The handle screwed next to the bathing ladder is almost as important as the ladder itself. Because without a handle it is difficult or even impossible to climb the rungs. Bathing ladders should not only enable the ascent after a refreshing swim, but also ensure that crew members who have fallen overboard can get on board. The good functionality is therefore also relevant to safety.

The bathing ladder can be built into the mirror. When pulling out, the handles also fold out
The Swedish manufacturer Båtsystem has developed a bathing ladder with integrated handles. The ladder is pushed together to save space. When pulling out, the steps and handles fold out at the same time. Grab handles on each side make it easy to get on board safely.

Here the four-stage variant, fully unfolded
The ladder is available in two versions with three and four steps; the former is 86, the longer 110 centimeters long. The ladder is inclined at 10 degrees, which makes it easy to get out of the water. The shorter version with three levels costs 595 euros, the four-level version 682 euros.
