    Ladders can be connected to create the height you need. They have textured steps for slip resistance.
    Note: Ladders meet OSHA dimensional standards. Users are responsible for checking local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe installation and operating practices.
    300 lb. Capacity—300 lb. capacity ladders use the connecting kit (sold separately) to connect ladders with no drilling required. Mount to the wall with the mounting bracket kit (sold separately). When ladder heights are greater than 20 feet from the floor to the top rung, a ladder cage can help prevent falls.
    Built-In Connectors—Ladders with built-in connectors have built-in splices, so they can be connected to each other. Note: The first rung of the ladder cannot be more than 12" from the floor.

    Accessories for Ladders
    Mounting Bracket Kits for 300 lb. Capacity Ladders
    Mounting bracket kits offset the ladder 7" for toe clearance. Kits include fasteners to mount brackets to the ladder; fasteners to mount brackets to a surface are not included. Two kits are recommended for 4-, 5-, and 8-foot ladders; three kits are recommended for the 10-foot ladder. If connecting multiple ladders, one mounting bracket kit is required for each additional ladder section.
    Pipe Mount—Mounting bracket kits without mounting holes must be drilled to the desired bolt hole size to mount to your surface, so you can adapt it to your needs. For instance, use U-bolts (not included) to connect ladder to pipes.

    Ladder Cages

    Image of System. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Ladder Cages.
    Feel secure on tall ladders. These cages surround the ladder to help reduce the risk of falls. Made of powder-coated steel, they resist rust, so you can use them outdoors. Each section is fully welded and mounts to the side rails of stationary ladders. They don’t mount to walls or other cages. For a complete assembly, you’ll need at least one middle/top section and one bottom section.
    Bottom Sections—Bottom sections are flared to give you room to enter or exit your cage.
    Middle/Top Sections—Middle/top sections make your cage longer. They can also act as a top section when your ladder system includes a hatch.
    Yellow—Yellow cages stand out in busy areas.
    Specifications Met—Note: Ladder cages meet OSHA and Cal/OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.

    Two-Side Access Step Ladders

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Ladders. Two-Side Access Step Ladders.
    With steps on both sides, you can climb these ladders from either side or have one person on each set of steps. The capacity listed is for each side of a ladder. Made of fiberglass, they are nonconductive for use in electrical work. They also fold up for compact storage. These ladders meet ANSI-ASC A14.5, which certifies dimensional and performance requirements for fiberglass ladders.
    Note: Ladders meet OSHA dimensional standards. Users are responsible for checking local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe operating practices. Ladders also meet CAL-OSHA standards, which is required for use in California.
    Type IA—Type 1A ladders are tested to hold up to 300 lbs.

    Straight

    Step

    More versatile than standard step ladders, these ladders can be folded and used as straight ladders. Lean them against walls or use the notched top cap to lean them against poles or studs for safe climbing. The top cap has slots to hold your tools. These ladders have nonconductive fiberglass rails, and the steps are ribbed for good slip resistance.
    They’re Type 1AA, which means they’re tested for holding up to 375 lbs.
    Note: Ladders meet ANSI, OSHA, and Cal/OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.

    1 Loop

    Attach one of these ladders to a fixed object and drop it into a tank, manhole, pit, or temporary work area. They’re lightweight, so you can easily carry them anywhere.
    Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set-up and operating practices.
    1 Loop—Ladders with 1 or 2 loop ends work well when you already have hooks you can slide the loops over. Otherwise, you’ll need to use carabiners or other hardware to secure these ladders to an anchor point.
