As an alternative to the Compact Wire Ladder, the Wide Rung Wire Ladder provides a ladder that is easier to scale and can be used by individual with less specialized training. The ladder is used by units who drop the ladder down after securing it to a target to provide a simpler way to access the target.
The rungs are over double in width and are larger in diameter meaning it is easier to climb. The materials used in the construction do not differ from the Compact Wire Ladder and the finishing included the knurled grip patterning is the same.
