G-Raff Systems Railcar and Tank Truck Gangways are specifically designed for various industries and applications that require accessing the top of a vehicle. Our Gangways  and loading ramps are 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 and loading ramps 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 fixed-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.

Options include:

  • Safety Enclosures
