Mast - Folding Mast Steps
Mast Steps are manufactured by Mast Products.
Mast Step is a lightweight, corrosion-free folding step for climbing masts or easier and safer sail stowing.
Mast Steps are manufactured from a special combination of nylon/glass fibre and purpose designed to deliver a safe working load of 140kg.
The Glass Nylon base material is UV stabilised and provides safe and secure footholds in many situations including: climbing or working on masts, getting in or out of large lockers or lazerettes, or climbing onto coach roofs or trailers.
N.B. Safety Advisory:
Although the steps provide a secure foothold, it is strongly recommended to always use a harness with a safety line attached when climbing a mast.
To calculate the approximate number of steps required, take the length of the mast in metres and multiply by 2.5.
