Aluminum Ships Ladders for Mezzanines and Lofts

Mezzanines and lofts are a great solution to that extra space needed for offices, factories, industrial work spaces, or residential buildings. These are often utilized as an office room, observation deck, storage room, study, or guest room depending on where they’re built. And for these, ships ladders could be the ideal fixed access solution. Here are a few reasons why…

Ships ladders for mezzanines and lofts

Briefly, ship ladders are a special type of ladder originally built for a ship’s decks, mezzanines, and other spaces where an access solution is needed. Because a ship typically has tight spaces inside, ship ladders are built smaller, with steeper angles compared to a standard ladder. It’s the way the ladders are built that make it ideal for mezzanines and lofts with tight or restricted access space.

Since these ladders are built for commercial, industrial or public use, they should follow the OSHA’s safety standards. From steps that slope 50° to 70° horizontally to handrails and guides, make sure that your choice of ships ladders for your space strictly follow OSHA standards in design, manufacturing, and usage.

Note: If your space cannot accommodate handrails and guides, Alaco’s team will help you come up with an alternative fall arrest system.
