Gangways provide safe access to a floating dock or fishing pier
Designing your commercial gangway
- ADA-Compliant Gangway - Commercial Aluminum Gangway - Rowing Center Gangway- Kayak Launch Gangway with Chute - Long-Span Ferry Gangway - Pivoting / Rail-Mounted Gangway - Cantilevered Deck Gangway - Parallel Bank Gangway - Elevated Pedestrian Walkway / Boardwalk - Supplemental Flotation Gangway
Every BoardSafe dock is built on the same modular aluminum extrusion system that runs across our entire product line. That means gangways, finger docks, and accessories all share the same frame geometry, connection hardware, and decking system — so components integrate cleanly, layouts can be reconfigured as a program grows, and replacements are straightforward without retooling the whole system.
All of our waterfront projects can be configured with adaptive buildouts, products and accessories providing ADA accessibility for all bodies and abilities.
