The Over Platform Telescoping Ladder with Handle Bar family covers two configurations of the CHA-style boarding ladder, both built in 304 stainless steel with a high-polish finish and both featuring an integrated horizontal handle bar above the top step. The handle bar is a solid horizontal grip that gives swimmers a positive two-handed pull point while transitioning onto the platform — generally easier to use than vertical grab rails for re-boarding from the water. All variants are foldable, telescoping, with non-slip step treads, carry a 400 lb weight rating, and meet ABYC H-41 boarding-ladder requirements.
Picking the right one comes down to freeboard and mounting geometry. The 3-step B00301CHA (35" deployed, 12" overall width, 10-5/8" center-to-center, 1/4" fasteners) is the family workhorse for bowriders, family runabouts, deck boats, and pontoon stern platforms — typical mid-freeboard installations where three rungs reach the water. The 4-step B00351CHA (45-1/2" deployed, 12-3/8" overall width, 10" center-to-center, 5/16" fasteners) is sized for center consoles, walkarounds, express cruisers, and higher-freeboard deck boats where the fourth rung needs to drop below the waterline for solo re-entry.
Note that the 3-step and 4-step do not share the same mounting footprint or fastener size — the 3-step uses a 10-5/8" hole pattern with 1/4" fasteners; the 4-step uses a 10" pattern with 5/16" fasteners. This means swapping between them is not a drop-in change. Measure your existing center-to-center mounting pattern and fastener hole size before ordering. Confirmed fitment across the family includes Jupiter Marine, Pioneer Boats, Piranha Boatworks, Tidewater Boats.
