Certikin CM4CB/18 Premium 4-Tread Swimming Pool Ladder

As a retailer of pool and spa equipment, I’m pleased to offer this exceptional Certikin 4-tread swimming pool ladder that represents the pinnacle of safety, durability, and engineering excellence. This premium ladder is specifically designed to provide secure, comfortable access to your swimming pool while withstanding the demanding conditions of both residential and commercial aquatic environments.

Superior Marine-Grade Construction

This ladder showcases Certikin’s commitment to quality through its construction from AISI 316 marine-grade stainless steel – the gold standard for aquatic applications. Unlike standard stainless steel, AISI 316 contains molybdenum which provides exceptional resistance to pitting corrosion caused by chlorine and salt water systems. The molybdenum content (2-3%) forms protective chemical compounds within the steel that specifically guard against chloride-induced corrosion, making this ladder ideal for both traditional chlorinated pools and modern salt chlorinator systems.

The entire structure utilises 43mm (1.7″) diameter tube construction, providing superior strength and stability compared to thinner alternatives. This robust framework ensures the ladder can handle heavy usage in commercial settings while maintaining its structural integrity for decades.

Advanced Safety Features

Anti-Slip Tread Technology

Each ladder comes equipped with stainless steel anti-slip treads as standard, providing secure footing even when wet. These treads feature a textured surface design that maximizes grip while remaining comfortable underfoot.

Protective Design Elements

The ladder incorporates several thoughtful safety features:

• Rubber shoe protection at the foot of the ladder minimizes wear and tear on both the pool wall and the ladder itself
• Smooth, rounded edges eliminate sharp corners that could cause injury
• Optimal tread spacing provides comfortable and safe step intervals

Professional Safety Standards

This ladder fully complies with Domestic Pool Standard EN 16582-1:2015, ensuring it meets the latest European safety requirements for residential pool equipment. For commercial applications requiring compliance with EN 13451-2:2015, additional double treads can be ordered for all tread positions.

Revolutionary Pinch Anchor System

The ladder features Certikin’s innovative 1.7″/43mm pinch anchor system – a significant advancement in pool ladder installation technology. This pinch anchor design is based on the proven 1.5″/38mm model but scaled up for enhanced security and stability across all types of pool surrounds.

Installation Advantages

• Universal compatibility with concrete, tiled, and composite pool surrounds
• Secure, permanent fixing that eliminates ladder movement
• Simplified installation process compared to traditional anchor systems
• Enhanced load distribution across the pool deck

Corrosion Resistance Excellence

Salt Water System Compatibility

This ladder is specially designed for swimming pools with salt equipment, utilizing higher quality steel to avoid corrosion caused by electrolysis. AISI 316L stainless steel is highly corrosion resistant and most recommended for chemically treated water environments, especially in systems with salt electrolysis.

Chemical Resistance

The marine-grade construction provides exceptional resistance to:

• Chlorine and chlorine compounds
• pH adjustment chemicals
• Salt water and brine solutions
• UV radiation and weather exposure

Long-Term Durability

The AISI 316 grade steel ensures an excellent level of corrosion resistance, while the precision manufacturing process creates a smooth, non-porous surface that resists bacterial growth and simplifies maintenance.

Professional Installation Features

Protective Film System

The ladder arrives with all stainless steel treads and escutcheons protected by a scratch-resistant film that should be removed after installation. This ensures your ladder maintains its pristine appearance during transport and installation.

Quality Assurance

Every component is manufactured to exacting standards, with precision welding and finishing that reflects Certikin’s reputation for technical innovation and quality. The manufacturing process includes rigorous quality control measures to ensure consistent performance.

Ideal Applications

This 4-tread configuration is perfect for:

• Medium depth pools (typically 1.2m to 1.5m depth)
• Residential swimming pools of all types
• Community and club facilities
• Commercial aquatic centres (with additional safety treads if required)
• Both concrete and liner pool installations

Maintenance and Care

The AISI 316 construction dramatically reduces maintenance requirements compared to standard materials. Regular visual inspections and occasional cleaning with fresh water will maintain the ladder’s appearance and safety. The stainless steel surface naturally maintains its protective oxide layer, providing ongoing corrosion resistance.
