ABSTRACT:
The side ladder has upper and lower footpaces (1, 3) connected with side elements (5) on which a flight of steps (7) is hinged. A first actuator (11) is provided for withdrawing the ladder from a housing (15) on the boat and a second actuator (13) is provided for rotating the ladder about a horizontal axis. A leverage (21, 23, 27, 29) keeps the steps (7) and the lower footpace (3) in their horizontal position during rotation of the ladder. A piston and cylinder system (53) is provided for operating a handrail (41) and a further rotation of the ladder about a vertical axis can be carried out by a hydraulic motor (31).
