Foldable Emergency Escape Ladder (13 feet / 4 meters) – Safe Evacuation for 2 Stories

Prepare your family or employees for an emergency evacuation. This escape ladder is an essential safety tool for any two-story building. Designed to be deployed in seconds, it provides a secure alternative exit when primary exits or stairways are blocked by smoke or flames.

WARNING: This is a single-use ladder. The rungs are held by a special release strap. Once this strap is cut, the ladder must not be refolded and reused. Refer to the instructions manual linked under the Download tab for more information.

The ladder can support up to 454 kg (900 lbs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the ladder reusable?

While built for durability, these ladders are typically designed for one-time use during a real emergency to guarantee material integrity. However, we recommend practicing the attachment process on your windowsill (without deploying the full ladder) to become familiar with the mechanism.

Can it be installed on any window?

It fits most windows with a sill thickness between 6 and 10 inches. It is important to verify compatibility with your specific window frames before an urgent need arises.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

This ladder is tested to support multiple people simultaneously (high static load), but it is always advised to descend one person at a time to maximize stability and safety.

Is this ladder suitable for a 3rd story?

No, this 13-foot model is specifically designed for 2-story buildings. For a 3rd-story evacuation, you must use the 25-foot model (ECHELLE25).

OHS Expert Advice

"Don't leave the safety of your loved ones to chance. Owning an escape ladder is only half the battle: ensure that every household member knows where it is stored and how to hook it up. Conduct an evacuation drill once a year to reduce panic during a real fire emergency."
