The 5 Step WIDE STEP Finger Pier Retractable Dock Ladder is designed to provide safe, convenient, and comfortable water access from finger piers, marinas, and commercial dock installations. This Wide Step version features 3.5" deep steps that significantly enhance comfort and stability when climbing in or out of the water. Constructed from 1-1/2" diameter 6063 T5 marine-grade aluminum tubing, the ladder offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in both fresh and saltwater conditions. The frame and steps are TIG-welded, providing superior structural strength and reliable performance under repeated use. Each rung features extruded grooves to provide slip-resistant footing, ensuring safety even when the ladder is wet or exposed to algae. The fully deployed ladder extends approximately 5 feet (60") from the top of the dock to the bottom of the ladder, accommodating standard finger pier heights and offering ample reach for safe water entry and exit. Installation requires four 1/2" diameter bolts (two per handle). Bolt lengths should match your dock thickness, and stainless or galvanized hardware is recommended for maximum corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. Key dimensions include an overall ladder width of 21", handle bracket depth of 8", handle height of 26" above dock deck, step width/depth of 3.5", and a step spacing of 12". This ladder is rated for a maximum load capacity of 650 lbs, making it suitable for commercial piers, marina applications, and contractor installations. Due to its size and weight, this ladder does not qualify for free shipping. UPS Ground shipping rates apply to ensure safe and reliable delivery.
