Telescopic and folding ladders

Folding and Telescopic Ladders: Easy Access Onboard

Folding and telescopic ladders are an essential accessory for easy re-boarding from the water. Whether you need a fixed solution for your swim platform or a removable ladder for occasional use, you'll find the right model here. Constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel for ultimate saltwater resistance, with optional teak steps for superior grip, even when wet.

We offer a curated selection of marine ladders from leading brands like Attwood, Douglas Marine, and Osculati. From 2-step models for inflatable boats to 5-step ladders for larger vessels, with various length and width options available. Always check the dimensions (extended and retracted length, maximum width) to ensure the ladder fits your boat perfectly.

A common consideration is material selection: AISI 316 stainless steel is the top choice for corrosion resistance, but teak also offers excellent long-term durability. Also, consider the tube diameter: a larger diameter provides increased strength and stability when climbing.

Folding or Telescopic Ladder: Which to Choose?

The choice depends primarily on available space and intended use. Folding ladders are more compact when not in use, while telescopic ladders offer greater extension. Also, consider the type of boat: for an inflatable boat, a lightweight folding ladder may suffice, while a larger boat is better suited for a more robust telescopic ladder.

How do I attach the ladder to the swim platform?

Most ladders come with brackets and hardware for attaching to the swim platform. Be sure to use stainless steel screws to prevent corrosion. In some cases, it may be necessary to drill the swim platform to install the brackets. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, consult a professional.

Which ladder is suitable for an elderly person or someone with mobility issues?

For the elderly or those with mobility issues, a ladder with wide steps and a handrail is recommended. Models with teak steps offer greater grip, even when wet. Also, consider the height of the ladder: a ladder that is too high may be difficult to climb.
