Helicopter Ladders

We provide ladders not just for helicopters, we have supplied ladders to oil rigs, fighter jet simulators, embassy's, apartment buildings, residential homes and various other locations all around the globe... but our greatest delight is seeing so many used for these 'surveyors of the sky'.
Our rope ladders are designed with the user in mind, from the specially designed rungs to the extra strength webbing and saddles that are used to clamp it all together... everything is in perfect balance and user friendly. Making our ladders the best option for anyone in the helicopter industry to use.

Aluminum Rope Ladder

Our Aluminum Rope Ladders are our most requested Rope Ladder as it is lightweight and compact.

As can be seen from these images, our ladders are actually made from super-strong polyester webbing also certified and UV stable as well as resistant to abrasion, each layer has a breaking strain in excess of 2000kg. These webbing ladders are far superior to actual rope as they are stronger, lighter and far more stable to climb. We produce Fire Escape Webbing ladders, Industrial Webbing Ladders as well as aircraft webbing ladders used in helicopter applications for movies, military and sea rescue and much more.

*All Metzco Rope Ladders come with International Safety Certificates to OSHACT D.M.R. 18/5

So which helicopters can use our ladder?

Some might think this is an easy answer and in truth it is. In all honesty, so long as you have a place to anchor the ladder then it can be used anywhere and on any helicopter.
For example, the most well known helicopter, the Bell 206 JetRanger, can use our ladder just as easily as the Eurocopter AS350 Ecureuil (which recently had a ladder installed in it - they offer tourist flights around their area) or the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk or the Bell 47 or even the Mil Mi-2 or Robinson R44... the list is endless.

Many wise and forward-thinking people are installing these rope ladders as a means for ensuring escape in time of emergency!!

These ladders could be mounted in high-rise buildings so as to afford escape, even from a 20 story sky-scraper.

Metzco rope ladders are recommended by highly reputable architects in Sandton Johannesburg as well as in many countries worldwide.

NEW DESIGN

Emergency escape Metzco 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 two, 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, anodized aluminum. De-burred and countersunk for safe hand protection whilst climbing.

These, virtually unbreakable rungs, are "housed" in a particularly super-strong patented method of trapped-in-place by 60% glass-filled nylon saddles and secured with 12 pop-rivets on each 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 center-of-gravity hanging for the most comfortable, stable and safe climb, up or down.
