Motion systems and mechanisms
AMS motion systems are entirely custom-designed and manufactured to integrate seamlessly with the geometry, operational requirements and design of each yacht.
AMS side boarding ladders are custom-designed and manufactured to ensure safe, comfortable and convenient access to the yacht, seamlessly integrating with the vessel’s geometry and design.

The AISI 316L stainless-steel structure, complemented by aesthetic carbon fibre covers, is engineered to provide high stiffness and strength while minimising overall dimensions and ensuring reliability and durability in the marine environment.
Particular attention is given to comfort and ease of use. The teak-covered steps, featuring integrated lighting, are connected through a synchronisation mechanism designed to maintain their parallel alignment throughout the movement of the stairs.
The lateral safety system incorporates mirror-polished AISI 316L stainless-steel stanchions and lifelines with manual tensioning, combining safety, functionality and aesthetic consistency with the yacht’s finishes.
Each boarding stair system is developed according to the yacht’s geometry, installation location and specific operating conditions. Configuration, dimensions and technical solutions are defined in collaboration with the shipyard and in accordance with applicable requirements.
