Prosertek’s marine gangways represent the forefront of access solutions between land and ship, specifically designed to offer safety, versatility and operability even in the most severe conditions. This blog post delves into the operation, features, and types of telescopic gangways developed by Prosertek, highlighting their unique automatic disconnection system in case of emergency.
Prosertek has developed a unique telescopic system that ensures maximum operational safety, low maintenance, and unlimited operational ranges. These gangways are designed to facilitate the transit of people between the dock and the ship, adapting to the ship’s movements through a free-wheel system that allows it to follow the ship’s drift in elevation, descent, extension, retraction, and horizontal rotation. In the event of an incident, our gangways detect the limit ranges and automatically act to initiate the ship’s disconnection.
Types of Our Marine Gangways
In this blog, we will explore the two main types of telescopic gangways offered by Prosertek:
1. Column-type gangways: with a simple structure, ideal for jetties with limited space, providing three axes of movement: rotation, extension, and inclination.
2. Tower-type gangways: designed for operations requiring large vertical ranges, compact and convenient, with four axes of movement: rotation, extension, inclination, and elevation.
Throughout this blog post, you will discover how these telescopic gangways not only meet the needs for safe and efficient port access but also adapt to the specific requirements of each project, offering customised solutions for each client.
Features of Our Telescopic Gangways
Prosertek’s telescopic gangways stand out for their innovative design and functionality, making them an efficient and safe solution for transit between land and ship.
User comfort is prioritised with self-regulating steps, handrails, and adequate passage widths.
Below are the main features that make our gangways a good option for facilitating passenger transit between the dock and the ship and vice versa:
– Versatile: designed according to specific needs, achieving optimal inclinations for the required ranges.
– Efficiency and easy operation: they incorporate technological innovations that allow them to easily follow the ship’s movements once positioned on the deck.
– Compact: their compact design allows them to be located at any terminal, occupying minimal space and allowing for limited locations.
– Easy access: non-slip floors, handrails, and wide steps facilitate simultaneous boarding and disembarking, ensuring safe and comfortable transit from the ship to the dock and vice versa.
– Dedicated design: the versatility allows adaptation to various situations while maintaining all its features.
– Durability and maintainability: certified materials and accessories ensure durability and quick, easy maintenance, following Prosertek’s quality philosophy.
– Safety: if the ship has a drift that exceeds the operational limit range, the gangway will detect it and automatically, through a pre-defined process, initiate disconnection until it reaches its rest or stowage position.
Simple and Robust Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBB)
Prosertek’s access gangways are distinguished by their simplicity and robustness, offering a reliable and safe solution for passenger boarding and disembarking. Their design prioritises safety, comfort, and maintenance, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
Operated by a simple local control panel, Prosertek gangways use an efficient hydraulic system for smooth and reliable operation. Their versatile design allows for custom adaptations to the specific needs of each location and operation.
Prosertek also offers a wide range of accessories and options to further customise the gangways and meet the individual needs of each client.
Other Components and Capabilities of Prosertek’s Telescopic Gangways
Prosertek gangways are distinguished by their focus on safety and reliability. Their robust design, with anti-corrosion treatment adapted to the client’s needs, protects the equipment from the elements and guarantees a long service life.
Our gangways also feature a free-wheel system that allows the gangway to adapt to the ship’s movements without the need for an electric supply, while self-levelling steps ensure user comfort and safety. This system includes pressure release valves and limit detectors to protect the equipment and alert the operator. Additionally, sound and visual warnings, such as beacons, sirens, and light signals, can be included for increased safety.
Moreover, this system can include rotation restriction to avoid potential damage from interference with other previously installed equipment, while automatic retraction ensures the safety of passengers and goods in case of an emergency. Optionally, a cabin can be installed to protect the operator from the weather, and the gangway can be equipped with a crane for auxiliary services.
In short, Prosertek offers a wide range of services, from on-site assembly and supervision to the supply of original spare parts and preventive and corrective maintenance of the equipment.
