Introduction
The document introduces a novel system developed by Gastl GmbH (brand name ALMAR) for yacht gangways, called the "Compact-rotator." This system revolutionizes the lifting and lowering mechanisms traditionally used in gangways.

Specifications and Features
The "Compact-rotator" eliminates the need for a lifting cylinder, which is typically required for vertical movement. This innovation allows for both UP-DOWN and LEFT-RIGHT movements in confined spaces, enhancing the versatility of gangway installations.

Advantages
1. Space Efficiency: The absence of a lifting cylinder allows for more storage space beneath the gangway, which can be utilized for storing a dinghy or other uses on the bathing platform.
2. Ease of Installation: The compact design is particularly beneficial for sailboats with limited space, facilitating easier installation.
3. Design Flexibility: The compact height and movement capabilities offer new design possibilities for boatbuilders and shipyards, allowing integration into the bathing platform.

Conclusion
The hydraulic telescopic gangway, protected by patents, represents a significant advancement in yacht component design, offering practical benefits and new opportunities for yacht design and functionality.
