Baintech SF30102-22 Telescopic Ladder – 3 Steps Marine & Caravan Access

Baintech SF30102-22 telescopic ladder provides compact access for marine boarding, caravan entry and vehicle-mounted applications

Baintech SF30102-22 telescopic ladder provides compact access for marine boarding, caravan entry and vehicle-mounted applications. This 3-step ladder extends to 875mm length with 178mm wide steps, delivering stable foot placement during boarding manoeuvres. The telescopic design collapses for storage in cockpit lockers, caravan external compartments and vehicle cargo areas where fixed ladders consume excessive space. Marine-grade construction withstands salt spray, UV exposure and constant wet/dry cycles that corrode standard aluminium ladders within seasons.

Designed for Australian boating and touring environments where space constraints demand collapsible access solutions. The 3-step configuration suits swim platform boarding, caravan door entry and rooftop access on 4WDs and motorhomes. Telescopic action allows single-handed deployment and retraction, critical when managing lines during docking or setting up camp in challenging conditions.

Key Specifications

• Step count: 3 steps
• Step width: 178mm
• Extended length: 875mm
• Construction: Marine-grade materials (corrosion-resistant)
• Operation: Telescopic collapse/extension
• Application: Marine boarding, caravan access, vehicle mounting

Features & Benefits

Compact Telescopic Storage: Collapses to a fraction of extended length for storage in cockpit lockers, caravan side compartments and vehicle cargo areas. Eliminates the space consumption and snag hazards of fixed or folding ladders in tight quarters.

3-Step Boarding Height: 875mm extended length provides comfortable boarding from swim platforms, pontoon docks and low caravan entries. The 3-step configuration balances reach with compact storage better than 2-step (insufficient height) or 4-step (excessive bulk) alternatives.

Stable 178mm Step Width: Wide step platform provides secure foot placement during wet boarding conditions, rolling anchorages and uneven ground under caravans. Reduces slip risk compared to narrow-step economy ladders.

Marine-Grade Construction: Corrosion-resistant materials withstand salt spray, bilge water exposure and coastal UV intensity that destroys standard aluminium ladders. Maintains structural integrity and safe working load across seasons of marine use.

Single-Handed Operation: Telescopic extension and collapse mechanism allows deployment while managing dock lines, holding equipment or maintaining three-point contact during rooftop access. Critical for solo sailors and caravanners managing setup without assistance.

Multi-Application Versatility: Functions equally well for swim platform boarding, caravan door entry, vehicle rooftop access and emergency egress from cabin tops. One ladder handles multiple access scenarios in marine and touring environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the collapsed length for storage?

Collapsed dimensions are not specified in the supplied documentation. Contact F.A.E. for collapsed length specifications to confirm storage compatibility with your locker or compartment dimensions.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

Safe working load specifications are not provided. For marine boarding and caravan access applications, verify load rating meets or exceeds user weight plus any gear carried during boarding before purchase.

How does the telescopic mechanism lock in place?

The locking mechanism type (twist-lock, pin-lock, friction-fit) is not specified. Contact F.A.E. for operational details on extension locking and safety features to ensure suitability for your application.

Can this be permanently mounted on a boat transom?

Mounting method is not specified. Depending on design, this may be a portable ladder requiring stowage after use rather than a permanently mounted swim platform ladder. Confirm mounting options with F.A.E. before purchase.

Is this suitable for rooftop tent access on 4WDs?

The 875mm length and 3-step configuration may be suitable for rooftop tent access depending on vehicle height. Verify extended length provides adequate reach for your specific vehicle and roof height before purchase.
