A highly visible and non-corrosive safety ladder has been developed to improve safety at port and public quay walls.
LifeLadder is made of reinforced synthetic modules and coloured bright yellow with solar-powered LED lights to ensure visibility at day and night.
Kim U. Haaning, managing director of Port-Safety, which has filed a patent for the product, said: “We have created an innovative product improving safety at ports and cities globally. LifeLadder has the potential to save lives, as it makes the access to safety visible to the person in distress both day and night.”
Due to its synthetic structure the ladder requires no maintenance, therefore minimising costs, said Port-Safety
The company added that traditional ladders are more difficult to see positioned on a wall and require more physical and financial upkeep.
Ms Haaning added: “We are excited to share this news with you, and to see LifeLadder contributing to the continued efforts for improved safety. We are meeting great interest and have established corporation with initial ports, municipalities and agents, and we look forward to expand on this.”
