Rope Ladders do not seem
part of the security arsenal, but what
do you do if you are caught in an upper
floor situation?
Remember, if you are
in South Africa, the law states
categorically that you must provide safe
egress from your building
(see government
report at the bottom of this page)
Escape ladders are in
short supply, not only in the market but
also in the mind.
Most of us give
little attention to rope ladders, which
is an often
overlooked, but vital piece of security
equipment.

Metzco Rope
Ladders New Ladder Feature:
Interlinking Rope Ladders

This, patent-pending, "rope" ladder
rolls up into a small light-weight bundle and is
ready to drop over a wall, a balcony or out of a
window for easy and safe escape.
We also manufacture
Glass Fibre Rope Ladders for acidic
environments.


The special red
weather-proof metal boxes are an
optional extra at R4000 each
and are for arduous conditions in
factories and acid mines etc.
Our
STANDARD Rope Ladder is by far the most
superior and light weight Rope Ladder
found in the industry
*Loved by film directors to mining
personnel all over the world
The ideal rope ladder
is light-weight yet super-strong and
safe.
Be sure to have a
Metzco manufactured rope ladder installed now. "Just for the hang of
it"

SAFETY -
(Metzco ladders are certificated safe to
international OSHACT standards)
Metzco
emergency rope ladders are not made from
rope, which is cumbersome and inclined
to "tangle" easily, our ladders are made
from high strength UV resistant
polyester flat webbing and
multi-reinforced and secured. In fact,
our webbing straps can withstand well
over 2 tons (2000kg) each and we have four,
super-stitched with high-tensile,
silicone-impregnated UV resistant thread!
(feeling safe now?)
Our rungs are made
from a very special high grade
6063/T6, copyright protected, fluted, double
thick inner-wall, ribbed,
non-slip, anodised aluminium. De-burred
and countersunk for safe hand protection
whilst climbing.
These, virtually
unbreakable rungs, are
"housed" in a quadruple, slip-proof,
saddle stitched, sling-type, reinforced
webbing which is then secured with 4
large flange pop
rivets on each and every rung. This ensures
maximum strength and safety as well as
secured to prevent either longitudinal
or latitudinal movement and provides
friction protection shielding.
Each ladder is
pre-stressed to eliminate "stretch" and
the patented design is for perfect
centre-of-gravity hang for the most
comfortable and safe climb, up or down.
Each rope ladder is
hand made by the owner and his daughter of the company!!
Just as a sky-diver
is paranoid about his parachute, so are
we about our rope ladders!
Our rope ladders are
hanging all over the world and in some of South Africa's
critical industries, such as:

A Damsel in
distress has no worries with a Metzco
Rope Ladder

My daughter Kelsey
is now my boss and does the important
stuff while I just "hang around" this is
our longest ladder 60 meters to be used
by the Gauteng Water Board to inspect
dam walls - or just go fishing?
Accessories
are available for wall spacing or
special fixing situations as well as
loft or ceiling access via trapdoor.

Spacer Wheels
are the best option when requiring the
rope ladder to be separated from the
wall but still be able to roll it up and
stashed away in the Carry Bag.
If you require a
more permanent fixture then our U-Bar
is another alternative.

Another option available to our
customers are Webbing Handles.
These can be placed under the leader
(running over the first rung) or even
four rungs down the ladder. The option
is up to you.
*We can do
chain ladders on special request
Mounting
is
easy, quick and safe.
By using either
Rawl eye-bolts into a wall via the punched
holes or
using sling shackles via the 70mm loops,
your rope ladder will be stable and
secure. Our new certified bow shackles
will hold your ladder in place super
safe!!
Leaders
are reinforced with extra strong
strapping to reduce wear on the
webbing.
The
certified bow shackles can hooked into Rawl eye-bolt mounting
for securing the Rope Ladder to concrete or brick walls

Every Metzco
Rope Ladder comes with a generated serial number
along with a embroidered Metzco Badge.
*If you receive a
Ladder without either one of these, you
have not received a certified Metzco
Rope Ladder.


Carabiner
ends for quick release
with the use of a sling: - This
mounting is fairly common on balustrades
on balconies.
Chain leaders are used where there is
danger of sharp edges over which the
ladder must be hung, such as tanks etc.
We can also use wire rope if preferred.

Or fix 8mm
rawl eyebolts to inner window walls
and use carabiners for easy clip-on in
an emergency.
When
joining two rope ladders together we use
High Tensile bolts as shown.
FIRE ESCAPE
This is a typical home application
where inside staircase is locked for
security reasons and escape is
impossible. Also critical in cases of
fire.

the DVD for size comparison.

fall-arrest systems!
Required by law!
A
fall-arrest system consists of a
certified
harness which clips to an Altochute rope
grab which
acts similar to the safety belt
mechanism in
your car, if jerked or you fall, it
locks onto the rope keeping you safe.

Testimonials:-
We often get
reports back from satisfied clients, so
I thought it a nice idea to share some
of these with you. Of course the page
will be much too long if I use them all
:)
Hi Dave
Ladder arrived yesterday...Very
impressed with
everything, quality, ease of use, bag
enclosure, slings/snap hook, and Pass
Test Certificate. All good... I would
recommend your product to anyone. I
looked for a ladder for ages on ebay
finding nothing to suit my needs, until
of course I stumbled on your internet
site...
You might wonder what I am going to use
it for......My home is situated on top
of a large bush block of land far above
street level, and apart from a long,
steep series of rock steps is serviced
by an electric ` Inclinator` capable of
transporting people/goods etc. In
places the fall of the land is 2/3
metres below the Inclinator rail...all
very well provided there isn`t a power
failure/breakdown or
whatever!!! Hence your ladder, the
slings/snap hook system being ideal (and
Certified)
Once again thanks for a great Product
Dave
Regards Gerry (Australia)
Hi Dave,
Our work in South Africa is
completed today and I want to give
you feedback on the ladders we
bought back in June/July 2013.
We completed 6 towers during our
time at Secunda & Sasolburg and all
our crew stated that the ladders
were the best they have used to
date. I also was very glad we chose
the Metzco ladders as they suit our
needs perfectly, i.e. easily joined,
substantial anchoring points, a real
quality product.
I will be looking to purchase more
ladders in the near future for use
in UK, Europe & Middle East.

Hello Dave
Gerson says that the ladder is exactly
what we were looking for.
He was very impressed, especially at the
weight of the ladder.
We work at Illovo and Tongaat Sugar and
also the Pulp & Paper manufacturing
factories all through KZN and also up
Africa.
We will be sure to pass on your details
to all who are interested in the ladder.
Regards and thanks
