Passerelle/gangplank source in US

Looking for an aluminum passerelle. Don't want to pay for carbon fiber, I'd like something better than a motorcycle ramp used on a pickup truck.
Sources/suggestions?

Re: Passerelle/gangplank source in US

We bought two big dog ramps and made hinges. Looked at aluminum stadium planking and have made a long ramp from two 12’ x1’ pieces and some 1” x 2” rectangular tubes we TIG welded along the edges.
Dock builders can fab up something simple in aluminum but the plank price at Lowe’s is hard to beat and it will hold a manatee.
Happy trails to you.
Mark

You'll have to get creative as passerelle's really arent a thing here in North America. They're just not usually needed.
