Improve Work Efficiency with Alaco’s Custom Hatch Ladders

Roof hatches are typically installed to provide easy and convenient access to occupied and unoccupied rooftops. The hatch’s door typically opens from the inside of the building or structure for safety purposes. Ladders, including custom hatch ladders, are the most common, most reliable, and safest access solution for such roof openings.

Why a roof hatch

Commercial, residential and industrial buildings, as well as schools and hospitals have roof hatches installed to enable workers to easily access the roof at any given time. These are particularly helpful and useful when the roof needs to be accessed at night or during rainy or snowy days. Instead of scaling the building’s exterior wall through a portable ladder to reach the roof, workers can safely and much more comfortably reach the roof through the hatch.

Accessing the roof

As mentioned above, accessing the roof through the hatch is typically done on a ladder. If there is enough access space and if the roof hatch is wide enough, a standard ladder might be the best way to reach the rooftop or roof deck. However, if there is limited space and the roof hatch has but a small opening, then a customized ladder might be the ideal solution. Alaco’s custom hatch ladders can be installed with features that not only make accessing the rooftop safe, but also make the ladder fit the space regardless of its unique measurement.

Custom hatch ladders

Alaco Ladder’s ships ladders are often the preferred choice of building contractors, roofing specialists, and other professionals as they are the perfect size for a standard roof hatch with limited access space. These typically come with handrails and guardrails for the user’s safety. But for spaces that can’t accommodate these handrails, Alaco can help customers come up with a safe and viable alternative.

Incidentally, Alaco Ladder’s Heavy Duty Aluminum Ladders are as strong as steel ladders but lighter, easier to handle, install, maintain, and more sustainable than steel, which make them the perfect choice for ladders in diverse work environments.

Alaco also manufactures and assembles Fall Arrest Systems, the newest things in ladder safety.
