ADDED SAFETY<\/h3>\n

Maneuvering the access gangway is performed manually. Simple, compact tension spring balances make all movements easy. A slight push or pull positions the gangway for safe access. Each unit is equipped with a locking mechanism for storage in the vertical position.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1539630070551{padding-bottom: 2.8em !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”10757″ img_size=”120×120″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”bottom-to-top”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

EASY TO INSTALL<\/h3>\n
