Foldable Heavy-Duty Aluminum Gangway with Anti-Slip Grating (210–310 cm)

This foldable aluminum gangway with oversized, reinforced stringers is a high-quality solution engineered for intensive use and greater load bearing. Its construction is entirely aluminum – the walking platform consists of an aluminum grating with a coarse, anti-skid surface, eliminating the need for any wooden inserts. This design choice not only makes maintenance easier (no wood to weather or refinish) but also keeps the weight down while providing excellent traction underfoot, even when wet. The beefed-up side stringers act as a strong backbone for the gangway, giving it extra rigidity and stability under load.

There are three length options available – 2.1 m, 2.6 m, and 3.1 m, allowing you to select the optimal gangway length for your specific boat size and mooring needs. All versions are foldable in the middle, which greatly simplifies storage, especially on smaller vessels where space is limited. When folded, these gangways become compact and can be easily stowed in a locker or below deck.

Installation is straightforward and standardized – the gangway attaches to your boat via the included deck mounting socket (25 mm) and stainless steel pivot pin. This enables the gangway to swing freely and adjust to the motion of the boat. Rubber wheels at the dock end provide a cushioned contact on the quay, protecting both the gangway and the dock from scrapes. For safety, a handrail system is included: stainless steel posts and a rope can be set up along one side to form a convenient handrail to steady yourself while boarding (and this rail can be removed or laid down when not needed).

Thanks to its reinforced build, this gangway is ideal for boat owners who frequently handle heavier loads or multiple passengers boarding at once. The higher load capacity and stiffness make it well-suited for larger yachts and powerboats, where standard light-duty gangways might approach their limits. At the same time, the absence of wood components makes it a pragmatic choice for those prioritizing functionality and low upkeep.

Guidance on length selection: The 2.1 m gangway often suffices for boats roughly 5–8 m in length when the freeboard height is small. The 2.6 m variant works well for yachts around 8–10 m or when dealing with moderately high docks. The longest 3.1 m gangway provides a gentler boarding angle even for 10–12+ m vessels or very tall quaysides. In all cases, this heavy-duty aluminum gangway delivers stability and security, offering peace of mind during boarding and long-term durability as part of your marine equipment.

• The reinforced design is perfect for heavier individuals or a high throughput of passengers – the gangway remains rigid and safe under load.
• No wood components means virtually no upkeep – simply rinse with fresh water after use, with no worry about rot or revarnishing.
• Recommended for larger motorboats and sailing yachts where a gangway is regularly used for shore access.
• Excels in professional or high-frequency use cases – e.g., tour boats, water taxis, charter yachts – where reliability is paramount.
• Included handrail posts and rope provide added safety, particularly valuable when boarding older adults or children in uncertain footing conditions.
