Made of sturdy marine-grade aluminum, a finger pier ladder is the perfect addition for small piers. The innovative design takes up a minimum of space for areas where keeping clear may be difficult, such as narrow fixed piers and walkways. Available in 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 -step models, this is an excellent solution to the problem of making it easy to get out of the water without taking up room on an already narrow pier and preventing crowding in limited spaces.

While being in the water at a pier or dock is not often a goal that people have, accidents and incidents happen that lead to that precise situation; a finger pier ladder is one solution for making it easier to get out of the water and onto the dry surface of the dock or pier. Ladders of this type can be made of a variety of materials, and depending on depth of water and height of the dock from the water, different situations call for different sizes. It is important to consider the longevity and overall safety of any ladder that you install on your pier; while models can be made of plastic and other materials that are not as expensive, these products typically also do not last as long, requiring frequent replacement. There are many safety and security features to keep in mind when buying structures and supplies for a marina, pier, or dock. One of these that is sometimes overlooked is the need for an easy way to get into and out of the water. Ladders of many kinds make it safer for people to retrieve items or individuals, as well as to get out of the water if they have fallen in for any reason. Of course, not all ladders are suitable for all situations; for small or narrow spaces, a finger pier ladder is the best choice, as this type is designed to take up a minimum of space. Narrow piers and docks present issues for safety equipment; while there is certainly a need for structures and supplies, space is limited, and the last thing that any dock owner wants is to crowd the area, which not only makes using safety equipment less efficient, but also makes it more difficult to access and increases the risks of other injuries. Finger pier ladders are designed to take up a minimum of space both on the top of the deck and along the side, dipping into the water, which provides for a solution to two problems at once. Not all piers are created equal, and not all are made to the same dimensions. When considering the best finger pier ladder to purchase, it is a good idea to measure the height of the pier, and determine how much of the ladder should be in the water itself. Some finger pier ladders have lifting mechanisms in order to prevent marine life growth on the structure, while others are covered in a protective coating for the same reasons. This finger pier ladder comes with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 steps for ease of use and convenience, and is made of marine-grade aluminum to stand up to years of use without corrosion or breakage. The materials used in a finger pier ladder are an important consideration. Marine grade aluminum is manufactured specifically to resist the harsh elements present in a marina or dock setting; while plastics such as PVC may provide a cheaper solution, they are often not as durable as aluminum treated in this way, and will have to be replaced more frequently. As an investment, a sturdy aluminum ladder is ideal, because it will last for several years without the need for replacement, as well as providing an aesthetic appeal with its graceful design. Making it possible for people to extricate themselves or others out of the water in the event of accident or incident is an important safety feature for any dock of any size. A finger pier ladder makes this necessity easy to fulfill, and choosing one made of aluminum will provide lasting value for the money spent on the equipment—something that anyone can appreciate.
