Telescopic Marine Gangway
Telescopic marine gangways are vital to offshore safety systems for two main purposes. These telescopic retractable gangways allow for personnel to access offshore installations but also support utility transfer lines for cargo, electricity, water, mud, and even fuel. As the provider of custom marine equipment, S&S Technical has earned a reputation for high-quality custom gangways that perform reliably in harsh marine environments. Our telescopic gangways provide access to difficult-to-reach areas on ships and between docks and ships. Their telescopic retractable gangways and ramps allow for easy storage without using excess space.
