Overview
Product information
Our chain ladder is especially developed with regards to durability and simple installation. It is placed where it is difficult for a person to get out of the water. The ergonomic handle makes it easier to climb over the edge of the quay or bridge when one reaches the top of the ladder.
Spacers ensure extra space between the ladder and the quay wall for easy access. The highly reflective
reflectors indicate the way out of the water. The counterweights keep the ladder straight and steady when climbing on it. The sign (“Rescue Ladder”) with reflectors makes it easy to find the ladder.

Placing
Position the ladder so it is visible from as many angles as possible. The ladders are to be placed 25-50 meters apart from each other. Attach the included reflectors to increase the ladder’s visibility in darkness. The ladder should reach a minimum of 1meter below the surface at low tide, to ensure its accessibility at all times.
