JIF Marine EQB3 3-Step Over Platform Telescoping Boat Ladder, 316 Stainless Steel, 400 Pound Capacity

The JIF Marine EQB3 is a 3-step over platform telescoping boat ladder designed to give swimmers an easy, secure way to board from the water. The ladder telescopes down into the water for boarding, then folds up and stows flat against the deck or swim platform when not in use, keeping the platform clear and reducing trip hazards underway.

Construction is electropolished 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments. The steps are stainless steel with flat poly treads that include molded handgrips, giving swimmers a stable foothold and a hand-hold as they climb aboard. The ladder is rated for a 400 pound load capacity and extends to a length of 34 inches, collapsing down to 15 inches stowed for compact storage. The unit is 12 inches wide.

This is an over-platform mounting style ladder, meaning it mounts to and folds over the edge of an existing swim platform or deck rather than requiring a transom bracket. It suits runabouts, cruisers, pontoons, and other boats with a swim platform where a compact, self-stowing boarding ladder is needed.
