Video Transcript for Review of Jif Marine Boat Dock Ladders - Marine Retractable Floating Dock Lift Ladder - JIF56FR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this JIF Marine Retractable Floating Dock Lift Ladder. Now this ladder is kind of loosely assembled. I don't have all the hardware tightened down and I don't have this actually mounted down to my table. I just have it sitting on some blocks. So just kind of keep that in mind as we're walking through this demonstration together.

This does not include mounting hardware. That is something that you would have to pick up separately. So on your screen, I am including the part number for that mounting hardware. And you can just take that part number and pop it in the search field of our website and that will take you to that hardware and you can add that to your order. But this five step retractable dock ladder is going to be positioned above your waterline and bottom portion is going to slide up and down out of the water when this is not in use.

I do have this fully extended. And so let me just show you how this is going to work. So I'm just going to retract it here. I'm just going to lift it all the way up like so. And then what's going to happen here is we have these ledges here and the steps are actually going to sit on the ledges there and hold into place like so.

So as you can see, the bottom of the ladder here matches up with the portion of the ladder that's going to be mounted. And if you're wondering, the measurement from the dock that this is gonna be mounted on to the bottom here when this is fully retracted is about 15 inches. And then you're just going to, when you're ready to put it down, just let it down. And then you can set it at different levels by just dropping the planks or the steps into the ledge there. And then I'm just gonna fully extend it again just so it'll hold steady on my table like so.

So this is gonna be a very easy operation as you can see. This is going to mount on your dock and this is constructed of heavy duty anodized aluminum. So this is gonna be rust-proof and you're not gonna have to worry too much about corrosion or things like that collecting on this since it is aluminum. It's relatively lightweight and it weighs about 23 pounds. And the weight capacity of this ladder is 750 pounds. So that double rung locking mechanism is really great. It's gonna hold really well for you. It's gonna be really sturdy as you're making your way up and down this ladder. And then these do have coated cables here as you can see that's going to allow you to easily pull this ladder up and then let it down from the dock. So these coated cables are included with this. Now, just to give you some other measurements in case I didn't give you this measurement from the dock that this is sitting on or that this is gonna be mounted on to the bottom of the last step there is gonna be about 49 inches when this is fully extended. And then the handle height, let me go back up to my wide view here. The handle height is gonna be about 21 inches. And then the handle depth is going to be about 12 inches. And then the outer width from end to end about 21 inches. And then the inner width about 17 inches. And then the depth of each step or plank is gonna be right at two inches. And as I mentioned, this weighs about 23 pounds altogether. You do get an instruction sheet just to kind of guide you through the installation process but it's gonna be a very easy install. And so this is five steps altogether. Go back to my view here, lower view, one, two, three, four, five. But we do have some other options available too. So if you're looking for a ladder with not as many steps, we do carry GIFs three step and four step options as well. So if those fewer step options would work better for you, you can again take the associated part number there and put it in the search field or our website. That will take you to the quantity of steps that you're looking for. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
