THE NEW OPACMARE DOLPHINS Aluminium Alloy Transom Gangways
Innovation, technology and value for money – an exceptional trio.
Ecodolphin – Dolphin and Maxi Dolphin, three environmentally friendly telescopic marine gangways in aluminium and teak with load capacities ranging between 330 and 580 lbs (150 and 260 kg) relaunched by Opacmare with an all new look, build and price.
Extensive engineering studies and new aluminium assembly techniques have resulted in a lightweight structure that possesses the same structural strength as steel thus allowing for greater load capacities; production processes have in turn also been streamlined which has significantly reduced costs and retail prices.
The Dolphin series has a newly designed anti-skid chequered footway, patented by Opacmare, that feels wonderfully solid, stable, and comfortable to walk on and features double indentations that allow water to drain away easily; the new structure is also less susceptible to humid conditions as compared to traditional gratings, with slats or large square holes.
Opacmare’s Dolphin gangways, as per the company’s environmentally friendly policy, are all structured in recycled aluminium and, in line with current market trends are available in an exciting range of water-based custom colours.
