Cat Ladder With Guardrails — Cage, Platform, Handrails & Walkway

Cat Ladder With Guardrails: Configurations

Factory cat ladders built to your access layout — add a safety cage, rest platforms, side handrails, or a full walkway and gate system. Each configuration is load-rated to 1.5 kN per rung and fixed at ≤1500 mm centres. Non-compliant access can void insurance cover and trigger regulator citations after any incident.

Safety Cage

Φ700 internal hoop cage starting at 2.2 m with hoop spacing to OSHA / EN ISO 14122-4. HDG or stainless to match the ladder.

Landing Platform

Intermediate rest platforms where a single section exceeds 25 m, plus top landing platforms with guardrails for safe exit.

Handrails & Guardrails

Top-rail and mid-rail guardrails at the top landing, parapet and walkway edges — welded or bolted to the ladder stiles.

Walkway & Gate

Combined ladder-to-walkway access with self-closing safety gates, handrailed walkway panels and mid-rails per standard.

Guardrail Cat Ladders for Tank Tops & Roofs

Guardrail cat ladders are the standard answer for tank-tops, parapets and roof access where a worker steps out onto an elevated edge. We fabricate the cage or handrail set in the same run as the ladder, so hoop diameters, rail heights and stile spacing all line up first time.

  • Rail height to standard

    Top rail 1100 mm per EN ISO 14122-4 — above the OSHA 42 in minimum; mid rail and toeboard included

  • Grade-matched protection

    Q235B HDG, SS304 or SS316 cage and rails match the ladder material

  • No on-site cutting

    Hoop and rail sets are trial-assembled at the factory before dispatch

Cat Ladder With Guardrails FAQ

What is a cat ladder with guardrails?
A fixed vertical access ladder fitted with fall-protection — typically a safety cage with hoops, side handrails or guardrails, and optional rest platforms or walkways. We build HDG steel and stainless options that are compliant with OSHA 1910.23/28, EN ISO 14122-4 and BS 4211.
When do I need a guardrail or safety cage on a cat ladder?
OSHA requires cage or fall-protection for fixed ladders above 24 ft (7.3 m), and EN ISO 14122-4 requires fall protection from 3 m. Our safety cage starts at 2.2 m with Φ700 internal hoops; for taller runs we supply rest platforms at intervals and add handrails and guardrails at the top landing.
Do cat ladders with guardrails come with compliance documents?
Yes — every order ships with a Declaration of Conformity, an MTC 3.1 material certificate and engineer-signed structural calculation sheets, all included at no extra cost.
What materials are available for a cat ladder with handrails?
Q235B hot-dip galvanized steel (HDG 85–100 µm, ISO 1461), SS304/SS316 stainless (grade verificationed), aluminium and GRP/FRP. HDG is the standard for most roof and industrial access; stainless is specified for chemical and marine exposure.
Can I order a single guardrail cat ladder?
Trial orders start from 1 unit — a single caged or handrailed ladder for one tank-top or parapet is fine. Multi-site container mixes of ladders, rails, gates and brackets are quoted per load plan and shipped EXW, FOB or CIF to your port.
Do guardrail sets need site welding?
No — anchor plans and installation drawings are included, and everything is bolt-together. We fabricate the cage or handrail set in the same run as the ladder, so hoop diameters, rail heights and stile spacing line up first time, and builds are trial-assembled where specified.
What are quote and production lead times?
Transparent itemized pricing in 24 hours, then production runs 15–25 working days. We ship EXW, FOB or CIF, loose or container-loaded, and the free drawing review before fabrication locks rail heights and fixing centres so nothing shifts on site during installation.
What height do the guardrails stand?
Handrail sets stand 1100 mm to the top rail with a mid rail and toeboard — the guardrail geometry edge-protection inspectors expect at tank-tops, parapets and roof landings. Rails are built in the same Q235B HDG or stainless grade as the ladder, fixed at ≤1500 mm centres.
How are guardrail cat ladders load-rated?
Each configuration is load-rated to 1.5 kN per rung with rungs at 225–230 mm centres and fixings at ≤1500 mm. The safety cage starts at 2.2 m with Φ700 mm internal hoops, and the max single section is 25 m with rest platforms above.
