Frequently Asked Questions
What type of wood is used for pilot ladder steps?
Our pilot ladder wooden steps are manufactured from selected high-density hardwood, typically teak or oak. These woods are chosen for their natural resistance to moisture, rot, and marine borers, ensuring long service life in saltwater environments.
Are these steps compliant with international safety regulations?
Yes, the dimensions and construction of our wooden steps are designed to conform to IMO and SOLAS requirements for pilot ladders. They are suitable for use on vessels operating under international regulations.
Can these steps be used as replacements for existing pilot ladder steps?
Absolutely. These steps are engineered as direct replacements and come with pre-drilled mounting holes to match standard pilot ladder side rope spacing. You can easily replace damaged or worn steps on your existing ladder.
Do the steps require any special maintenance?
While the wood is naturally durable, we recommend rinsing with fresh water after exposure to saltwater and periodic inspection for wear or cracking. If the anti-skid grooves become worn, the step should be replaced to maintain safe footing.
