Gangway Overview

GLEN access Technology is an expert in China at designing and fabricating client specific ship-to-shore access equipment with telescopic gangways, lift platforms, stores cranes and fire monitor columns, which provide a safe passage from ship to shore for the crew of all types of vessels in the petrochemical industry.

The crew access gangway is typically a hydraulically operated, telescoping gangway structure. The total structure includes: 

• A main superstructure tower or frame which allows the telescoping gangway to be elevated to different levels, also support for any fixed ladders or Stairways
  1. Main superstructure-Mild steel
  2. Telescoping walkway -aluminiumalloy
  3. Hydraulics-steel pump core, stainless fittings and components

• Gangway movements
  1. Luffing(no more than ± 30°)
  2. Telescoping gangway
  3. Slewing
  4. Elevating movements to b controlled via the main structural frame

• Design pedestrian live loading to be 2.5kPa
  1. Hydraulic controls for either manual or automatic(free- flow) operation
  2. Power, cabling and connections
  3. Tie downs on the loading platform for the gangway in a stowed position
  4. Electrical supply suitably compliant for hazardous zones and GLEN offer IECEx, ATEX, UL and GOST certified components throughout our product range
