The Made-to-Order Path

Custom Made Fixed Ladder

Your ladder is built to spec — not from stock. Every made to order fixed ladder passes through the same six gates, with a full trial-fit assembly before any crating.

01

Spec & Drawings

Total height, width, access point, load, finish.

02

Engineering Review

Feasibility check within 4 hours, calcs drafted.

03

Shop Drawing

Dimensioned drawing in 1–2 days for your sign-off.

04

Production

15–25 working days after approval. Rush available.

05

Trial Fit & QC

Full pre-assembly, weld and dimension inspection.

Pre-Assembled Trial Fit

Every made to order ladder is assembled on our shop floor before crating. Rails line up, rungs land on pitch, cage hoops close — if it does not fit in the factory, it does not ship. That is the trial-fit promise.

Structural calcs travel with the unit, so your engineer and your inspector sign off from the same numbers.

Timing You Can Plan Around

  • Quote in 24 hours — including structural calcs
  • Shop drawing in 1–2 days for approval
  • Production 15–25 working days after sign-off
  • Rush scheduling available for line shut-downs

Made To Order Fixed Ladder Options & Configurations

Three material builds, one made to order promise — every unit fabricated to your drawings with a trial fit before shipping.

custom made fixed ladder in steel

Galvanized Steel Build

Q235B, hot-dip galvanized 85–100 μm — the economical industrial standard.

built to spec fixed ladder in stainless steel

Stainless Steel Build

SS304 & SS316 for chemical, marine and food-grade sites that demand traceability.

made to order fixed ladder in aluminum

Aluminum Build

6063-T5 — lightweight, non-sparking, ideal for telecom and roof access.

Certifications

Compliance & DoCumentation (OSHA/BS 4211/EN ISO 14122-4)

  • OSHA 1910.27 — Full Compliance
  • BS 4211:2005+A1:2015
  • EN ISO 14122-4
  • AS 1657
  • Cal/OSHA Title 8
OSHA 2018 update: fixed ladders over 24 ft installed after Nov 19, 2018 require a personal fall arrest system (PFAS) or ladder safety system — a cage alone no longer satisfies. Ask us for a PFAS-ready configuration.

Documentation Package

Every made to order order ships with complete documentation — no extra cost, no paywall.

  • Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
  • Material Test Certificates — EN 10204 3.1
  • Structural Calculations
  • Welding Procedure Specifications
  • Surface treatment certificates (HDG per ISO 1461)

Quick Answers

Common questions

What is the production time for a made-to-order ladder?

15–25 working days after drawing approval, with a rush option; every order is pre-assembled and trial-fitted before shipping.

Can you build from my drawings or just from dimensions?

Both — send drawings or a six-point list (height, width, clearance, access point, load, finish) and we review the shop drawing free within 1–2 days.

Which standards can a made-to-order ladder meet?

OSHA 1910.27, ANSI A14.3, BS 4211, EN ISO 14122-4, AS 1657 and SS 553 — with DoC, MTC 3.1 and structural calcs shipped with the order.

What load can a custom fixed ladder carry?

1.5 kN (≈337 lbf) per rung on the standard build, with reinforced heavy-duty sections available for higher loads or machinery access.

How do made-to-order ladders arrive on site?

Flanged in transportable sections and bolted together on site — no welding or hot work during installation.

Built to Spec, Not From Stock

The Made-to-Order Ladder Process

Every made-to-order fixed ladder starts from your specification — reviewed, engineered and produced in 15–25 working days after drawing approval.

1

Spec & drawings in

Send dimensions, a drawing, or a photo — any format works.

2

Free drawing review

Engineers check feasibility and flag code issues in 1–2 days.

3

Production run

15–25 working days, cut from certified steel with traceable MTCs.

4

Pre-assembled & shipped

Trial-fit before packing; VCI + ISPM 15 export packaging.

What the Drawing Review Checks

Dimension consistency

Height, width and rung pitch are cross-checked so rungs land evenly — no field surprises on install day.

Code applicability

We confirm which standard applies to your region — OSHA 1910.27, BS 4211, EN ISO 14122-4 or AS 1657 — and build to it.

Cage and fall protection

Height triggers cage or safety system requirements — we flag them before quoting, not after.

Mounting and access

Wall, platform or hatch mounting changes brackets and top details — confirmed in the shop drawing for your sign-off.

Material Options for Made-to-Order

Galvanized steel

Q235B with HDG 85–100 µm — the outdoor workhorse.

Stainless 304/316

For washdown, food and coastal environments.

Aluminum

Corrosion-resistant and lighter for retrofits.

Tolerances & Free Structural Calcs

Fabrication follows ISO 2768-mK: rung pitch ±2 mm, rail centers ±3 mm, and every cage and rung trial-fitted before packing. A structural calculation sheet — rung load 1.5 kN standard, heavier duty on request — is included free with the documentation pack.

Every made-to-order order ships with DoC, MTC 3.1, weld records and structural calcs — at no extra cost.
