METAR LADDER METAR LADDER FITTINGS Vantrunk Metar cable ladder fittings incorporate several features which enhance the systems ease of installation. All Metar fittings are manufactured with the Metar Integral Coupler, thereby, reducing the number of fixings required to connect the ladder and fitting and in turn reducing the ladder to fitting connection time by 67%. The substantial reduction in the number of fixings and reduction in the number of couplers required helps to reduce top side weight in off-shore facilities. As in the cable ladder side wall, the cable ladder fitting side wall has an offset central webb to enhance stability under load conditions. All radius sections in the Metar range of fittings have a repeatable and true radius which eliminates the traditional “make it fit” approach during installation. METALOK INTEGRAL COUPLER FEATURES: All METAR fittings are manufactured with the Metalok Integral Coupler as standard; this represents a major advance in modern cable management design. The Metar Integral Couplers reduce: • The number of fixings required to connect the ladder and fitting, in turn reducing the ladder to fitting connection by 67%. • And therefore the overall installation time, weight and cost. 5 6
