Caged Ladders
Caged ladders have long been a staple in various industries for providing safe access to elevated areas such as rooftops, platforms, and mezzanines. These ladders are characterised by their enclosures, typically made of steel, surrounding the climbing rungs. The primary purpose of the cage is to prevent falls and provide a secure pathway for ascending and descending.

In line with AS1657:2018 standards, Caged ladders must adhere to specific design and installation requirements to ensure optimal safety. These include appropriate ladder pitch, rung spacing, cage dimensions, and anchorage to a structure capable of withstanding the applied loads. The cage itself must also meet dimensional standards to allow for safe ingress and egress.

One of the key advantages of caged ladders is their inherent stability and reliability. The cage provides a physical barrier that helps to prevent slips and falls, especially in adverse weather conditions or when carrying equipment. Additionally, the cage serves as a visual indicator, making the ladder easily identifiable and promoting compliance with safety protocols.
