ombordladers
Ombordladers, often referred to as "on-board loaders" or "boarding ramps," are essential pieces of equipment used to facilitate the transfer of passengers or cargo onto and off of aircraft, ships, trains, or other vehicles. These devices are designed to bridge the gap between the ground or a platform and the entry point of the vehicle, providing a safe and accessible pathway.

On ships, ombordladers can take the form of gangways or ramps, enabling crew and passengers to board
