METAR Reducers are used to create coplanar reductions in
widths between adjoining straight ladders and between straight
ladders and fittings of the same ladder type, fulfilling the same
role as short and long adjustable couplers but using a purposemade
fitting capable of self-support as part of a cable run.

METAR Straight Reducers (RS reducer straight) are used to create a concentric reduction,
having an equal width reduction along both sides. Left hand reducers (RL reducer left) and right
hand reducers (RR reducer right) are used to create offset reductions to suit particular installation
requirements. Left hand reducers have the width reduction on the left when viewed from the
primary width. Right hand reducers have the width reduction on the right when viewed from the
primary width.
METAR reducers are available for use across the full range of METAR cable ladder widths to
facilitate width changes from the widest to the narrowest width and all possible combinations in
between. The METAR Reducer has an overall length of 500mm irrespective of ladder type and
width reduction.

All METAR Reducers are now manufactured with a Metalok Integral Coupler, removing the need
for separate couplers in the joining mechanism between cable ladder fittings and straight lengths of
ladder. All METAR Reducers will be supplied with all necessary fixings.
Each reducer has two rungs as standard. The reducer rungs are orientated with the open face
uppermost to suit the use of cleats and similar cable restraint devices. This allows compliance with
current recommendations for cable restraint, especially where cables are used which have a high
potential fault current level.
