WAREHOUSE ACCESS · FIXED & WELDED
Warehouse Ladder Systems, Fixed and Welded In-House
Permanent vertical and wall-mounted steel access for mezzanines, racking, plant and rooftop equipment. We build it in our ISO 9001:2015 plant and ship factory-direct — material certificates, weld reports and load-test data on every order.

OVERVIEW
What Is a Warehouse Ladder, and When Is Fixed the Right Call?
A warehouse ladder is a permanently installed steel climb — bolted or welded to a mezzanine edge, a racking upright, a pit wall or a roof curb. It does not roll. No wheels, no casters, nothing to drift while a picker is two metres up. That is the line we draw: a fixed ladder for warehouse use is for daily, repeatable access to the same height, not for roaming the aisles.
This is where warehouse ladder safety actually starts. A fixed climb removes the tip-and-slide risk of a mobile unit, and it lets us engineer the fall protection to the real height. In our shop we anchor the stiles, set rung pitch under 300 mm, and add a cage or a fall-arrest rail once the climb passes the code threshold. Short climbs stay simple. Tall ones get protected.
Because every ladder leaves the same weld shop that pours the certificates, there is no middleman markup and no field guesswork. You get the steel grade you specified, the coating you paid for, and the paperwork to prove it: material certificates, weld reports and load-test data. On our floor we treat a fixed warehouse climb like structure, not hardware. One de-identified example: a third-party logistics operator in Western Europe took roughly 40 galvanized mezzanine access ladders, dry-fit and load-tested in batches before shipping, and reported a clean install with zero on-site rework.

Geometry We Cut To
Rung pitch, clear width and cage start height are cut to your measured climb — we dry-fit each ladder before galvanizing so it lands flush on site, no shimming.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Ladder material | Q235B (hot-dip galvanized) or SS304 / SS316 |
| Rung diameter | 20 mm solid round, serrated grip option |
| Rung spacing | 250-300 mm (OSHA 1910.23 ≤300 mm; EN ISO 14122-4 225-300 mm) |
| Clear climb width | 400-600 mm between stiles |
| Rung load | Designed to ≥1.5 kN single-rung point load |
| Galvanizing | Hot-dip, 65-85 µm to ISO 1461 |
| Stainless finish | SS304 / SS316, brushed or pickled-passivated for wash-down and food-grade bays |
| Fall protection | Safety cage from the code threshold, or fall-arrest rail / cable system |
| Mounting | Wall-mounted brackets, floor-fixed base, or welded to mezzanine / rack steel |
RANGE
Fixed Ladder Types We Build for Warehouses
Welded and dry-fit in-house
One batch, one set of certificates
Mezzanine Access Ladder (Q235B, HDG)
Our default warehouse climb: hot-dip galvanized Q235B fixed to the mezzanine edge, 20 mm rungs at 250-300 mm pitch. Best value for covered storage and pick floors. Add a self-closing gate at the top landing.
Wall-Mounted Vertical Ladder
A space-saving fixed ladder access route bolted flat to a wall or column for plant rooms, roof hatches and tank tops. SS304 stiles where corrosion or wash-down is a factor.
Rack & Equipment Inspection Ladder
For high-bay racking checks, conveyor decks and machine platforms. Caged or rail-protected once the climb clears the fall threshold. A ladder for warehouse use that sees daily traffic, built to take it.
Rooftop HVAC / Plant Ladder
Permanent roof-deck access to chillers, AHUs and solar racks. Galvanized for outdoor life, or SS316 in coastal and chemical air. Pairs with a walkway or guardrail run on request.
COMPLIANCE
OSHA 1910.23 & EN ISO 14122-4 Compliance
OSHA 1910.23 Fall Protection
New fixed ladders over 24 ft (7.3 m) need a personal fall-arrest or ladder safety system, not a cage alone; existing cages phase out by 2036. We build to whichever you specify.
EN ISO 14122-4 Fixed Ladders
Rung pitch, clearances and cage/landing rules for permanent industrial fixed ladders. Standard across our EU shipments.
BS 4211 Handrails & Hoops
Guard-rail, hoop and grab-rail detailing for UK-spec warehouse and rooftop jobs.
Load-Tested & Certified
Batch tensile testing in-house; SGS / TÜV / Bureau Veritas third-party reports on request.
