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.
Advantages of the Verhoef Counterweight System:
- One person can manoeuvre and lift the gangway, with minimal effort
- Positioning the gangway without hoisting equipment
- A balanced gangway, over the full vertical range, due to unique wheel pattern
- The counterweight system fits all Verhoef gangways (new ánd existing gangways)
- Available for lengths up to 11m
