Pontoon rear entry ladder

This is a bolt-on, retractable, and foldable marine swim ladder designed for permanent installation on the stern deck or transom of a vessel—ideal for pontoon boats. It requires drilling for mounting and can be retracted for storage.

1. Material: Constructed from 316 marine-grade stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, offering excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion. It features black, non-slip rubber tread covers that provide a secure grip and a comfortable, cushioned feel underfoot.

2. Structure: Telescoping design

- When not in use: The lower sections retract upward, stowing flush against the stern. This keeps the ladder out of the water, ensuring it creates no additional drag while the boat is underway.

- When in use: It extends downward to provide multiple steps, allowing for easy boarding from the water.

- Includes integrated, raised handrails that offer ample gripping space, making it safer for children and the elderly to use.

3. Installation: Bolt-on (requires drilling)

The unit comes with stainless steel mounting hardware. The base bracket is secured to the stern deck of the pontoon boat with bolts, ensuring a firm attachment that remains stable even at high speeds.

4. Step Configurations: Available in 4-step, 5-step, and 6-step versions (the model shown in the image is the 6-step version). The steps are widened for increased load-bearing capacity, with a standard safe weight limit of approximately 150–180 kg.

5. Applications: Primarily designed for pontoon boats; also suitable for yachts and fishing boats, facilitating boarding from the water, diving, or swimming activities.
