For over a decade, LakeEze has been at the forefront of dock innovation, creating products that redefine convenience, durability, and functionality for waterfront living. At the heart of our journey is the LakeEze Ladder—a product that has undergone years of meticulous research, development, and refinement to become the industry leader it is today. While imitation products may exist, true innovation can’t be copied. The LakeEze Ladder is the result of tireless engineering, rigorous testing, and a deep commitment to delivering the best dock access solution on the market.
Where It All Began
The story of the LakeEze Ladder started nearly 15 years ago with our parent company, Kroeger Marine, a leader in custom dock-building for over four decades. We saw firsthand the frustration dock owners faced with traditional vertical ladders—difficult to climb, uncomfortable, and lacking durability.
Dock owners wanted more than just a way to get in and out of the water—they needed a safer, more accessible, and user-friendly solution for people of all ages (and even pets). The mission was clear: create a ladder that didn’t just work but transformed the dock experience entirely.
The Evolution of the LakeEze Ladder
2013-2015: The First Generation – Easy Climb Ladder V1
In 2013, we introduced the first version of what would later become the LakeEze Ladder: the Easy Climb Ladder. This groundbreaking design featured:
-
A gentle incline that mimicked stairs, making it far easier to climb than traditional vertical ladders.
-
A more user-friendly structure, making water access possible for a wider range of users, including children and pets.
While customers immediately saw the benefits, we knew there was room for improvement. The first version had limitations—it didn’t reach deep enough into the water, and we saw opportunities to enhance durability and usability.
2016-2021: The Second Generation – Easy Climb Ladder V2
Listening to valuable customer feedback, we launched the next version of the Easy Climb Ladder with significant upgrades:
-
A 5-step version that allowed for deeper water access.
-
Stronger construction and improved materials for enhanced durability.
This iteration quickly became a staple for dock owners. However, as with all great innovations, we saw areas for refinement. The all-heavy-duty aluminum design made the ladder heavier and more challenging to lift from the water. Additionally, because the ladder was a single welded unit, any repairs required the entire ladder to be removed and replaced.
2022-Present: The LakeEze Ladder – A Complete Redesign
In 2022, we reimagined the ladder from the ground up, leveraging everything we had learned from the past versions. This new model set a new industry standard with groundbreaking innovations:
-
Eze Pull Technology – A revolutionary spring-assisted lift system that allows effortless removal from the water.
-
Slip-Resistant, Heavy-Duty Nylon Glass Steps – More lightweight and durable, available in multiple color options to match dock aesthetics.
-
Modular Design – Instead of being a single welded unit, individual components (steps, handrails, frame) can be replaced separately, extending the ladder’s lifespan.
-
5-Step & 6-Step Options – Designed to accommodate various dock configurations and water depths.
These innovations completely transformed the LakeEze Ladder into the ultimate dock access solution—seamlessly blending functionality, durability, and ease of use.
