Skamper Industries LLC Announces Animal Safety Breakthrough
Skamper Industries announces that Skamper-Ramp®, a patented water-rescue device for animals, is now available for sale worldwide. The product provides pet owners and animal lovers with a means of safeguarding against unnecessary pet-panic in the water or death due to drowning.
Charleston, SC (PRWEB) May 3, 2005 -- Skamper Industries announces that
Skamper-Ramp®, a patented water-rescue device for animals, is now available for
sale worldwide. The product is manufactured and distributed out of its Mount
Pleasant headquarters. The Company provides pet owners and animal lovers with a
means of safeguarding against unnecessary pet-panic in the water or death due to
drowning.
According to the product’s inventor and Partner, Tom Davis,
"Every year over 5,000 pets needlessly drown in swimming pools and walled lakes.
This doesn't even include the millions of other creatures—raccoons, possums,
squirrels, mice and even frogs, etc—that suffered the same fate. With
Skamper-Ramp we hope to provide animal owners with some well-deserved peace of
mind."
Skamper-Ramp is the result of five years of research and
development. Materials were tested to maximize long-term durability,
strength-to-weight ratios, chemical- and UV-resistance and cost effectiveness.
Ultimately, a plain white, box-corrugated, recyclable, unbreakable polypropylene
was chosen. White, because all living things can see it (many can not see colors
or patterns), and corrugated plastic to maintain a strong, but lightweight
form.
Jay Waddell, Managing Partner for Skamper Industries, continued,
"Skamper-Ramp is most commonly sold for use in pools, to assist pets and animals
in returning to land. The ramp can also easily be attached to boats, walled
ponds, or docks. Because it is so portable, some customers also use it as an
indoor ramp to aid small and/or arthritic animals getting onto or off of
furniture, although we don’t promote that."
Skamper-Ramp® is for pets up
to 45 pounds and the Skamper-Ramp Big Dog™ version is recommended for animals up
to 90 pounds or for use on boats and docks.
