Ladder specifications

Various types of telescopic and swivelling ladders are available for swim platforms. the example featured here is a four-step plastimo design, model number 57036. The frame dimensions are: overall width 303mm, frames sides width 78mm and the overall depth 318mm. The tread widths are 254mm to the outside of the tube and the extended ladder length is 1.150m.

Having a comfortable ladder makes giving the boat a bottom scrape a lot easier. in poor visibility, the extra length also makes it much easier to see when swimming back to it from under the boat… it doesn’t make the water any warmer though!
