G-Raff Systems Railcar and Tank Truck Gangways are specifically designed for various industries and applications that require accessing the top of a vehicle. The Gangway is designed for applications where the working range is within 15 degrees above or below the platform height. The Gangway provides a solution for various applications that have an access problem.

Railcar and Tank Truck Gangways provide safe access from the loading rack or dock to an elevated manway during a loading/unloading process. Our Gangways are designed with non-skid grip strut walking surfaces.

Gangways can be manufactured from carbon steel, aluminum, and fiberglass (or a combination of the each). Benko Products, Inc. can design a Gangway to meet any application that your operation requires. Aside from the typical tixed reach Gangways, several adjustable reach Gangways are available.

Maneuvering the Railcar or Tank Truck Gangway is performed by hand. Simple, compact tension springs balances make all movements easy. A slight push or pull positions the Gangway for safe access. Each unit is equipped with a locking mechanism for storage in the vertical position.

If adjustable reach Gangways are required, the extendable portion of the Gangway can be extended and locked in place with the positioning handle.

Combined with these features, several advantages listed next make G-Raff Systems your choice for safety.

  • Folding tubular handrails with midrails on each side of the stair for increased operator safety and compliance with OSHA standards as we interpret them for 200 lbs. directional force.
  •  Neoprene bumpers to eliminate damage to the vehicles being serviced.
  •  Axles have self-aligning, permanently lubed bearings for years of lasting service.
  •  A vaerity of finishes are available: standard safety yellow enamel, hot dipped galvanized, uncoated or anodizing for aluminum models.
  •  Optional side mount brackets make side mounting to your existing structure easy.
  •  Optional welded stops prevent the Gangway (Safety Bridge) from traveling beyond a predetermined position.
  •  Larger models may require the use of a manual or electrically operated hydraulic lift package.
  •  Tension springs are enclosed in the side panels to prevent pinch points and corrosion to the springs.
