INTRODUCTION
The MGF Gangway Ramp is designed as an add on access improvement, for existing Laddersafe
platforms. It is designed to fit onto existing unmodified Type 01 & 02 Laddersafe platforms via an
Overshoe adaptor or will fit directly to a Type 3 Laddersafe platform for Stairsafe (4.3039).
It is to allow easier access onto the platform, where an upstand is present, ie the Trench sheets or
Trench Box’s are above the ground level, or where ground conditions are poor in the vicinity of the
platform entry.
The ramps are modular and can be fitted together to cater for varying heights and lengths of ramp
required. Each 1.5m long ramp can cater for a maximum 0.5m upstand. 3No ramps max can be
connected.

FEATURES
Enables safe access to a Laddersafe platform when access would otherwise be restrictive –
either by being installed on an upstand or installed around bad ground which is
sloped/falling away around the shoring.
Via the use of adaptors, the ramps can connect to the back face of Type 1 & 2 Laddersafe
platforms, as well as the new Type 3 Laddersafe (4.3039) that has been designed to accept
the new Stairsafe system.
Ramps connect together to the required length/height and angle can vary – up to a
maximum of 17.5°.
Serrated open mesh floor to provide extra foot grip on sloping ramp.
Integrated chains and couplings to bridge gaps in railings.
Can be fitted with access doors (optional).
