CAT LADDER

Lightweight ladder offering good stability. The ladder’s stringers are in a roll-formed U-profile. The rungs are profiled to reduce the risk of slipping and are swaged on both the inside and outside for double safety. Design according to SS 831340 and SS-EN ISO 14122-4.

*** Screw set with drill tip, for sheet thickness ≥ 0.7 mm. Installed with six screws per base plate.
**** Screw set for wood. Installed with six screws per base plate.

The handrail is installed to the side of the ladders with or without safety cage. The handrail is folded 100 mm to the side to give more space for passing.

Handrails are normally installed one on each side, but in some cases, it may be sufficient on just one side.

The handrail can be equipped with anchorage lugs at the top that are used when working on a step plate. The handrail can also be used with an external sleeve for removability, which is useful when the ladder is installed below a hatch.

* Requires 4 bolts and nuts for ladders without safety cage, and 8 bolts and nuts for ladders with safety cage.

The handrail is installed to the side of the ladders with or without safety cage. The handrail is folded 100 mm to the side to give more space for passing.

A hoop is mounted on the handrail to bridge the gap to the roof surface. Handrails are normally installed one on each side, but in some cases, it may be sufficient on just one side.

The handrail can be equipped with anchorage points at the top that are used when working on a step plate. The handrail can also be used with an external sleeve for removability, which is useful when the ladder is installed below a hatch.

* Requires 4 bolts and nuts for ladders without safety cage, and 8 bolts and nuts for ladders with safety cage.

The handrail is installed to the side of the ladders with or without safety cage. The handrail is folded 100 mm to the side to give more space for passing.

A brace is mounted on the handrail to a roof ladder/gangway, which bridges the gap to the roof surface. The length of the brace is adjusted during assembly, depending on the gradient of the roof.

Handrails are normally installed one on each side, but in some cases, it may be sufficient on just one side.

* Requires 4 bolts and nuts for ladders without safety cage, and 8 bolts and nuts for ladders with safety cage.

The anchorage point/attachment point is for the lifeline. The attachment lug is mounted on the top of the handrail and is primarily for use when working standing on the step plate.

In the event of a falling height of more than 4 metres, the ladder must be fitted with a safety cage in accordance with BBR. The safety cage for the cat ladder is made up of modules with a length of 900 mm. The safety cage ends 2-2.5 m above ground and can be supplied with a hatch to prevent unauthorised access.

Version in accordance with SS 83 13 40.

* Installed with 7 bolts and nuts per hoop.

Hatch for preventing unauthorised persons climbing any ladder with safety cage.

The hatch is installed on the rear edge of the safety cage brace and it can be locked with a padlock round the safety cage hoop to prevent unauthorised access. The hatch is raised up against the safety cage when passing.

Standing platform 300 x 400 mm, adjustable 0-20°

NOTE! Standing platform requires 250 mm of free space against the wall.

* 2 nuts and bolts per standing platform.

Two standing platforms for cat ladders. Both of them are folding. They can be used with advantage where there is a need for an intermediate landing at the middle of the cat ladders, in order to stand more comfortably. This could be next to a service point or in the middle or a longer run of cat ladders.

The platform is normally folded back behind the rungs and it is easily pulled out with your foot.

The standing platforms are available for the whole width of the ladder or split so they can be used together with a fall arrestor/safety wire.

The single standing platform is assembled using 2 x M10x20 + locking nuts. The double platform is sold as a complete set, with the necessary fixing materials.

Stiffening rails come as bent sections with a length of 1200 mm, which hook into each other and bolt to the side of the ladder. With an ingenious hook at the end of the section, we can construct a strong support profile using short sections. With a stiffening rail installed, the max. separation is 5.7 m compared to the standard 2.5 m. The rail can be used together with other accessories such as safety cage, standing platform, handrail, etc.

Device to prevent climbing up cat ladders.

Self-closing gate for cat ladder.

With our solution, you can let the permanent ladder finish a good way up the wall and, even so, have access to an evacuation ladder that reaches all the way to the ground. On evacuation, you climb down the ladder, kick the locking device, on which the loose ladder comes loose and slides down to the ground. You then just continue, down to solid ground.

In order to improve safety, ladders that are longer than 6 metres should be supplied with an intermediate landing/load distribution beam. On very long ladders, the distance between the intermediate landings should not exceed 6 metres. Version in accordance with SS 831340.

Intermediate landings comprise the following components:

1 grating with edge bar.
4 angle bars.
4 “half” safety cage hoops.
2 horizontal flat bars
7 vertical flat bars.
Each intermediate landing requires 2.1 m extra ladder.
