The Kelus Mobility Enhancer is a telescopic ladder kerbals can climb on during EVAs. It is the second-longest ladder of all stock parts.

Usage

When put on a vessel, the Enhancer starts in a closed position and extends when activated via clicking on it. The extended ladder allows kerbals to grab onto it and move vertically on it. Kerbals can't collide with the part whether stowed or extended. The only interaction via kerbal is grabbing and moving vertically.

In the VAB and SPH, the ladder can be right-clicked and made to start extended or retracted, however this does not always work. (0.24.2)

It is a massless part.

Product description

The Kelus Mobility Enhancer comes equipped with advanced telescopic extension technology. Recommended load 0.5 kerbals. After discovering that their name was already in use, Kelus picked their current name with the flip of a coin.

Trivia

Real-world comparison

The Kelus Mobility Enhancer seems to be inspired by the on-board ladder on the American A-10 ground attack aircraft.
