Steel and metal industrial and commercial ladders are rigid, one piece, all welded, steel fixed and mobile platform ladders designed to meet or exceed OSHA standards.

Safety is foremost with all our ladders with easy climbing angles, sturdy handrails, large steps and platforms of slip resistant expanded metal. Ladders with casters assemblies are designed to secure the ladder to the floor when in use, and to permit easy rolling from job to job.

Office ladders made just for the office combine high quality construction with an attractive design and finish that complements building interiors and corporate environments. Each model is built with specific tasks in mind.

Individual units can also be customized with optional features such as dual platform depth size, triple handrails, and removable shelves. Units are powder coated in any one of 8 color choices that are available to match office furnishings and interior designs.

Casters are also designed to easily roll across carpet. Treads on steps are rubber matted solid thread or black sandpaper thread made to be comfortable for all footwear types.

Stock picker & platform ladders are made for quick and easy retrieval of stock for shelves. They are used primarily for inventory management in the retail industry.

Instead of using casters, these ladders roll along a track built into the shelving itself. Single Track, Double Track, and Dual Side Track models are available. Each one features specific attributes that uniquely benefit specific types of shelving environments.

Warehouse ladders have been engineered for strict compliance with all American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. They have also been tested, reengineered, and improved over several product generations.

Customization options that have developed have been based on customer feedback. Manufacturer participation in ANSI and regulatory boards allows research and development teams to remain at the forefront of industry concerns and new strategies for safety engineering.

Fixed steel commercial ladders are for workers that are climbing large structures such as bridges, buildings, or grain silos, it is necessary for them to use fixed commercial ladders that are engineered to remain firmly in place without any horizontal movement that could lead to a slip or fall. OSHA guidelines are very strict when it comes to the manufacture of these ladders.

Fixed steel ladders can be manufactured from three types of steel: powder coated, hot dipped galvanized, or stainless. Modular units can also be made that will break down for easier storage when the ladder is not in use.

In modular ladders, every segment measures between 6-7 feet, which makes it very easy to transport and setup the ladder in new locations. Ladders can also be made with cages at the top.

Some are made for hatchway or sidestep access, while other have extended landing decks with handrails on either side. Cages can also be purchased and added to existing fixed ladders when applications call for extra protection at heights between 10-30 feet.

Commercial ladder units must be selected based on data that is highly specific to each application. Consultation with a ladder specialist is strongly recommended.
