Gangway 101: Different types of aluminium gangways

Gangways are like ramps that are smooth and sloping and usually used by passengers to enter or exit a ship or aircraft. It is also typically used for loading and unloading cargo. It looks like a makeshift footbridge, which is why aluminium gangways have to be very sturdy and stable.

Commonly, aluminium gangways have foldable handle rails for secure storage. The surface is typically rough to avoid slipups and accidents. The ramp is explicitly designed to prevent waterlogging problems. Other types include beam brow aluminium gangways, which are welded for maximum durability, as well as truss brow aluminium gangways, which are constructed from heavy-duty aluminium to conform to the required industry standards. The surface of the ramp for these gangways is likewise designed to have a finish that is not smooth and slippery to avoid accidents, as well as to prevent water from accumulating. These gangways are designed to fit ships of various shapes and sizes.

There are also other types of gangways used in ports and harbours, including light-duty gangways. These gangways are portable and affordable, are lighter in weight, and are used in residential ports.

They are made of aluminium and steel, which prevent corrosion. These gangways usually have foldable handrails for easy storage. Medium-duty gangways are made of the same materials as their light-duty counterparts but are designed to be able to take heavier loads. They are quite affordable but do not necessarily have foldable handrails. Lastly, heavy-duty gangways are used in private harbours that cater to cruise ferries and other types of boats. The materials aluminium and steel allow the ramps to withstand hefty loads. They are wide and easy to use, so even handicapped people can embark and disembark safely.
