Fixed ladders meet standards
All Zarges fixed ladders meet the new safety requirements for access to machinery as set out in standard EN ISO 14122-4.
Standard modules are aluminium and have serrated tread surfaces for safety.
A choice of tread widths is available at 600, 800 or 1000 mm and all components conform to EN ISO 14122, BGV D 36 and BG1 637.
There are two standard inclinations of 45 degrees or 60 degrees and the platform can be extended in 225 mm increments.
All components arrive flat-packed and are easy to erect for rapid assembly on site.
The bridging steps are ideal for stationary or mobile applications.
A total load capacity of 300 kg - 150 kg on treads - is the standard design but other load bearing capacities can be accommodated as well as different dimensions and inclinations.
Perforated or open grid aluminium alloy treads and open steel grid steps are also available.
Where standard modules are not appropriate Zarges will design the steps using components tailor-made for the purpose.
