Ladder Design
The 9-meter freeboard step must be constructed as a single piece of hardwood without paint or varnish to prevent slipperiness. The lower four steps must be made of rubber.
Step dimensions should be 400mm between side ropes, 115mm in width, and 25mm in thickness, with equal spacing between 310mm to 350mm.
If the ladder has more than five steps, it should include a spreader of 180cm length. The maximum number of steps between spreaders is nine, with the fifth step serving as a spreader.
All steps must remain horizontal and have metal tags at the bottom of the first step and last spreader. The replacement of steps should not exceed two in number.
Side Ropes
Ladder Mounting
Both ladders must comply with an open-bottom model and should be securely clamped. The length of side rope below the final steps should not be less than 5cm, with a diameter not less than 32mm.
The distance between two stanchions should be within the range of 0.7 to 0.8 meters, with stanchion height at 1.2 meters above the bulwark.
Stanchions and rigid handrails should be present on both sides of the ladder and platform, but if hand ropes are used, they should be taut and properly secured.
Pilot Ladder Winch Reel
Pilot ladder winch reels offer an efficient means of storing and moving the ladder. These are usually installed on the ship's upper main deck or at side openings, such as side doors, gangway locations, or bunkering points.
Winch reels on the upper deck may result in very long pilot ladders, embarkation platforms, or trapdoors.
Pilot Ladder Parts
Made up of Rubber step(the last four steps), Wood step, Spreader(Preventer Step), Step fixing piece, rope.
Rope
Ropes should be mold-resistant manila or heat-treated polyester rope with polypropylene core and should not be covered. Ropes shall be of a diameter which is no less than 57mm in circumference, and have a braking strength more than 24KN.
Steps
The distance of inner edge of side ropes should be more than 400mm, the width of step is no less than 115mm, and thickness no less than 25mm. The steps should be non-slip, hard wood steps without knot and equally spaced at 330±20mm.
Rubber Step
The bottom 4 steps may be made f resilient synthetic raw material or rubber if it is of sufficient strength and stiffness. Rubber steps should be of the same required dimensions as the wooden steps.
Spreader
Spreader shall have the same specifications as normal steps, but length of spreader shall not be less than 1.8 meters.
Step Fixing Piece
Must be wood or plastic
Fastening Hardware
Fastening hardware for rope and steps must be corrosion resistant, or made of similar material treated corrosion resistance.
