E-Step is an electric stepladder available in 2 versions with 3 and 4 steps that have a variable width and allow comfortable descent and ascent when approaching the platform. A 100% made in Italy product, it has an original pantograph system inspired by Milan’s streetcars: precisely because of the special shape of its arms, E-Step opens at a greater angle than other scissor folding systems to go deeper and gain convenient access to get in and out of the water. An all-electric system, E-Step is extremely quiet and is operated with a simple switch or a remote control unit that can be installed upon request.

Founded in 1976, Douglas Marine has always stood out for being a promoter of the introduction of the use of stainless steel in the nautical field: in fact, it was the first company to make compression mooring dampers, thus going on to revolutionize the sector. In a market dense with competitors, the historic company born in Milan, and which has always operated in the hinterland of the Lombard capital, therefore wanted to patent all the numerous projects introduced in the sector, both in the field of mooring and anchoring, securing the primacy for innovation and solution.

The best shock absorbers on the market: the high-strength line is ideal for boats up to 40 meters and is the result of years of research, testing and experience. These devices provide progressive dampening action, have an internal end stop and do not require a retaining chain. They have minimal overall dimensions and weights, reduced by up to a quarter compared to equivalent marine shock absorbers on the market, thanks to the use of components such as HR stainless steel, special elastomers with unchanged properties from -40°C to +120°C, and tested resistance to more than 400,000 cycles at maximum compression.
