The chances are you have definitely seen a Vertical Access ladder, on the side of a building, on the back of a lorry or even down the side of a water tank. You will often find vertical ladders indoors. Whenever a roof or raised area has to be accessed, this access must be undertaken in a safe and planned manner.

Vertical access ladders are fixed to a surface and are not able to be moved. As vertical access ladders cannot be moved a major concern of this is unauthorised use. Not to worry, we also have a range of mesh/solid barriers and security panels to keep your ladders secure when unattended.

Ready Made Fixed Access

We have a range of ready made vertical access ladders which are a completely new and cost effective vertical access solution. Ready made fixed access ladders, with or without cage and are supplied as pre-drilled set of parts ready for on site installation. The ladder is supplied at full length and all you have to do is cut it to size.

Bespoke Fixed Access

When an access problem isn’t simple enough to just install a ready made fixed access ladder we will work closely with you to design and manufacture a safe, strong and high quality ladder to meet your requirements. Materials and finishes can be altered to suit almost any specification with options available in steel, powder coated aluminium and now even glass fibre for complete corrosion resistance and no electrical conductivity.

Vertical Access Fall Protection

To comply with BS 4211:2005 any vertical access over the height of 3m requires a safety cage. With our bespoke access solutions where a hoop arrangement is not suitable, a fall arrest system can be fitted. Either option satisfies all Work at Height Directives and can be modified to suit any situation.
