Extreme Max3005.3476 Heavy-Duty Aluminum Flip-Up Dock Ladder with Comfort Use Round Tube Frame and 21" Wide Steps - 5-Step, 300 lbs. Weight Capacity

I am sure this ladder will provide long service given the welded aluminum is robust. I live in an area where Metric hardware (M8-6 nuts, bolts, fiber nuts) virtually impossible to find. You can order 2 to 4 bolts and nuts online from any source I know. Thus being an engineer I just used SAE alternative hardware in stainless steel and or zink coated.For M8 try 5/16"X 3" works fine for the attachment of the hand rail to mounting plate (Extrememax's terminology reference their installation instructions.)For M6 use 1/4 20 X 2 1/2" for attachment of the hand rail to the step section. I was able to find countersunk heads which fit flush.You will have access threads on both the 5/16" and 1/4 20 after securing your fiber nuts. Leave them alone or Dremel them flush with a cut off wheel. I am leaving mine as is for the moment to see if I need to re-tighten.I plan to add another lock up pin to the other side of the hand rail as I get some very strong winds where I live.This is a quality piece and I was aware from reading the write ups that no hardware is provided. This is a shame as many of us don't have access to a true hardware store for metric. Forget ACE, Lowe's HD they do not carry it. I used HD to obtain SAE equivalents. I put the cross reference in this post to hopefully aid someone planning to install this. It is very simple to install and I hope the hardware reference with lengths helps someone not have to figure this out themselves. I didn't include hardware suggestions regarding attaching the mount to the dock or where you plan to use it as there is too much variability. I used a large stainless steel lag bolt with washer into my front 2X6 that my synthetic deck boards are attached and 1/4 20 with washers and fiber nut for rear attachment to my synthetic decking.

Good price for a well-made dock ladder. Easy assembly and installation - just make certain the support brackets are parallel. If out of square by over about 1/8", the pin is hard to remove/replace.Only small complaint is that when the ladder is up, the bottom side of the rungs fills with water. Probably no long-term ill effect, but who knows?

The ladder instructions are good. It assembles easily.It is very sturdy and solid. I highly recommend this product!

The Extreme Max Heavy Duty Flip-Up Dock Ladder is a solid, well-built ladder that’s perfect for my dock. The round tube frame feels sturdy, and the steps are comfortable to use, even for bare feet. Installation was straightforward, and the flip-up feature makes it easy to keep out of the water when not in use. My only minor complaint is that it could use a bit more padding or coating to prevent scratches on the dock. Overall, it’s a durable and reliable ladder that gets the job done. Definitely worth considering for any dock setup.

I love this ladder! It's been on our dock for several years and is as good as new. It's easy to pull up & lock into place when we're done using it to keep it cleaner for the next time!

I used this on an EZ-dock rather than buy one of their expensive proprietary ladders. I built an adapter plate of high-quality plywood, coated with marine polyurethane and attached to the dock's cleat fittings and accessory pockets. This ladder is easy to assemble, is well-built with consistent welds at all the seams. It is very sturdy in both the up and down positions. It easily handles my weight (230#), yet is also suited for small children with wide, flat rungs and a solid arch to grab onto. Being able to keep the ladder out of the water when not in use avoids marine growth and keeps it looking good, yet the mechanism is simple and solid. Overall, I am very satisfied with this solution.

We replaced our old ladder that was similar in style (to lift out of water when not in use) but it was painted (which deteriorated quickly)...and it filled with water, so when it was down, it was very difficult for children to lift out when they were finished swimming. This was easy to install. Just be sure to buy the hardware for that because it is not included. (But plainly written on the box) It is excellent quality. Just wish we would have replaced our old ladder sooner!

Good product, looks good, works good, and easy to install
