JIF Marine DJW5-W 5-Step Flip-Up Aluminum Dock Ladder with Extra-Wide 4 Inch Steps, 750 Pound Capacity

The JIF Marine DJW5-W is a 5-step hinged flip-up dock ladder built from aluminum for long-term exposure to fresh and salt water. The ladder is designed to fold up above the waterline when not in use, keeping steps clear of marine growth and reducing the risk of impact damage from boats docking nearby. A quick-release safety pin locks the ladder in the down position for secure, stable use when boarding or exiting the water, and releases quickly to fold the ladder back up out of the way.

Each of the 5 steps is extra-wide at 4 inches, giving users a larger, more stable footing surface than narrow-rung alternatives, which is particularly useful for swimmers, waders, and anyone boarding a dock or platform repeatedly. The ladder carries a 750 pound load capacity and finishes in a silver aluminum tone that resists corrosion better than uncoated steel hardware. Overall dimensions are 20 inches wide by 60 inches high, sized for permanent mounting at a dock, seawall, or swim platform.
