Product Description

The Xquip yacht ladder is designed to be safe, robust, lightweight, and foldable for easy storage. It is fully manufactured from carbon fiber and is available in matt, clearcoat finishes, or painted in any desired color. Optional accessories include padded storage bags and wall mounts for neat storage.

Design and Dimensions

The technical drawings include at least two orthogonal views (front, side, top, bottom) and one isometric view to provide a comprehensive understanding of the product geometry. Key dimensions such as length, width, thickness when folded, and fitting/socket sizes are clearly indicated to assist customers with installation and compatibility.

Example dimensions for the yacht ladder 500 standard include:

• Thickness folded: 210 mm
• Width folded: 566 mm
• Length folded: 1325 mm

Materials

The materials used are standardized and must be referred to by their exact names to maintain consistency across documentation and production. The approved material list includes:

• Stainless Steel 316L
• CuAl (Copper Aluminum alloy)
• Aluminium
• POM (Polyoxymethylene)
• Natural Rubber
• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Carbon Fiber
• PU coated foam
• Neoprene

Fittings and Sockets

Each fitting is paired with a specific socket, which is referenced by part number and displayed in a dedicated box on the drawing (usually bottom right). For example, the X-Socket anti-rotation fitting is identified by part number 20000001315.

Drawing and Documentation Standards

Drawings and sales leaflets must adhere to the following guidelines:

• Use specified fonts: Open Sans Light for description text (size 10), Open Sans SemiBold for subtitles (size 13), and Open Sans Light for titles (size 22).
• Include at least two orthogonal views and one isometric view.
• Highlight main and critical dimensions relevant to customers, such as installation size, fitting, and socket dimensions.
• Include a clear product description in English, which can be refined later by the marketing team.
• Photos or product renderings should be compressed to 460x280 pixels with a maximum file size of 60 KB to avoid file bloat, especially when using SolidWorks.
• Title blocks automatically populate part names, materials (for parts), and part numbers. For assemblies, main materials must be manually entered.
• Sales leaflets must be saved as PDFs with the prefix "Xquip" before the product name and stored in the NAS directory: /Xquip/4. Product Catalogue/0. Sales Leaflets.
• All documentation must be in English and exclude sensitive information to prevent competitive exposure.
