JIF Marine DJX4-W 4-Step Retractable Sliding Dock Lift Ladder, 750 lb Capacity, Aluminum

The JIF Marine DJX4-W is a 4-step retractable sliding dock lift ladder built from anodized aluminum for use in saltwater or freshwater marine environments. Its lift-up, retractable design allows the ladder to slide above the waterline when not in use, which helps reduce algae and marine growth on the steps and extends the life of the ladder. The ladder features four extra-wide 4 inch non-slip steps spaced 12 inches apart, giving swimmers and boarders comfortable, stable footing when climbing from the water onto the dock. A double ring locking mechanism holds the ladder firmly in the extended position during use, then releases to allow it to retract for storage. The DJX4-W supports a load capacity of 750 pounds, making it suitable for users of varying sizes, and measures 48 inches tall by 20 inches wide for a stable, wide point of access. This ladder is designed for both residential and commercial dock installations that need a durable, low-maintenance boarding solution. The rust-resistant aluminum frame keeps the ladder lightweight while standing up to harsh marine conditions over repeated use.
