A marine stage gangway is used by a crew and passengers when embarking and disembarking from ships. These gangways are referred to as stage gangways, barge ship gangways, or vessel stage gangways. Their portable design allows them to be kept dockside or stowed onboard during off-season or in the event of a storm.
Stage Gangway vs Other Types of Gangways
A marine stage gangway is a lightweight and aluminum solution for your crew to be able to easily board a ship. When comparing a marine stage gangway to other types of gangways, this equipment stands out because it is simple, portable, and affordable. Marine Stage Gangways are used for applications that require a lower load capacity. These gangways can be designed with the type of perforated waling surface you need for your application.
