Product information
The Classic rescue ladder is a custom designed, multifunctional tool for life saving. It’s easy to carry and to hang on e.g. a quay or bridge so the distressed person can climb up. It can also be used as a lift- and pull device if the distressed person is too weak to climb the ladder himself. By placing the hitch hooks under the arms of the distressed person, the ladder will act as a crane.
The ladder can also be used as a stretcher as well as a flotation device, in absence of a life buoy, because of its floating properties.

Shore Safetys lifesaving equipment meet the requirements of the Swedish Civil Protection and Emergency Agency (MSB).
This is what the law says
“Where there is a need for life saving equipment, there should be lifebuoys available. (…) At high quays, where it is difficult to reach a distressed from land or where there is deep water directly at land or dock, there should also be rescue hooks and rescue ladders available.”
(SRVFS 2007:5)
”… a portable ladder with hitch hooks that is used to climb down to or up from the water at a quay or equivalent. It can also be used as a tool to pull up a distressed person from the water or as a stretcher.”
(SRVFS 2007:5)

Climb up
Place the ladder with the hitch hooks on the quayside and let the distressed person climb up. The spacer pads that hold the ladder from the quay makes it easier to climb the ladder.
Pull up
Make a ”quay lift” by turning the ladder ”upside down”, lower it into the water, place the hitch hooks under the arms of the distressed person and pull the ladder with the distressed person up and over the quayside.
Rescue marked
Finding the rescue ladder is an easy task thanks to its red and yellow rungs, the SOS-yellow reflectors and the “Rescue Ladder” signs.
Floats
The ladder can also be used as a flotation device, in absence of a life buoy, because of its floating properties.
