Our ladders take up minimal space and can be stored in a dedicated cabinet, protected from weather and wind. This prevents unnecessary wear and extends their lifespan while reducing replacement needs.
Our design builds on a modular construction with a simple click-connection for each step. This makes maintenance or part replacement easy without special tools or the need to disassemble the entire ladder.
Steps and fastenings are made of high-quality injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced plastic, with straps securely attached to each step. This ensures a combination of lightweight, strength, and durability.
Argostep is significantly lighter than traditional wooden ladders. The clickable extension poles provide good stabilization, and both assembly and disassembly can be done quickly when needed.
Our ladders have undergone extensive testing and received approval from the Norwegian Maritime Authority for use on Norwegian ships. Collaboration with shipping companies and maritime organizations has been key to developing a reliable and user-friendly design.

NorthWestCoast was founded by three entrepreneurs from Ålesund. With support from local investors and organizations such as Innovation Norway and Ålesund Municipality, we have developed a ladder that sets new standards for safety and efficiency.
Our ladders are proudly produced in Sunnmøre, with components from local suppliers. This ensures high quality and supports the local industry.
