Scuffed Ramp / Boarding Gear

Scuffed Ramp / Boarding Gear is gear for bridging mismatched deck heights for people and hand freight during a hurried transfer, built for crews who measure twice because the load never apologizes. Captive pins and replaceable contact faces prevent small parts from joining the orbital debris census. Stage loose cable first, keep the recoil lane empty, and leave a clear route to dump tension if the readings turn sour. Under thrust, watch the lowest attachment. A finger-width of creep means the rest of the rig is already lying. Skipping the post-load inspection saves six minutes and can cost six hours cutting freight out of a bulkhead. A missed end clamp lets the span walk sideways and drops its load into the gap between hulls.
