Gangways and accessories

Gangways aren't all created equal: fixed, folding, telescopic… But one thing's for sure: without the right accessories, installation becomes a nightmare. Here you'll find everything you need for a professional installation, from specialized screws to reinforced fittings.

Whether you have a lightweight aluminum gangway or a stylish stainless steel and iroko model, choosing the right accessories makes all the difference in terms of durability and safety. A faulty fitting can fail under weight, and an unsuitable wheel can seize up. Don't skimp on quality, especially if you have a sailboat and the gangway is subjected to greater stresses.

Essential Accessories:

* **Fittings and Mounts:** Choose AISI 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance. Verify compatibility with your gangway (dimensions, hole spacing).
* **Wheels:** Useful for moving the gangway on board or facilitating disembarkation on shore. Ensure they are resistant to saltwater and UV rays.
* **Pins and Backing Plates:** Essential for securing the gangway to the boat. Check the diameter and material (stainless steel).

If you also need to replace the gangway, take a look at our section of fixed gangways and folding gangways.

What are the advantages of a folding gangway compared to a fixed one?

Folding gangways are easier to stow and take up less space on board. They are ideal for boats with limited space or for those looking for a more versatile solution. Fixed gangways, on the other hand, are more robust and suitable for frequent use.

How can I protect my gangway from corrosion?

Use specific products for cleaning stainless steel and aluminum. Avoid harsh or abrasive detergents that could damage the surface. After each use, rinse the gangway with fresh water to remove salt.

What is the maximum load supported by gangway accessories?

The maximum load depends on the type of accessory and the construction material. Always check the manufacturer's technical specifications before use. In general, AISI 316 stainless steel accessories are more resistant than aluminum ones.

How to choose the right gangway length?

The length of the gangway depends on the height of the boat and the distance from the dock. In general, a gangway that is too short will be uncomfortable and dangerous, while a gangway that is too long will be bulky. Carefully measure the distance and choose a gangway that allows you to disembark safely.
