Technical Details

This safety ladder is stored out of the water in a compact 22" profile until it is deployed in an emergency situation. This means that the ladder offers a vital safety measure, but as it is stored out of the water, it won’t be damaged by or cause damage to boats using the dock. Neither does it take up valuable dock space.

When deployed, by pulling the yellow step into the water, the steps extend from 30" to 48" (based on dock freeboard), and extend out and away from the dock to make the first step easier to reach. There are 5 steps, each with a standard 12" rise.

After use, the safety ladder is simply collapsed to its storage position up and out of the water. All ladders are clearly marked "Safety Ladder – Emergency Water Exit Only – No Swimming" to discourage other uses while maintaining high visibility.

The safety ladder is constructed of stainless steel components with superior RIE marine coated bolts. The top anchoring plate is installed first with four self-tapping torque head bolts. The safety ladder steps are installed next through the top plate. The support braces are secured with cotter pins for ease of installation while providing an anti-tamper fit.
