TORSION PLATE FOR LADDER

摘要

A ladder is provided. The ladder includes a frame having a first side wall and a second side wall. The first and second side walls are connected by a plurality of steps. The plurality of steps is provided in an axially spaced apart arrangement relative to each other. The ladder also includes an actuator coupled to the frame. The actuator is configured to provide a rotary movement to the frame for positioning the ladder in any one of a deployed position and a stowed position. The ladder further includes a torsion plate. The torsion plate is provided on the frame in cooperation with the actuator. The torsion plate is configured to transfer at least a portion of a torque associated with the rotary movement from the first side wall to the second side wall.
