X-IT Ladder Features & Benefits
X-IT is The Safest, Strongest, Smallest, Lightest, Easiest To Use™ Emergency Ladder Available:
- Safest: The combination of benefits only offered by your X-IT Ladder make it safer to use then all other competing ladders. X-IT is the only emergency ladder that works with every window/wall thickness and width.
- Strongest: Your X-IT Ladder is designed and tested by applying a 1,000 lb load in the middle of any step. This is the same test done on professional ladders and exceeds ASTM standards for emergency ladders. No other emergency ladder comes close.
- Lightest: Your X-IT 2 Story Ladder is 6 lbs. Chain style 2 story emergency ladders are 15 lbs. Imagine a child putting a 15 lb large suitcase out a window! The weight differences become exponential as ladder length increases: X-IT is by far the lightest.
- Easiest To Use: Just hook your X-IT Ladder to the window and drop it outside, it will deploy automatically, tangle free. Other ladders require set-up and complicated deployment techniques. Chain ladders are known to tangle when deployed.
Why Does This Matter?
When you talk with fire survivors they tell dramatic tales of confusion, darkness and fear happening very quickly. Seconds count. Having a quick and safe 2nd way out can be the difference between life and death.
Ask a fire professional or any other person that works in harms way: they always without exception want the best gear or equipment available and know the value of having the best.
Other emergency ladders are inferior copies of the X-IT Ladder offered by companies that have discontinued ladders designed with chain or plastic materials.
Your award winning X-IT Ladder is better by design and made with the best materials. Your family’s safety is worth having the best.

FAQ
Will it fit in my window?
The X-IT ladder is designed to fit all window / wall dimensions. If your window sill protrudes past the inside wall face, it helps X-IT’s grapple hook transfer weight to the structure below, ensuring a weak sill will not affect its performance. If you do not have a window sill that protrudes past the inside wall face, then use X-IT’s permanent mount accessory bracket.
Is the X-IT Fire Escape Ladder reusable?
Yes, X-IT Fire Escape Ladders are reusable. X-IT advises safe practice with your X-IT ladder by reading all instructions, deploying your X-IT ladder, then climbing up a few steps from the ground, and following the repack instructions. Doing this confirms your application and trains you with your X-IT ladder so you can rest better knowing you’re prepared.
Will it work with my balcony railing?
Yes, X-IT’s grapple hook will secure to most edge conditions. First you must ensure the railing will support the intended load.
Will it work with my overhang?
Yes, the X-IT ladder will hang over and drop to the ground. Without wall support, your X-IT ladder functions like a rope with steps.
Is it returnable?
Yes, within 60 days for a full refund. After 60 days, a 10% restocking fee is charged.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, please order from contact@x-itproducts.com.
