The Delta Tactical Ladder (DTL) is a unique assault tactical ladder system that uses its’ carbon fibre ladder rungs to form an extension pole that can place a Helix Urban Hook.  

 

The system gives a hook and pole system that is very compact, light, fast and quiet to deploy and also very strong. The ladder comes with a Helix Urban Hook and Ghost Carabiner to give a complete hook and pole capability for urban environments.

 

The system was designed by a former Delta operator to provide a practical solution to access issues he had encountered whilst in the field. 

 

The DTL is far more packable than a standard carbon pole and can be used both to gain access to first floor access points and also for continuous ‘at height’ movement when an extremely lightweight and quiet option is required.  Tasks such as moving from balcony to balcony, diagonal platform transitions and multi-stage building climbs in urban environments become viable whilst carrying a minimal package. The ladder is also a game changer for small vessel boarding for specialist dive units, again due to the compact nature of the system. 

 

Made with braided Kevlar para-aramid rope and carbon fibre rungs the DTL is extremely lightweight at just 1kg / 2.2lbs for the 3.0m/10ft system and 1.34kg / 3lbs for the 4.9m/16ft system.

 

The system is comprised of:

The DTL’s overall tensile strength exceeds 5000lbs/2200kg allowing the end user to customize the ladder system to best fit the scenario and objective. 

 

The steps/rungs are made to easily fit within the next step/rung which creates a stiff pole with a single hook on the end to deploy up to 16ft with one ladder. Once the hook is secure, a gentle tug releases the steps/rungs to create the ladder itself. The DTL is easy to deploy and climb. 

 

Each DTL is designed to attach to the bottom of another DTL giving end users an extended reach – the ladder system is recommended for free hanging climbs up to 8.5m/28ft in a free suspension situation.
