Certikin CM5UC/18 Premium 5-Tread Undercover Swimming Pool Ladder

As a retailer of pool and spa equipment, I’m excited to present this highly specialized Certikin 5-tread undercover ladder – the ultimate solution for deeper swimming pools equipped with automatic safety covers. This premium ladder represents the most advanced pool access technology available, combining the revolutionary two-part undercover design with extended 5-tread capability to solve the complex challenges of providing safe access to deeper pools while maintaining full automatic cover functionality.

Advanced 5-Tread Undercover Innovation

The CM5UC/18 represents the pinnacle of undercover ladder engineering, extending the innovative two-part design philosophy to accommodate deeper pool installations requiring 5-tread access. This sophisticated configuration addresses the unique challenges of deeper pools with automatic covers, where traditional solutions would either interfere with cover operation or provide inadequate access support.

This ladder solves the previously unsolvable problem of providing extended access to deeper automatic-cover-equipped pools without compromising the safety, functionality, or aesthetic benefits that make automatic covers essential for premium pool installations.

Revolutionary Deep Pool Compatibility

Unlike standard undercover ladders, this 5-tread version is specifically engineered for deeper automatic-cover-equipped pools typically ranging from 1.5m to 2.0m+ in depth. The extended step configuration ensures users have optimal access support while the innovative two-part design maintains complete compatibility with automatic cover systems.

The 5-tread undercover design is particularly valuable for luxury residential pools, commercial facilities, and therapeutic pools where deeper water is combined with automatic safety cover requirements that cannot be compromised.

Sophisticated Two-Part Engineering for Extended Access

Enhanced Dual-Mount System

The two-part construction separates the extended handrail system from the 5-step section, allowing automatic covers to operate without obstruction while providing the extended access necessary for deeper pool installations. The upper grabrail section mounts to the pool deck via flange fixings, while the 5-step section attaches to the pool wall in a position that doesn’t interfere with cover travel.

Deep Pool Integration Benefits

• Unobstructed cover operation despite extended ladder configuration
• Extended access capability for pools up to 2.0m+ depth
• Maintains pool safety when covered with no protruding elements
• Preserves aesthetic integrity of automatic cover installations

Premium Marine-Grade Construction with Extended Grabrails

Engineered from AISI 316 marine-grade stainless steel, this ladder delivers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance essential for the demanding conditions of extended undercover installations. The AISI 316 grade contains molybdenum (2-3%), forming protective chemical compounds that resist chloride-induced pitting corrosion, critical for installations where components experience both submerged and atmospheric exposure.

The robust 43mm (1.7″) diameter tube construction provides exceptional structural strength, particularly important for the extended 5-tread undercover configuration where the separated design must maintain structural integrity across both handrail and step sections while accommodating increased loading from the extended access system.

The included grabrail system provides additional support points essential for the extended access configuration, offering multiple grip positions that enhance safety and stability during entry and exit sequences.

Enhanced Safety Engineering for Deep Pool Applications

Advanced 5-Tread Safety Features

The extended undercover design incorporates enhanced safety considerations essential for deeper pools with automatic covers:

• Double safety top tread – critical for extended undercover installations
• Five stainless steel anti-slip treads providing secure footing throughout extended access sequence
• Extended grabrail system offering multiple grip points for enhanced stability
• Optimal step positioning ensuring safe access despite complex installation requirements

Professional Safety Standards for Extended Applications

This 5-tread undercover ladder complies with Domestic Pool Standard EN 16582-1:2015, with the enhanced safety features already incorporating elements required for commercial applications. The double safety top tread and extended configuration provide safety margins that exceed standard requirements.

Precision Engineering for Complex Installations

Dual-Mount Structural System

The handrail section utilizes flange fixings for secure deck mounting, while a specialized 5-step wall mounting system ensures optimal positioning and structural integrity. This dual-mounting approach must accommodate both the extended access requirements and the precise clearances necessary for automatic cover operation.

Advanced Installation Engineering

• Professional-grade flange fixings for secure handrail mounting
• Specialized wall mounting for extended 5-step section
• Precision alignment systems ensuring proper component integration
• Cover compatibility verification maintaining full automatic cover functionality

Superior Corrosion Resistance in Demanding Environments

Extended Submerged Performance

The 5-tread undercover design places an extended step section in permanently submerged conditions, making superior corrosion resistance absolutely critical. The AISI 316 construction provides exceptional performance where continuous water exposure, chemical contact, and limited circulation create particularly challenging conditions.

Marine-Grade Environmental Protection

The advanced construction specifically resists:

• Continuous submersion effects across extended surfaces
• Chemical stratification in covered pool environments
• Biofilm and bacterial growth in low-circulation areas
• Electrolytic corrosion from automatic cover systems
• Temperature cycling effects from covered operation

Made-to-Order Precision for Complex Applications

This sophisticated 5-tread undercover ladder is manufactured to order, reflecting the precision engineering required for successful integration with both deeper pools and automatic cover systems. The bespoke manufacturing process ensures each component meets the exacting specifications required for this complex application.

Enhanced Quality Assurance

Every 5-tread undercover ladder undergoes comprehensive testing including:

• Dimensional verification for automatic cover compatibility
• Structural integrity testing under extended loading conditions
• Component alignment verification across the two-part system
• Long-term performance validation in submerged environments

Professional Installation for Complex Systems

The 5-tread undercover design requires expert installation coordination between pool contractors, automatic cover manufacturers, and ladder installation specialists. The complex integration requirements make professional installation essential for both safety and functionality.

Installation Coordination Requirements

• Automatic cover manufacturer compatibility verification essential
• Structural assessment for dual-mount extended configuration
• Precision installation critical for safe extended access operation
• System integration testing ensuring full functionality of all components

Specialized Applications for Advanced Pool Systems

This 5-tread undercover configuration is designed for:

• Deeper pools with automatic safety covers requiring extended access
• Luxury residential installations with sophisticated pool systems
• Commercial facilities combining automatic covers with deeper water
• Therapeutic and training pools requiring both safety covers and extended access
• High-end architectural pools where cover systems cannot be compromised
• Premium installations where both safety and functionality are non-negotiable

Ultimate Performance Investment

The combination of 5-tread extended access with undercover design represents the ultimate solution for the most demanding pool applications. This ladder provides uncompromising performance in situations where no other solution can successfully balance extended access requirements with automatic cover compatibility.
