The invention discloses a transverse sliding type
crawling ladder and a ship cargo hold checking and cleaning method, and belongs to the technical field of ship cargo hold maintenance equipment.The transverse sliding type
crawling ladder comprises two vertically-arranged supporting frames and a plurality of treading frames transversely connected between the two supporting frames; sliding seats capable of sliding up and down in the height direction of the supporting frames are installed on the rear sides of the two supporting frames at the same time, variable
pulley assemblies are fixed to the rear sides of the top ends of the supporting frames and the rear sides of the sliding seats, and the variable
pulley assemblies enable the whole transverse sliding type
crawling ladder to transversely slide. The variable
pulley assembly has a suspension form and a
side lying form which can be switched with each other. According to the transverse sliding type crawling ladder, through the variable pulley
assembly, the crawling ladder can be switched between a suspension state and a
side lying state, and the inspection requirements of the top and the bottom of a cargo hold are met; no matter suspended on the top or
lying on the side at the bottom, sliding supporting is achieved through the pulleys / trundles, suspension shaking of workers is avoided, operation is facilitated, and meanwhile the
falling risk can be reduced.
