Portable
: A hand carry strap allows quick and easy movement
through confined spaces. A backpack harness allows the ladder
to be carried on an individuals back, leaving the arms and hands
free to function at other tasks. |
| :: |
Adaptable
& Versatile : The Portal Ladder™, enhanced
with swivel hooks, are
being used for multi-story vertical scaling of buildings, tandem
staging entry with multiple ladders, quick assault on first floor
windows, over fences, and barricades...off-the-cuff applications
for entry, clearing, and escape. Effective for inside building
use where you want to avoid stairwells and other internal openings. |
| :: |
Night Use
Capability : The Portal Ladders™ are so easy
to deploy they can be effectively used in night time operations and even with night vision goggles. |
| :: |
Strength
: The Portal Ladder™ is manufactured from cast
aluminum alloy for the frame, extruded aluminum alloy for
the rungs, and stainless steel connecting pins. The 12' Portal Ladder
has been tested to meet the OSHA/ANSI strength and weight standards for a Class 1A working load rating of 300 pounds. |
| :: |
Lightweight
: The Portal Ladder™ is light and easy to carry
with the 14' Portal Ladder weighing slightly more than 36
pounds and the versatile 12' length at 31 pounds—light enough for a soldier to carry in battle.
- Reversible : The unique top foot/bumper allows the Portal Ladder to be set up and climbed in either direction making deployment in low light or harsh conditions easier.
- Muted Labels : The Portal Ladders are now marked with muted color labels to meet the Military requirements.

Compact
: The Portal Ladder™ in the folded position carries like a large briefcase or on the unique open style Back Pack to make transporting the ladder even easier and with out interfering with the soldiers arms and hands. A 12' Portal folds down to 2 feet wide, 14 inches high, and 4 inches thick. It can be easily stored in a small vehicle or a small compartment. Likewise, the job of moving a ladder from place to place is efficient due to its compactness, and ease of carrying by hand or backpack. |

Quick Retrieval
& Rapid Deployment : The Portal Ladder™
is deployed for use in less than 5 seconds. Carry into action
by hand or backpack. Great for confined spaces or hazardous
areas. Re-folding back to storage position is just as quick
and easy. Suited for two man deployment in confined spaces or
on uneven terrain. |

Multi-Story Access : By adding the Swivel Hooks (see Accessories) the Portal Ladder can now be suspended vertically from a higher opening or roof edge. Multiple ladders can now access much higher objectives. (Ladders are not joined together.) |
