Saf-Escape Fire Escape Ladder

In an emergency, the hooks of the ladder are placed over the window sill and the chain is lowered out of the window. The escape ladder is then ready for for your descent. Distance pieces fixed on a number of rungs will keep your feet safely off the wall.

The ladder deploys tangle-free and includes 5 pairs of distance pieces for the 14 ft ladders, or 8 pairs for the 23 foot and 15 pairs for the 45 foot ladders. The distance pieces are screwed on by the customer in positions best suited for the building in question.

Please note that a minimum window opening width of 13" (33cm) is required for the installation of this ladder.

The Saf-Escape ladder selection covers most wall thickness ranges. The hooks come in three sizes to fit up to 10 inch, 10 to 14 inch and 14 to 18 inch wall thickness. However, excessive sill overhangs (more than 3 inches) might lead to an incorrect fit of the ladder. If in doubt, please contact us.

Choosing the right hook size

Measure your wall thickness and choose the adequate hook size

How do I measure my wall thickness ?

 

1. Measure distance B - the distance from the inside to the outside of the sill.
2. Measure distance C & D - the overhangs of your window sill at each side of the wall.
3. Subtract C & D from B - this will give you your wall thickness (measurement E).
4. Check measurement A - if this measurement is more than 30mm, the ladder may not fit correctly, please call us for more information.
5. If you need to contact us for help with your measurements please make a note of measurements F (external window sill height) & G (internal window sill height) along with the previous measurements - we will use these measurements to draw a diagram of your window and test the three different hook sizes against it.

Please note: Immediately after purchase the ladder needs to be deployed and the distance pieces fitted, as per the instructions included with your ladder.

Important: When you are happy with the placement of the distance pieces, ensuring that they are placed above and below any windows to avoid the window being broken during use, stand on the bottom rung of the ladder to ensure the wall is strong enough.

• Place box with escape ladder underneath the window.
• Place hooks over the entire window sill/ledge so that the hooks are touching both the outside and inside wall. The chain should be on outside with distance pieces facing the outside wall.
• Lower the ladder out of the window section by section. Ensure that the chain does not tangle.
• After use: Pull the ladder back into the room and check the ladder for damage. If any damage is noted please replace the ladder immediately. Place the end of the ladder into box first and layer chain into box, ensuring that the chain does not tangle. Place the hooks in the box last.
