ROPE LADDERS FOR
SALE
FIRE ESCAPE LADDERS
EMERGENCY ESCAPE LADDERS
Rope Ladders do not seem
part of the security arsenal, but what
do you do if you are caught in an upper
floor situation?
Remember, if you are
in South Africa, the law states
categorically that you must provide safe
egress from your building
(see government
report at the bottom of this page)
Escape ladders are in
short supply, not only in the market but
also in the mind.
Most of us give
little attention to rope ladders, which
is an often
overlooked, but vital piece of security
equipment.
This, patent-pending, "rope" ladder
rolls up into a small light-weight bundle and is
ready to drop over a wall, a balcony or out of a
window for easy and safe escape.
The ideal rope ladder
is light-weight yet super-strong and
safe.
Be sure to have a
Metzco manufactured rope ladder installed now.
"Just for the hang of
it"
SAFETY -
(Metzco ladders are certificated safe to
international standards)
Metzco
emergency rope ladders are not made from
rope, which is cumbersome and inclined
to "tangle" easily, our ladders are made
from high strength flat webbing and
multi-reinforced and secured. In fact,
our webbing straps can withstand well
over 2 tons (2000kg) and we have four,
super-stitched with high-tensile thread, tightly together!
(feeling safe now?)
Our rungs are made
from a very special fluted, double inner-wall, ribbed,
non-slip, anodised aluminium. De-burred
and countersunk for safe hand protection
whilst climbing.
These rungs are
"housed" in a quadruple, slip-proof,
saddle stitched, sling-type, reinforced
webbing which is then secured with 4 pop
rivets on each and every rung. This ensures
maximum strength and safety.
Each rope ladder is
hand made by the owner of the company!!
Just as a sky-diver
is paranoid about his parachute, so are
we about our rope ladders!
Our rope ladders are
hanging in some of South Africa's
critical industries, such as:
-
Mines in
Gauteng
-
Deep-sea divers in
Durban and Walvis Bay
-
CapeTown's
world famous Aerial Cableway Company
-
Illovo Sugar have
them hanging from their cranes in
Zambia
-
Metzco rope ladders are
hanging on all the 2010 soccer
stadiums in South Africa
-
Koeberg
Nuclear Plant in Atlantis Cape Town
-
Oil Rigs on
international waters rely on our
ladders
-
Tank access
in Portsmouth USA - yes we
export to USA
-
Slime dumps
in Tanzania
-
Too many others to
mention!
Many wise and
forward-thinking people are installing
these ladders as a means for ensuring
escape in time of emergency!!
These ladders could
be mounted in high-rise buildings so as
to afford escape, even from a 20 story
sky-scraper.
Metzco rope ladders
are recommended by highly reputable
architects in Sandton Johannesburg.

more recommendation?

This is the
guy who makes the rope ladders! (no
subcontractors)
(When he is
not "hanging" around)
Accessories
are available for wall spacing or
special fixing situations as well as
loft or ceiling access via trapdoor.
Mounting
is
easy, quick and safe.
By using either
rawlbolts into a wall via the punched
holes or
using sling shackles via the 70mm loops,
your rope ladder will be stable and
secure. Our new certified bow shackles
will hold your ladder in place super
safe!!
Leader end shackles
made from 8mm stainless steel
round bar
The holes
in welded plate
facilitate rawlbolt mounting
to concrete or brick walls
D Shackle ends
Snaphook
ends with eyebolts
Use
normal galvanised D shackles to secure
mounting in awkward
places. This
mounting is fairly common on balustrade
on balconies.
Or fix 8mm
rawl eyebolts to inner window walls
and use carabiners for easy clip-on in
an emergency.
(Optional extras = Rawlbolts, bags,
spacers)
FIRE ESCAPE
This is a typical home application
where inside staircase is locked for
security reasons and escape is
impossible. Also critical in cases of
fire.
A 20meter and 5 meter rolled up, notice
the DVD for size comparison.
All Metzco ladders are branded!
Our ladders are tested by D&M Load
Testing who are internationally
recognised!!

Hello Dave
Gerson says that the ladder is exactly
what we were looking for.
He was very impressed, especially at the
weight of the ladder.
We work at Illovo and Tongaat Sugar and
also the Pulp & Paper manufacturing
factories all through KZN and also up
Africa.
We will be sure to pass on your details
to all who are interested in the ladder.
Regards and thanks
