Fixed Ladder Price
Fixed Ladder Price
A fixed ladder price is built from five cost drivers — not a flat sticker number. When you understand the drivers, you can engineer the cost out of your spec.
Material Grade & Weight
Priced per kg. Q235B structural steel is the entry point; SS304 and SS316 carry a grade premium that shows up as a line item.
Machining
CNC cutting, mitring and drilling are quoted per operation. Standard rung spacing keeps the number predictable.
Welding
Structural welds to ISO 5817 are counted per joint — rung-to-stile, cage hoops, platform and gate connections.
Surface Treatment
Hot-dip galvanizing 85–100 μm (ISO 1461), powder coat or pickled finish — priced by kg or m² of treated surface.
Packaging
VCI rust paper, shrink film and an ISPM 15 heat-treated crate — quoted per set so nothing gets lost in freight.
Fixed Ladder Cost Breakdown
Itemized by Weight & Process — Never a Flat Sticker
Every Dengtai ladder is quoted by actual steel weight plus the processes that turn it into a compliant access system. Compare our cost breakdown line by line — there is no middleman markup and no surprise line.
- Priced per kg — a taller, heavier ladder costs more because it uses more steel
- Process lines — machining, welding, finishing, packaging — shown as separate items
- Engineering and compliance docs included at no cost — DoC, MTC 3.1, structural calcs

|---|---|---|
| Material | Per kg — Q235B / SS304 / SS316 | Side stiles, rungs, cage hoops, wall brackets on actual steel weight |
| Machining | Per cut / per hole | CNC cutting, mitring, drilling and thread tapping for brackets |
| Welding | Per joint (ISO 5817) | Rung-to-stile welds, cage hoop welds, platform and gate joints |
| Surface treatment | Per kg — HDG / powder / pickled | Hot-dip galvanizing 85–100 μm (ISO 1461), powder coat, SS electropolish |

Factory-Direct Pricing
Factory-Direct Pricing & 24h Quote
Factory-direct pricing means no middleman markup. Compare our cost breakdown against a distributor quote — the itemized lines are where the savings live.
Custom quotation priced by weight & process. Industry reference: caged ladders ≈ USD 899–1,099/ton on MIC platforms.
Configurations
Fixed Ladder Cost Options & Configurations
Every configuration is quoted on the same itemized basis — so you can price the difference between options before you order.
Caged Configuration
Adds cage hoops and verticals — roughly one extra steel-weight line item plus the associated welding joints.
Walk-Thru Configuration
A walk-thru platform replaces the top rungs — priced as platform steel plus a swing gate assembly.
Wall-Mounted Configuration
Wall brackets at specified spacing — each bracket is a machining + welding line item, so closer spacing shows in the price.
Specifications
Fixed Ladder Price Specifications & Dimensions
The spec drives the price. Standard heights 10–25 ft, full custom engineering available up to 40 ft. Rung spacing, clear width and cage diameter all follow the same 1.2-2 parameters.
| Specification | Standard Range | Custom |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 10 – 25 ft (3 – 7.6 m) | Up to 40 ft engineered |
| Material | Q235B / SS304 / SS316 | Duplex / 6063-T5 AL |
| Rung Diameter | Φ20 mm (0.79″) | Per spec |
| Rung Spacing | 280 mm / 11″ (≤300 mm) | Per project spec |
| Clear Width | 500 mm (19.7″) | Custom width |
| Cage Diameter | Φ700 mm (27.5″) | Custom |
| Load Rating | 1.5 kN per rung | Engineered |
| HDG Thickness | 85 – 100 μm (ISO 1461) | Heavier coating |
Certifications
Compliance & DoCumentation (OSHA/BS 4211/EN ISO 14122-4)
Full compliance docs are included in the price — DoC, MTC 3.1, structural calcs. A lower price is only a good price when the paperwork proves the ladder meets the standard.

Common questions
Your itemized quote lists material, machining, surface treatment, packaging and freight as separate lines — with DoC, MTC 3.1 and structural calcs included free.
HDG at 85–100 μm per ISO 1461 adds roughly ¥600–1,200 per ton of steel, versus painted finishes at ¥80–150 per m² — shown as its own line on the quote.
The cage adds Φ700 mm hoops, vertical bars and extra weld joints — more steel weight and machining time than an open ladder of the same height.
No — the drawing review and revision rounds before ordering are free; you only pay once the final drawing is confirmed for production.
Weight is calculated from your drawing — stile profile, rung count at 280 mm pitch and cage hoops — and confirmed in the structural calculation report before quoting.
Fixed Ladder Cost
How a Fixed Ladder Price Is Actually Built
No flat sticker price. Every fixed ladder cost is calculated line by line — material, machining, surface treatment, packaging and margin — from your exact drawing. These are the real rates behind the number.
| Cost Line | Real Rate (market basis) | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Material — Q235B | ≈ ¥4,000 / ton | Side stiles, rungs, cage hoops, wall brackets — actual purchased steel price |
| Material — SS304 | ≈ ¥15,000 / ton | Stainless grade, ≈3.7× Q235B, for food, chemical and humid environments |
| Material — SS316 | ≈ ¥32,500 / ton | Marine-grade with molybdenum — ≈2.2× SS304 |
| Machining | ¥1,000 – 2,000 / ton | Cutting, drilling, punching, welding and assembly, priced by complexity |
| Surface — hot-dip galvanizing | ¥600 – 1,200 / ton | 85–100 μm zinc per ISO 1461 |
| Surface — paint | ¥80 – 150 / m² | Zinc-rich primer + polyurethane top coat |
| Packaging | ¥100 – 300 / set | VCI paper + vacuum wrap + ISPM 15 fumigated crate |
| Margin | ≥ 30% | Covers export handling, FX risk and profit — itemized, never hidden |

- Packaging — VCI + crate¥150
- Cost subtotal≈ ¥1,814 (≈ USD 250)
- × 1.30 margin → reference FOB≈ USD 325

What Moves the Number
6 Factors That Change a Fixed Ladder Price
1. Material grade & steel weight
The largest line. Q235B ≈ ¥4,000/t, SS304 ≈ ¥15,000/t, SS316 ≈ ¥32,500/t — a stainless spec can multiply the material line ≈8×.
2. Height & configuration
More height means more steel and longer machining. A safety cage adds hoops and vertical bars — extra weight and welding joints.
3. Machining complexity
Standard rung spacing (Φ20 @ 280 mm) keeps cutting and welding predictable. Custom steps, mitred ends or walk-through openings add process time at ¥1,000–2,000/t.
4. Surface treatment
HDG 85–100 μm (ISO 1461) ≈ ¥600–1,200/t; two-coat painting ≈ ¥80–150/m². Outdoor industrial specs pay a little more and last years longer.
5. Packaging & export handling
VCI, vacuum wrap and ISPM 15 crating ≈ ¥100–300/set — shown as a line so freight and customs never surprise you.
6. Quantity & timing
No hard MOQ. Batch orders ≥ 100 linear meters get preferred pricing; express production (10–15 working days) carries a 20–30% surcharge.
Every ladder is made to drawing, so we quote itemized — material, machining, finishing, packaging — within 24 hours. You see exactly what you pay for.
SS316 ≈ ¥32,500/t vs Q235B ≈ ¥4,000/t. The molybdenum content drives the premium (≈2.2× SS304) — the right call for marine and chemical exposure.
No — it is an estimated anchor (12 m HDG Q235B with cage, 30% margin). Your fixed ladder cost is calculated from your actual drawing and current metal rates.
Yes. Declaration of Conformity, EN 10204 3.1 material certificates and structural calculations ship with every order — no paywall, no extra line.
