AG Stairs and Ladders
Where safe passage is needed to rooftops, facades or access equipment, it is necessary to provide specially fabricated ladders. We have many years of experience in designing, fabricating and installing all types of ladders for both traditional and bespoke applications. Stairs and ladders can be supplied self-coloured, hot-dipped galvanised, primer painted or polyester powder coated to a RAL colour of your choice. All installations comply with the relevant Building Regulations and Safety Standards.
AG Stairs
Where routine access is required externally, either by means of a fire escape or steps between roof levels, we can offer a variety of single and multi-flight industrial stair solutions in aluminium or mild steel.
Where the presence of roof mounted ventilation equipment or plant renders areas inaccessible, bridging steps offer a versatile solution. These combined stair and platform units enable personnel to traverse safely up and over the pipework or similar obstruction to access all roof areas for maintenance and cleaning.
AG Ships Ladders
"Ships Ladders" are ladders with a pitch of 65-75 degrees that are fitted with treads. Where design parameters permit, they are more practical to use than vertical ladders. Ships ladders should not exceed 3m vertically, should be fitted with a single line of handrail on each side and require a width of between 450mm and 550mm. The height of the handrail should range between 250mm from the ladder slope of 65 degrees and 100mm for a 75 degree slope. The top tread should be at the same level as the adjacent floor, with a minimum tread width of 80mm, minimum rise 200mm and maximum rise of 250mm.
AG Cat Ladders
Cat Ladders are permanent, vertically fixed ladders, with a slope range from 75 degrees to vertical and are most commonly used on the outside of structures to gain access to roofs or between roof levels on larger buildings. Made from aluminium, galvanised or stainless steel, we can design, fabricate and install Cat Ladders to almost any size, from 2m to 25m, complete with landings and safety hoops. AG Cat Ladders are manufactured to either BS5395-3:1985 or BS4211:2005
