The 7 Step WIDE STEP Finger Pier Retractable Dock Ladder from A1A Dock Products is engineered for safe, comfortable, and reliable water access from marinas, finger piers, and commercial dock installations. This ladder features the Wide Step design, with 3.5" deep steps that provide superior comfort and stability compared to standard 2" steps, making entry and exit from the water easier and safer for swimmers, divers, and maintenance personnel. Constructed from 1-1/2" diameter 6063 T5 marine-grade aluminum tubing, this ladder combines strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability, suitable for both fresh and saltwater applications. The ladder frame and steps are TIG-welded for superior structural integrity, ensuring long-lasting performance under repeated use. Each rung includes extruded grooves to provide secure, slip-resistant footing in wet or slippery conditions. The fully extended ladder reaches approximately 7 feet from the top of your dock to the bottom of the ladder, accommodating taller piers and finger docks. Grab handles are securely bolted using stainless steel aircraft-grade fasteners with a 2000 lb sheering factor to ensure safe and dependable performance during repeated climbs. Installation requires four 1/2" diameter bolts (two per handle). Bolt lengths will vary depending on the dock or mounting structure, and it is recommended to source stainless or galvanized bolts from a local hardware supplier.
