Kattsafe Fixed Rung Ladder Systems
Kattsafe Fixed Rung Ladder Systems
A fixed roof access ladder is the permanent answer to the ladder that gets dragged out every time someone needs the roof. The Kattsafe rung ladder range covers angled and vertical fixed ladders, with or without cages, built from modular high strength aluminium sections that are configured to your building and assembled on site without welding.
The range runs from the mini angled ladder for access between roof levels up to 3.5m, through angled and vertical caged ladders for main roof access to 6.0m, to vertical fall arrest ladders that keep the climber connected for the full climb. Every system is made up from ladder heads, body sections, stiles, cages, access doors, mounting brackets and landing platforms, cut to the measured height of the structure. Kattsafe fixed ladders are designed to comply with AS1657:2018 and carry a ten year system warranty.
Because every fixed ladder is configured to a measured height and a specific mounting situation, these systems are quoted rather than sold off the shelf. That also keeps freight honest: ladder sections travel as oversized freight and the quote covers delivery to your site.
System configurations
- Mini angled ladders for level changes up to 3.5m
- Angled caged ladders for main roof access up to 6.0m
- Vertical caged ladders where floor space is tight
- Vertical fall arrest ladders with a continuous climb line instead of a cage
- Change of direction and landing platforms for taller structures
- Access doors, lockable covers and ladder cages
- Retrofit vertical line brackets for existing ladders
- Mounting brackets and fixings to suit concrete, steel and metal deck structures
Fixed ladder systems sit alongside the rest of the ladder range and the roof access systems. For occasional access, compare the Kattsafe fold down ladders, and for securing a portable ladder see the Kattsafe ladder support brackets.
Tell us the height from ground or floor level to the roof or platform, the structure it mounts to, and whether you need a cage or a fall arrest line.
Request a quote with your building height, roof type and a rough layout or measurement, and we will come back with a configured system and price.
Do fixed ladders need a cage?
Above 6.0m of climb AS1657:2018 expects either a cage or a fall arrest system on the ladder. Which one fits depends on the height, the space available and how often the ladder is used. We confirm the right configuration when we quote.
Can an existing ladder be upgraded?
Yes. Retrofit vertical line brackets let a compliant fall arrest line be added to an existing rung ladder without replacing the whole ladder.
How is a fixed ladder system priced?
On the measured height and configuration: ladder sections, cage or line, doors, platforms and brackets are itemised for your building, with freight to site included in the quote.
Who installs it?
The modular aluminium sections bolt together on site with no welding, so any competent installer or builder can assemble them. Installation must follow the Kattsafe instructions and the support structure must be verified by a competent person.
