The ramp at Saltholmen
A ramp at the Saltholmen ferry stop lets a Fluito roll straight from the water onto the road – to the car park before a longer trip, or on to the shops.
How it works
Roll down
Drive down the ramp at walking pace. The wheels fold up as the hull starts to float.
Float home
Cross to your island on electric power. The jetty at home is all the harbour you need.
Drive on
Back at Saltholmen, the wheels drop, grip the ramp and pull you up onto the road.
Why Saltholmen?
Saltholmen is where the southern archipelago meets the city: the ferry terminal, the tram, a large car park and the road towards the shopping centres are all within a few hundred metres.
A single ramp there opens all of that to every island in the southern archipelago, at any time of day.
Built with the City of Gothenburg
The ramp at Saltholmen was built in cooperation with the City of Gothenburg. The city provided the site next to the ferry terminal and handled the permits; Fluito designed the ramp and paid for its construction.
The ramp is open to every amphibious vehicle, not only Fluitos, and is maintained together with the city.
New ramps on the way
Röda Sten
A ramp below the Älvsborg Bridge, by the Röda Sten art centre, opens up the north bank of the river and the western suburbs.
Cityvarvet
A ramp right outside our own factory, in the middle of the city. Fluito owners get a free parking space next to it.

We have done it once at Saltholmen and are doing it again at Röda Sten and Cityvarvet. Get in touch through the quote form and tell us where you want to roll into the sea.
