Product Introduction
Our solid hard wooden steps (rungs/treads) are core components for marine pilot and embarkation ladders, manufactured strictly in accordance with latest ISO 799 and ISO 5489 standards. Made of premium knot-free hardwood (typically beech), these steps feature excellent load-bearing capacity, anti-slip performance and seawater corrosion resistance. They serve as reliable parts for ship rope ladders, widely used on various ocean-going vessels to ensure safe boarding and disembarkation for marine pilots and crew members
We supply standard size steps and customized specifications. These wooden treads are designed for long-term marine environment use, resistant to humidity, salt spray and abrasion.

FAQ
Q: Do your wooden steps comply with international ship inspection standards?
A: Yes. All products strictly follow SOLAS and ISO 799 / 5489 standards, widely used by some famous professional pilot / embarkation ladder manufacturers all over the world.
Q: What kind of wood do you use? Can I choose the material?
A: Most common used type is Beech, and some rubber tree (for low cost region). We support material selection and customization as your request.
Q: Can I get custom sizes for special pilot ladders?
A: Custom size, thickness and hole position are available. Simply send us the detailed drawing.
Q: Is the surface painted? Will it affect anti-slip performance?
A: No paint or varnish is allowed used. Natural wood surface maintains original friction coefficient, complying with the safety rules.
Q: How about the packaging for long sea transportation?
A: Adopt waterproof packaging, effectively prevent moisture, collision and damage during long-distance shipping.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: Small orders are not acceptable, due to CIQ requirement of the solid wooden products before exporting.
