The Rung, the most important part of the iconic obstacle known as The Salmon Ladder. Common steel construction Salmon Ladders produce a decibel reading in the low to mid 90s with an aluminum pipe. That is the equivalent of a 737 jet engine or motorcycle passing by!
In 2018 we introduced the Stealth Rungs. A new kind of rung with solid ABS construction to reduce sharp echoing sound waves and a integrated rubber insert where the bar makes impact. The first in the industry to incorporate rubber to reduce sound.
These distinct elements created a noticeable difference in the sound waves produced and loudness. The sound waves went from high pitch ring to a deadened thud and dampened the impact on users joints reducing joint fatigue due to repeated use.
The meter reading dropped by 12-15 decibels and a remarkable 30+ decibels when using a carbon fiber bar. That is as loud as conversing in your office workplace!
