Safety Configurations

Compliant Cat Ladder Safety Systems

A compliant cat ladder is more than rungs and stiles — it is the fall-protection package around the climb. Choose a cage, a rail-based fall-arrest system, or a self-closing gate, built to the standard your site requires. Non-compliant access can void insurance cover and trigger regulator citations after any incident.

Safety Cage

Hoop cages fabricated to EN ISO 14122-4 geometry with welded vertical bars. Standard on climbs over 3 m where local codes accept cages; hoop diameter and bar spacing built to the ruling standard.

Rail-Based Fall Protection

Sliding-sleeve ladder safety systems for OSHA 1910.28 fall-arrest on ladders over 24 ft. Rail profile integrates with our HDG and stainless stiles and is supplied with engineered anchor points.

Self-Closing Landing Gates

Spring-loaded gates at landings and hatches, swing both ways and latch automatically. HDG or stainless to match the ladder, with handrail returns that close the guardrail gap.

BS 4211 — UK & Ireland

Cat Ladder Compliant with BS 4211

BS 4211 specifies permanently fixed ladders for access to roofs and other elevated places. Our cat ladders compliant with BS 4211 use 225–230 mm rung spacing, HDG finish to BS EN ISO 1461 (85–100 µm), and fixing brackets at ≤1500 mm centres — each project checked against the standard before dispatch.

Hot-dip galvanized to BS EN ISO 1461
85–100 µm zinc coating, fully coated after fabrication
1.5 kN rung rating
Anti-slip serrated rungs, welded to the stiles, jig-checked
Bespoke bracket sets
Parapet, wall and roof brackets to your stile spacing

OSHA 1910.23 & 1910.28

Cat Ladder OSHA Compliant

A cat ladder OSHA compliant with 1910.23 and 1910.28 carries fall protection above 24 ft (7.3 m) — either a ladder safety system or personal fall arrest. We engineer the rung load, fixing spacing and rail system to your job height, and can configure rung spacing to the 10–14 in band where your inspector requires it.

Fall protection above 24 ft
Sliding-sleeve ladder safety system or PFAS anchors, quoted per height
1.5 kN rung load, fixed ≤1500 mm
Structures and brackets sized to the ruling load case
Client-specified standards
Fixed-ladder geometry built to client-specified standards on request

Compliant Cat Ladder FAQ

What standards does your compliant cat ladder meet?

Every cat ladder is built to OSHA 1910.23 / 1910.28, EN ISO 14122-4 and BS 4211 as relevant to the project country. We also build to AS 1657 for Australia and client-specified standards on request. Tell us your project country and we confirm the applicable standard in your quote.

Do you provide compliance documentation with each order?

Yes — every order includes a Declaration of Conformity (DoC), an EN 10204 MTC 3.1 material certificate, and engineer-signed structural calculation sheets for the ladder arrangement, at no extra cost.

When is a safety cage or fall protection required?

Under OSHA 1910.28, fixed ladders over 24 ft (7.3 m) require a personal fall arrest system or a ladder safety system; cages are supplied where local codes accept them. EN ISO 14122-4 sets its own cage geometry for climbs above about 3 m. We recommend the compliant configuration for your height in the quote.

Can I order a compliant cat ladder now and add fall protection later?

Yes — we supply rail-based ladder safety systems that retrofit to our HDG and stainless ladders, and we can quote both cage and fall-arrest configurations for the same climb in a single proposal.

How quickly can a compliant cat ladder be delivered?

You receive a quote in 24 hours and production runs 15–25 working days from the approved drawing. Shipping goes EXW, FOB or CIF, and the packing plan is stated in the same quote so the compliance file travels with a schedule you can plan installation crews around.

Can we start with one compliant ladder as a trial?

Yes — trial orders start from 1 unit, which is enough to validate the compliance documentation and fit on one roof. Multi-site rollouts then use container mixes quoted per load plan, combining compliant ladders, gates and brackets in single shipments.

What payment terms apply to compliant cat ladder orders?

Standard terms are T/T with a 30% deposit and 70% against the B/L copy. Alternatives are confirmed in writing on the proforma invoice before any steel is cut, so the paperwork behind the payment always matches the paperwork behind the ladder.

How do we prove compliance during a site inspection?

Hand over the order file: the Declaration of Conformity, the EN 10204 3.1 MTC, the HDG coating report to ISO 1461 and engineer-signed structural calcs, all supplied free with every order. Because each document is issued at order level, it matches your ladder and not just a production batch.

Our existing ladders are non-compliant — where do we start?

Send photos or drawings of what is installed. We confirm which climbs need a cage, fall-arrest rail or gate, then quote the retrofit steel to your existing stile spacing. Custom heights are engineered, the drawing review is free within the 24-hour quote, and every fix ships with its own compliance file.
