Ramps and Gangways
Our solutions to fall protection applications don’t end with fall protection systems. We also address safe access to these vehicles. Our complete line of Staircases, Ramps, Gangways and Service Platforms is geared toward simple low cost access solutions.

Model AR-2 Twin Vehicle Access Systems:
A system including a Staircase and Platform with Guardrails and Drop Down Access Ramp. The Access Ramp (also commonly called a "Gangway") includes Telescoping Fold Up Guard Rails and may be adjusted for "Down Position" level to make sure the Gangway "pops back up" a foot or so off the vehicle when the worker steps off. This will prevent the vehicle from destroying the Gangway if the worker inadvertently forgets to retract the Gangway before the vehicle moves away. The Gangway is also Spring Loaded to facilitate movement up and down.

We also offer Heavy-Duty Portable Roll-around Staircase Access systems with oversized tires and extension staircases. Larger projects requiring custom designs begin with a free on-site engineering evaluation at your facility. Custom design engineering, manufacturing, and field installations are coordinated through to installation by our experienced field engineering personnel, providing our customers with one source to deal with that has full responsibility for their projects.

Gangway with Self-Leveling Staircase Model GSL-1
The Model GSL-1 Gangway is a Gangway that includes a built-in Self-Leveling Staircase with Telescoping Handrails. The "down staircase" shown below telescopes to become a flat ramp as the system is raised to a perpendicular (horizontal) position, and becomes an "up staircase" as the system is raised above the horizontal plane. This system is particularly well suited to applications that require access to vehicles of varying heights. Protective Safety Cages also available. Field installation or kit packages available. Specify ramp length and width required.

Pivoting Gangway Model PG-1
The PG-1 Pivoting Gangway may be mounted onto an existing platform or included with a new platform from Fall Protection Systems. The Pivoting Gangway may be selected for applications where the vehicle being accessed does not land in the same location each time. This Gangway may also be used to access either of two or more walkways that travel in different directions, while allowing the Gangway to be raised up and out of the way. This model also includes a Retractable Extension to increase the forward reach of the Gangway in the horizontal position. Notice the round, heavy-duty "Socket Pivot" on the front face of the platform on which the Gangway pivots.

Sliding Gangway Vehicle Access System Model SG-1
The Sliding Gangway Vehicle Access System Model SG-1 provides excellent versatility at an affordable price. Notice the heavy-duty steel Slide Mounting Track just below the handrails at the rear of the Gangway Base. When vehicles are located anywhere within the range of the Sliding Gangway, the Gangway may be easily moved onto or over a convenient vehicle access location. The built-in Safety Cage shown is designed to protect the worker by extending the height of the vehicle’s Crash Box in compliance with OSHA fall protection requirements while the worker is atop the vehicle. This flexible, durable system includes heavy duty Roller Bearings on the Variable Length Slide (specify length desired, 10 foot slide length shown). The optional Aluminum Safety Cage shown here is available in various sizes to meet your application requirements. Available installed or as a Kit.
