A marine gangway is a safe way to access barges and ships, which is critical to improving workplace safety and preventing accidents. These gangways are typically made of aluminum because of the material’s resistance to corrosion and lightweight properties. Gangways for marine applications are commonly used by a ship’s crew or passengers to enter or exit a ship.
What are Common Features for an Above Dock Marine Gangway?
- Aluminum gangway with self-leveling treads, flat ramp walk surfaces, or curved treads
- Hot dipped galvanized platform and track with bar grating walk surface.
- Float mode (powered gangways only) allows for the gangway to move with the vessel as its freeboard changes during loading/unloading operations as well as changes to tide or river stages.
SafeRack is committed to marine access and loading workplace safety. This is why we manufacture durable and long-lasting safety products including:
- Barge gangways can be fixed to a static structure like a complex platform system or to a mobile platform to allow easy operation and storage.
- Ships’ brows that can be stand-alone and are put into place when necessary, and then picked up and stored on the dock or vessel when not needed
- Barge bridges to allow for safe travel between barges
- Custom marine dock ramps for safe access to and from barges and ships.
The Ultimate Aluminum Dock and Ship Gangways
Dock gangways (also known as a ship brow or accommodation ladder) are the last thing an operator comes into contact with before stepping onto a vessel and the first thing they come into contact with when going back to shore, so they need to be rugged and dependable, but most importantly, they need to be safe. SafeRack’s aluminum gangways for barge access and ship access deliver precisely that. Our advanced, corrosion-resistant aluminum marine gangways are designed for OHSA-compliant worker safety, durability, and reliability in marine environments and are built-to-order to your required length and specifications.
Built to Last
Constructed of durable marine-grade aluminum or galvanized or stainless steel, our vessel gangways are available in sizes up to 50’ in length and 5’ in width. Special-purpose gangways exceeding those measurements can also be built. Whatever your need, SafeRack’s MarinaStep personnel can engineer the perfect product for your unique needs.
