Two of the latest Besenzoni products recently showcased by the Italian company are a new gangway and ladder.
The PI 382 Sprint model is an automatically operated telescopic gangway whilst the SP 601 is a hydraulically operated retractable ladder/gangway.
Hydraulic power
The PI 382, made from electro-polished or painted stainless steel, combines the functions of gangway and davit. It is equipped with an electro-hydraulic power unit with infra-red remote control for operation from the cockpit and features automatic stanchions with ropes as standard on the starboard side.
The SP 601 retractable ladder/gangway is operated hydraulically, can be tilted upwards or downwards and has self-levelling teak steps. It is available either in polished, powder-coated, or chrome-finish stainless steel.
The stanchions with rope are manually operated and retractable. The control panel for operating the ladder can be located in the cockpit. It is equipped with a hydraulic power unit and has an infra-red remote control. Additionally, there is an optional “ladder outside” sensor intended to warn the bridge when the boat sets off.
Success
Besenzoni, distributed in the UK by Trimage, enjoyed a positive 2018, reporting an increase in turnover of 13% compared with the last four years, thanks to its fruitful collaboration with manufacturers of boats of all kinds.
