Steel Ladders – for heavy-duty use only
The Steel Ladders are generally designed to be used where there are requisitions for secured and heavy-duty vertical climbing. Usually, the Steel Ladders are available without the walk-thru handrails at the summit of the ladder or in other words at the landing surface. But if requested then the walk-thru handrails at the summit of the ladder could be attached at a fair price too with the Steel Ladders.
The walk-thru handrails at the summit of the ladder is supposed to be standardized at or up to 20′. But this comes without the safety cage. This is because that the safety cage is usually attached to the steel ladder when the ladder height is more than 20′ as par the general rule. But in exceptional cases such as in the case of old steel ladders separate safety steel cages are attached to the ladders to ensure greater safety measures.
The safety cages of these heavy-duty steel ladders are available at various length and width. Though the standard size of these steel ladder safety cages are available from 10′ to 29′ and over depending upon the requirement of the user. But it should be considered that never in any circumstances the parts of this heavy-duty steel ladder ever exceed a length of 7′, be it sub-assemblies or any other parts.
All in all the Steel Ladders are durable as well as reliable and meant for heavy-duty purpose. These Steel Ladders are effective in use but it should be well maintained because steel ladders are by nature rugged and paint free along with being non-corrosive, while these ladders require frequent washing.
The steel ladders come in a variety of length starting from 3′ 3″ to a maximum of 29′. The number of rungs also varies according to the length of the steel ladder. It starts with 4 rungs and moves up to 30 rungs for the 29′ steel ladder variety. Similarly, the price also varies from a starting margin of $169 up to a mark of $756 for the 29′ model.
As a whole the steel ladder variety is one of he most durable and heavy-duty material of the ladder industry.
