Telescopic servo-assisted gangways/davits

Telescopic gangways are the perfect solution for boaters seeking ultimate comfort and convenience when boarding their vessel. Unlike manual or folding gangways, these offer an effortless experience thanks to hydraulic or electric operation, easily controlled via remote or control panel.

Available in various lengths, typically from 2 to 3 meters, and with a load capacity reaching up to 200 kg, Bridge and MZ Electronic gangways, available from Nautica Basile, are built with high-quality, marine-grade materials, designed for lasting durability. Before purchasing, it's crucial to carefully verify compatibility with your boat. Ensure you have sufficient space to accommodate the gangway and the correct power supply (12V or 24V) available.

One of the most common concerns our customers face is choosing the right length. A gangway that's too short may be uncomfortable and impractical, while an excessively long gangway can be difficult to maneuver and cumbersome. Therefore, we recommend carefully measuring the available space on board and considering the height of the dock or pier you typically moor to, ensuring you make the most appropriate choice.

Nautica Basile also offers a selection of used hydraulic gangways, inspected, serviced, and guaranteed, for those seeking a more economical option without compromising on quality and safety. These represent excellent value in the world of boat gangways.

Basile Workshop Tip

* Regular Maintenance: Periodically check hydraulic oil levels (if applicable) and lubricate moving parts with marine-grade lubricants to prevent seizing and wear.
* Protection from the Elements: During extended periods of non-use, protect the gangway with a waterproof and UV-resistant cover to shield it from the corrosive effects of sun and salt spray.
* Wiring Inspection: Regularly inspect the condition of electrical wiring and connectors for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Replace any faulty components immediately to prevent short circuits or malfunctions.
* Periodic Cleaning: Regularly clean the gangway surface with fresh water and a mild detergent to remove salt, dirt, and organic residues. Avoid using abrasive products that could damage the finish.

If you want to make boarding even easier and safer, consider installing a tender davit. This accessory will allow you to lift and launch your tender effortlessly, simplifying mooring and unmooring operations.

Is it suitable for my 12-meter boat?

Compatibility depends on the available space for housing the telescopic gangway and the required load capacity. Measure the installation area and verify that the chosen gangway can support the weight of the people who will be using it, also taking into account any luggage or equipment. Consider that some models require 12V power, while others require 24V. Check the voltage available on board.

How is a telescopic gangway installed?

Installing a telescopic gangway requires specific skills and the use of appropriate equipment. To ensure proper and safe installation, we strongly recommend entrusting the task to a qualified technician with experience in the nautical sector. Incorrect installation could compromise the functionality of the gangway and the safety of the boat.

What are the advantages compared to a folding gangway?

Telescopic gangways offer a superior level of comfort and convenience thanks to servo-assisted movement, which eliminates the need for physical exertion. They are particularly suitable for people with mobility problems or for those who want maximum comfort. Folding gangways, on the other hand, are more economical and lighter, but require more physical effort for use and storage.

Can I install the gangway myself?

Although it is theoretically possible to install a telescopic gangway yourself, it is strongly discouraged unless you have solid experience in nautical mechanics, electrical systems, and hydraulics. Installation requires high precision and knowledge of safety regulations. Relying on a qualified professional is the safest and most advisable choice.
