovery plates and 2″-3″ vapor lines to control emissions and maintain EPA compliance.
The PTFE-sealed swivel joints provide superior chemical resistance, ensuring long-term durability even when handling highly corrosive materials. These loading arms can be customized for multiple product types, from natural gas liquids to refined fuels.
- Customizable configurations for various chemical and fuel transfers
- Vapor recovery systems for emissions control and EPA compliance
- PTFE-sealed joints for chemical and corrosion resistance
Eye Wash/Drench Showers
Immediate Response to Chemical Exposure Risks
Energy facilities often handle hazardous chemicals that pose risks of eye and skin exposure. SafeRack provides ANSI/ISEA Z358.1–2014 compliant eye wash and drench shower units that ensure workers can quickly decontaminate in the event of an emergency.
These combination units are strategically installed within 10 seconds or 55 feet of hazardous areas, on the same horizontal plane with no obstructions. For bottom-loading operations, an additional unit is placed at grade level for immediate access.
- Strategic placement for quick and easy access
- ANSI/ISEA Z358.1–2014 compliant for emergency response
- Space-saving combination units for full-body and eye decontamination
Spill Containment
Preventing Environmental Hazards in Energy Facilities
SafeRack’s spill containment pans and berms are essential for preventing leaks and spills during the loading and unloading of petroleum, natural gas liquids, and petrochemicals. Our durable containment systems help facilities meet EPA regulations while protecting workers and the environment.
Wheel chocks and spill containment pans at loading points ensure that accidental leaks are captured, reducing contamination risks and improving overall site safety.
- Wheel chocks for added stability during loading and unloading
- Durable containment pans for spill prevention and EPA compliance
- Portable spill berms for flexible containment needs
Piperacks
Streamlined Installation for Complex Piping Systems
Energy facilities rely on complex piping networks to transport oil, gas, and chemicals throughout their operations. SafeRack’s ErectaRack pre-fabricated pipe racks simplify the installation process by eliminating the need for lengthy engineering and fabrication.
Pre-engineered for a range of pipe dimensions and applications, these modular racks can be installed quickly and efficiently, saving time and reducing labor costs.
- Durable construction for harsh energy environments

Extremely Satisfied
Very knowledgeable of the options and requirements
By Teri P. from Sherwin Williams
The ease of installing our new universal safety gates saved us time and money. The ease of installing our new universal safety gates saved us time and money. Time is essential when dealing with safety. The universal safety gate swings in both directions, and it can be mounted easily to almost anything. I really appreciate that we can inventory one gate for all services at our facility. I have had only positive feedback from refinery personnel about the gates and if I had to pick a negative it would have to be that I didn't know about the gates as soon as they came out.
