Pontoon Gangway, Ramp & Access Hire
Safe, practical access between the bank, quay, towpath or structure and your floating pontoon.
Gangways, Access Ramps & Steps
FPS Pontoon Hire can provide gangways, access ramps, steps and other transition arrangements alongside our modular pontoon systems. The most suitable solution depends on the bank or quay level, expected users, movement of the pontoon, available fixing points and site-specific access requirements.
Where required, access arrangements can be incorporated into the overall pontoon layout so the platform and route onto it are considered together.
Access Planned Around the Site
Access arrangements can include steel or aluminium gangways, ramps, steps, rollers, wheels and suitable landing details depending on the site. We consider level changes, water movement, pedestrian use, equipment being moved, edge protection and the available approach to the pontoon.
Send us photographs, drawings and details of the intended users and we can review a suitable access arrangement. Request a quote from FPS Pontoon Hire.
The arrangement depends on the height difference between the access point and pontoon, expected water-level movement, intended users, equipment being moved and the available landing area. Photographs, drawings and site dimensions help us assess the requirement.
