C-Quip / Marine
01
For the gap the berth wasn't designed for.
Portable carbon fibre steps that bridge awkward transitions between the dock and a boarding platform, stairs or passerelle. Non-slip teak treads, a removable stainless handrail and flat-pack storage, carried and set up by crew without tools.

Overview
Dock Steps provide a portable transition between the dock and a yacht's boarding equipment. Carbon fibre construction keeps the assembly lightweight and corrosion-resistant, while non-slip teak treads and rubber feet provide a stable boarding surface.
Available in three- and four-step configurations, the steps fold flat for storage and can be supplied with an optional carry bag. An optional connection can also be provided for a communications box.

Why it works
Portable access equipment sized for the vessel's boarding heights, carried, set up and stowed by crew, and finished to the standard of the yacht.
01
Non-slip teak treads give reliable footing in wet conditions, and the removable stainless steel handrail gives guests something to hold through the transition. Non-slip rubber feet keep the steps located securely on the dock. A dual handrail arrangement is available where the steps are used on an open dock rather than against a hull or passerelle.
02
The structure is clear-coated carbon fibre or painted to the yacht's colour scheme, the treads are sustainably sourced teak, and the handrail and support are 316 stainless steel or titanium, with a teak handrail available as an optional extra.
03
The steps flat-pack with the handrail removed and travel in an optional protective bag. Set-up is tool-free: opened out on the dock, handrail fitted. Rubber feet locate them on the dock surface, so nothing is fixed, drilled or lashed.
Configurations
C-Quip dock steps are available in two step configurations and two siderail widths, with height and width customised to the vessel's usual boarding arrangements.
A removable 316 stainless steel or titanium handrail is supplied as standard. A dual handrail arrangement is available, and a teak handrail is available as an optional extra.
Available in clear-coated carbon fibre or painted to complement the vessel's colour scheme.
Questions
They bridge awkward gaps between the dock and a yacht's boarding platform, boarding stairs or passerelle, where the height difference makes boarding difficult or unsafe.
Technical information
Compare construction details and dimensions below. The C-Quip team can help identify the appropriate configuration for the vessel's boarding arrangements and typical berths.
| Dimension | Ref | 3 step | 4 step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ground to top step height (mm) | A | 677 | 900 |
| Depth (mm) | B | 950 | 1,224 |
| Siderail width (mm) | C | 850 or 1,300 | 850 or 1,300 |
| Inner step width (mm) | — | 750 or 1,200 | 750 or 1,200 |
Inner step width is the siderail width less 100 mm. Height and width can be customised to requirements.

Engineered to the vessel and self-levelling from dock to deck, where dock steps close a gap, these cover the full height.
