INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SP56-137 STANDARD PLATFORM LADDER
STEP 4:
Once the mounting locations are marked on the undercarriage, use a 1” hole saw or large step bit
to drill through the exterior surface and main upper deck tube (see Fig. 19). Use caution when drilling into
tubing as there may be wiring or cables routed through the tube. The thickness of the structure you have drilled
through must be sufficient to support the fire escape ladder (at least .105” thick). Be sure that the entire area on
the skin of the 5th wheel where the fire escape ladder will be mounted is clear of any obstructions (see Fig. 20).

NOTE:
At this point, it is important to check the length of the bolts as compared to the size of the main
upper deck tube to which the ladder will be secured. If the bolts are too long for the anchor nut to have room
to fully expand, the bolts may need to be trimmed down.

Once the main upper deck tube is identified, make a mark on the skin of the 5th wheel which notes the location of
the main upper deck tubes. It is important the exact location is marked in order to ensure the ladder frame mount is
installed directly to the main upper deck tubes.
