Counterweight system for ships gangways

Counterweight system for ships gangways

Easy handling of ships gangways


Gangways with a considerable length, used at terminals, often become too heavy to position onto the ship by means of manpower. 

Using a hoisting device becomes necessary but may not always be available. This may lead to dangerous situations and health risks.

Verhoef has developed a patented solution to enable one person to easily ride the gangway towards the ship and lift it upward.
