New Ladder Aims to Improve Safety at Ports and Quays
23rd May 2017
New Danish company Port-Safety has launched a new ladder aimed at saving lives by improving safety at ports and public quay walls.
“We have created an innovative product improving safety at ports and cities globally. The product is called LifeLadder, and we are pleased to announce our patent for LifeLadder now has been filed,” says Kim U. Haaning, Managing Director of Port-Safety. “LifeLadder has the potential to save lives, as it makes the access to safety visible to the person in distress both day and night.”
The company says that LifeLadder is a new and innovative safety ladder for the quay wall because it addresses the two problems: visibility and maintenance. It says that traditional safety ladders of galvanized steel have not changed for decades, that the material is not visible, and is corrosive. This presents challenges for safety and for costs, it claims.
LifeLadder is made of maintenance-free, reinforced synthetic modules in a bright, yellow colour that ensures visibility during daytime. Solar-powered LED lights provide visibility at night, easy recognition of the access to rescue and thereby a clear direction to safety.
