For Inspection, Exploration, Rescue & Escape. The Ladders are designed for use in difficult places where a rigid ladder would be impractical. They are so light and compact that one man could easily carry 60 meters or more in a pack. In places where access has been by means of a rope or free climbing, the use of a wire rope ladder will greatly increase safety. Safety can be increased further by use of a safety line and/or a carabiners (snap hook) with which the climber can attach himself to the ladder when resting.
They come in standard lengths of 6m, 9m and 15m. Both ends of the ladders are fitted with 'C' clips so that they can he easily joined to make any required length! Each ladder is supplied with a "Trace". This is a 2.5m length of wire also fitted with 'C' clips and may be used for attaching the ladder to a tree, post or whatever.
The wire rope is galvanised and the rungs are made of aluminium alloy. Therefore corrosion is not a problem in normal environments. Occasional wetting with fresh water will do no harm. For harsh environments such as marine usage. special materials can be used. Make an enquiry by sending and email to david@netting.com.au or using our online contact form.
The narrow width of the ladder 150mm, far from being a disadvantage, actually makes it easier to climb. It enables the climber to keep his body close to the ladder in a near upright position, thus minimising strain on his arms.
The rungs are swaged directly to the wire. This provides a very reliable fastening. For example, even after a rung is forced down the wire by a sudden overload (say a falling rock) it will still hold a man's weight.
