Frequently asked
A fixed vertical ladder is a permanently fixed access structure for means of access and egress from buildings, machinery, roof tops and other structures such as silos and mezzanine floors.
Fixed ladders are needed for access, maintenance and inspection, and fire escape.
The material should be considered before install. Aluminium is generally used for indoor applications as is lightweight and easier to install. On the other hand, galvanised steel is considered more robust and weather proof, so is the most common selection for outdoor installations.
Our systems conform to numerous standards:
EN14122-4 - Permanent means of access to machinery
DIN14094-1 - Emergency escape ladders
DIN18799-1 - Fixed Ladder for construction works
