The Folding Mechanism

In an emergency this permanently installed fire escape ladder changes from a slim, drainpipe-like shape into a safe and sturdy means of escape. By leaning out of the window and pulling a lock-pin the ladder folds out and transforms into a solid fire escape ladder. This escape ladder is easy to climb and is suitable for children and the elderly. Click the diagram on the left to see how the Modum ladder unfolds in an emergency. We also have more pictures of the ladder unfolding in our picture gallery.

Multi-Storey Houses
The Modum ladder is suited for two and three storey buildings. Longer ladders can be provided on request. Each escape window can have its own release station with a lock-pin, which allows the section of ladder below the window to be opened.

In case of a three storey building the person at the top floor can release the entire ladder while the person at the first floor can release just the section below him. The sections can be opened in any sequence.
