It combines the latest technology with the quality for which the company is renowned. Besenzoni is launching an innovative, completely electric gangway onto the market: it's lighter, more efficient, quieter and more environmentally-friendly. And it's so many things besides.

For the company from Sarnico gangways are the obvious place to start when introducing an absolutely revolutionary technology into its operating systems, one which will also soon be used for Besenzoni's own ladders and tender lifts.

The technology uses a simple electrical system which, when applied to the product, is capable of "revolutionising" the yachting world for ever.

Until now nobody had come up with a way of enabling you to board a boat using an electrically operated gangway. For more than 50 years we have become accustomed to Besenzoni's big little "nautical revolutions" - among others in 1973 there was the swim platform with ladder, in 1985 the remote-control operated gangway, the ultra-compact Magic crane, followed by the P400 Matrix helm seat in 2017 -, which is still very impressive even by today's standards, as is the way in which they have met the needs of both boatyards and yacht owners by creating LaPasserella.
Besenzoni's LaPasserella is a new range, which has been simplified by using some of our traditional features while at the same time having been enhanced with the addition of some new stylish features using environmentally-friendly technology.

Now let's have a closer look at the five key innovative features that make LaPasserella different from existing gangways.

It's lightweight

It weighs less since there is no need for oil or a hydraulic control panel. On average it weighs 30 kg less than a traditional gangway! And this also means there is more space in the engine room.
This weight reduction leads to a number of "savings": on the kilos on board, on the installation costs and on the maintenance costs.
In addition, there is an automatic reduction in fuel consumption, thereby reducing the impact on the marine environment.
It's energy efficient
Thanks to LaPasserella the amount of energy used on board is reduced since the hydraulic power of the engine is not required and there are therefore far fewer cables.
Energy is optimised, since the electronic control panel uses less current to operate the gangway, thereby avoiding excessive stress on the system or on the vessel.
It can be operated with either a 12 Vdc or a 24 Vdc power supply.
It's a very quiet system
The system is of course quieter since it is operated electronically.
It's environmentally-friendly
Having LaPasserella means that there is no hydraulic oil in the installation itself nor in the engine room. What's more, there is less use of potentially polluting materials such as plastic or rubber pipes.
It makes it possible to coat the platform with synthetic UV-stabilised PVC.
It's modern and stylish
LaPasserella has a more attractive, up-to-date design.
What's more, it's available in a variety of different finishes and colours, and it can also be completely personalised to your specifications.
This new range can be operated from your smartphone using the Besenzoni Control Device APP because it has the Bluetooth BUC module installed; but it can also be operated using the standard remote control provided.
