Product Overview

The Saf-Escape portable ladder is the most commonly used fire escape ladder in the UK, designed for ease of use and quick deployment. Featuring hooks at the top of the ladder, these hook over the wall underneath the window, allowing the tangle-free chain and rungs to be deployed. The fire escape ladder is supplied with distance pieces which help to separate the rungs from the wall and enable good foothold whilst climbing down.

Additional Information

In an emergency, the hooks of the ladder are placed over the window sill and the chain is lowered out of the window. The escape ladder is then ready for for your descent. Distance pieces fixed on a number of rungs will keep your feet safely off the wall.

The ladder deploys tangle-free and includes 5 pairs of distance pieces. The distance pieces should be screwed in to the best positions suited to the building in question, ideally avoiding windows where possible.

Please note that a minimum window opening width of 13" (33cm) is required for the installation of this ladder.

  1. Measure distance B - the distance from the inside to the outside of the sill.
  2. Measure distance C & D - the overhangs of your window sill at each side of the wall.
  3. Subtract C & D from B - this will give you your wall thickness (measurement E).
  4. Check measurement A - if this measurement is more than 30mm, the ladder may not fit correctly, please call us for more information.
  5. If you need to contact us for help with your measurements please make a note of measurements F (external window sill height) & G (internal window sill height) along with the previous measurements - we will use these measurements to draw a diagram of your window and test the three different hook sizes against it.

Installation Instructions

Please note: Immediately after purchase the ladder needs to be deployed and the distance pieces fitted, as per the instructions included with your ladder.

Important: When you are happy with the placement of the distance pieces, ensuring that they are placed above and below any windows to avoid the window being broken during use, stand on the bottom rung of the ladder to ensure the wall is strong enough.

  • Place box with escape ladder underneath the window.
  • Place hooks over the entire window sill/ledge so that the hooks are touching both the outside and inside wall. The chain should be on outside with distance pieces facing the outside wall.
  • Lower the ladder out of the window section by section. Ensure that the chain does not tangle.
  • After use: Pull the ladder back into the room and check the ladder for damage. If any damage is noted please replace the ladder immediately. Place the end of the ladder into box first and layer chain into box, ensuring that the chain does not tangle. Place the hooks in the box last.

FAQs (3)
Q. Can the Saf-Escape ladder be fixed to a window where there is no internal window sill?
A.

Yes, the design of the Saf-Escape ladder does not require any sill to attach to. The hooks anchor on the wall below the sill on both the internal and external wall.

Q. What can I do if I am unsure which Saf-Escape hook size I need after taking all the measurements?
A.

If you are unsure which hook size you require because one measurement may be more than indicated on the diagram, please e-mail us your dimensions.

Q. What type of fire escape ladder is suitable for use with small children and pets?
A.

To be able to carry small children and pets down an escape ladder you would require a child harness or pet harness. These harnesses are suitable for use with all the escape ladders. The escape ladder that is most suitable for use with children, old enough to climb themselves, is the externally fixed Saffold ladder.
