C-Quip / Marine
01
Effortless access, engineered in carbon fibre.
Lightweight, beautifully finished and configured for the vessel. C-Quip swim ladders combine comfortable access with fast deployment and compact stowage.
Composite marine equipment / engineered to order
Overview
C-Quip swim ladders bring together pre-preg carbon fibre, sustainably sourced teak and considered ergonomics in a refined, easily handled system.
Designed for swim platforms and onboard pools, each ladder provides comfortable access without compromising the vessel's lines. Wide teak treads and oval handrails make movement in and out of the water feel natural, while the lightweight structure allows one person to carry, install and remove the ladder.
Once aboard, the ladder separates into two sections and the handrails fold inward for compact stowage. Each ladder can be configured around the vessel, with multiple widths, step counts, ladder angles, attachment types, rung styles and finish options available.

Why it works
Carbon fibre construction, teak treads and considered ergonomics, configured so the ladder can be carried, fitted and stowed.
01
Pre-preg carbon fibre creates a strong, lightweight structure that can be comfortably carried and positioned by one person. Sustainably sourced teak treads and corrosion-resistant fittings are selected for long service in the marine environment, while the hollow carbon fibre frame also allows the ladder to float.
02
Ergonomic oval handrails provide a natural grip, while wide non-slip teak treads and carefully considered spacing make movement in and out of the water feel stable and intuitive. Choose closed rungs for everyday access or open-sided dive ladder rungs for easier use while wearing fins.
03
The ladder can be quickly secured into straight or offset deck attachments. Once removed, it separates into two sections and the handrails fold inward, creating a compact package that can be stored in a tailored C-Quip carry bag.
Configurations
Each swim ladder can be specified around the platform geometry, waterline, ladder angle, storage requirements and finish of the vessel. Available angles of 7°, 12° and 20° accommodate a range of platform heights and boarding preferences. The following represent C-Quip's common configurations, with custom widths and lengths also available.
01
5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 step configurations are standard. 4-step ladders have also been produced, and configurations larger than 10 steps are available where required; 10 is not a hard limit.
02
The most common configuration is 650 mm wide. Other available widths are 400 mm, 700 mm and 950 mm. Custom ladder widths and lengths are also available.
03
Choose between straight and offset deck attachments to suit the geometry of the swim platform.
04
Choose closed rungs or open-sided dive ladder rungs for use while wearing fins.
05
Available in clear-coated carbon fibre or painted to complement the vessel's colour scheme.
06
The ladder separates into two sections and the handrails fold inward. A tailored carry bag is also available.
Technical information
Review the principal construction details and dimensions below. C-Quip can tailor the final configuration to suit the vessel's platform geometry, waterline and installation requirements.
| Dimension | Ref | 5 step | 6 step | 7 step | 8 step | 9 step | 10 step |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deck socket spacing (mm) | A | 650 | 650 | 650 | 650 | 650 | 650 |
| Hoop height (mm) | B | 905 | 905 | 905 | 905 | 905 | 905 |
| Socket centre to edge of platform (mm) | C | 50 to 340 | 50 to 340 | 50 to 340 | 50 to 340 | 50 to 340 | 50 to 340 |
| Top step to deck height (mm) | D | 0 to 340 | 0 to 340 | 0 to 340 | 0 to 340 | 0 to 340 | 0 to 340 |
| Water level to deck height (mm) | E* | 150 | 450 | 750 | 1,050 | 1,350 | 1,650 |
| Overall length, top of hoop to bottom step (mm) | — | 2,130 | 2,430 | 2,730 | 3,030 | 3,330 | 3,630 |
* Dimensions assume the top step is at deck level and three steps are below the waterline. Dimensions shown apply to C-Quip's most common 650 mm-wide swim ladder.
