SUPER Skamper Ramp Dog Pet Boat Pool Dock SKR3
First, we are happy to say this is a 100% AMERICAN MADE product.
The SUPER SKAMPER may be used as a means for escape, and frequent use for all animals from any water source. It is made for larger animals but may be used for smaller animals as well. It will not yellow, become scummy, grow barnacles, or mildew when left in water (salt water, fresh water, pool water...)
Because all living beings see white, animals can see it—day or night—and, even if they can't use a step (ducklings, snakes, baby possums), they can "skamper" out of the water on the ramp by themselves!
The Super Skamper-Ramp is a blowmolded, white polyethylene assembly, recyclable, chemical- and UV-resistant, with nylon rope, washers, and non-rusting D-ring-clips for attaching.It snaps together but needs to be mounted to the pool deck, walled pond/canal/bulkhead, or floating dock. While it was designed for emergency escape it will withstand more frequent use, even the weights of very large pets and animals.
Q. How does it work?
Because it is made of heavy-duty plastic, it is a deceptively simple-looking product. But behind that design there is a significant amount of engineering, science and testing. The primary science is that ALL living beings - domestic or wild; bugs, animals, or humans; colorblind or not - see at the wavelength that is the color white. When trapped, day or night, they see it and go to it to keep their heads out of water and for escape. Skamper-Ramp provides peace-of-mind to pet owners and animal lovers since it provides protections against drowning, day or night, 24/7.
Skamper-Ramp must be installed so that a few inches of the "nose" (curved) end are under water and the ramp breaks the water's surface, enabling the animal to see it at eye level in the water. The "open-box-top" end (closest to the pool wall) must be very snug against a vertical wall in order to provide the rigidity necessary for an animal to "skamper" out on the ramp — whether it's a pool (commercial or private), floating or fixed dock, walled pond, spa, bulkhead, reservoir, canal, stern of a boat, or stock tanks and water troughs in pastures and remote ranchland.
You'll notice the decorative pattern (created by the traction and flow holes) catches the animal's interest but there are no colors on Skamper-Ramp because not all animals see colors, but ALL animals see white. Skamper Ramp is the only water rescue device on the market that is a ramp and provides any animal with an escape from drowning—allowing exit from the water on their own!!
Q. How does it install to a boat or a dock?
A. Because Skamper-Ramp was originally designed for use in pools, dock installation is easy if there is a vertical face to the dock. Simply tie both rope ends to one cleat and make sure the ramp is snug to the dock face.
Boat installation often requires some ingenuity, and awareness that chop may “kick it up”. Outboard motors, are the easiest – simply brace the ramp on the stern alongside a motor and tie both ropes to one stern cleat.
With a swim ladder, some people re-lace the rope to the set of holes below the Skamper-Ramp logo and then tie it around the ladder rails, and brace it between the top rung and the bottom of the platform, so that the underside of the platform keeps the ramp from going vertical.
With a large platform that is high off the water, some people put eye hooks on the underside of the platform about 6” back from the end. Then re-lace the rope so that you can tie the ramp through the eye hooks and back down through the ramp, allowing the ramp to stay dragging behind and under the boat. The advantage to this is that in chop it won’t kick up and the underside of the platform allows a brace so the ramp doesn’t go vertical.
The back (“open box”) end of the ramp requires approximately 5” of a vertical surface to brace against, or must have the underside of a rigid horizontal surface to brace against. As with pool installation, the ramp also must have at least 3” submerged beneath the water. We will honestly tell you that if your boat gunwale is too high out of the water (like many sailboats), has a sloped transom/stern or no place to “create” a brace, it may not be appropriate for your boat.
On the other hand, we have had a number of customers tell us that they “will figure it out and make it work”….essentially, where there is a will, there’s a way! There are other options for boats our doggydocks available in our ebay store as well as other options that are coming!! Hey, we're from Florida we have to sell products that sell to our clientele here on the water!!
