JRB: I put this on a swim raft. I did not use the swivel up position because of that. Easy to install. I have six grandkids that use it. Solid construction with nice round tubing that is easy on the hands for climbing up and down. Also, the steps are welded in place so no assembly needed.

JG on the Bay: 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?

Mike Desgagne: The only problem I came across was the hole to lock the ladder didn’t line up properly when in the up position.

Lynne Bamford: We got exactly what we were expecting and have installed it on our new dock. It came in just a couple of days and was easy to install.

Michael Purcell: This was a replacement for an existing ladder that got trashed by ice last winter. This ladder was EASY to install and very heavy, especially in comparison to my old one. This should last forever if it lives up to its build quality.

Damon Jensen: Should have two pins to hold it up but as they say, you get what you pay for. Ok for the money

BDP: 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...
