Aluminum ladder 5101 series

with safety cage

Single-flight vertical ladders according to DIN 18799-1/-3, DIN 14094-1 and DIN EN ISO 14122-4: Additional components, such as exit steps, railing and safety doors, may be required depending on the exit situation on site. These components are not included as a complete kit and need to be ordered separately. Irrespective of the climbing height: Either back protection or safety railing can be used as fall protection (combination not permitted as the rescue of persons is then hindered by the back protection) The need for an occupational medical examination for suitability for working at height (e.g. G 41) depends on the risk assessment (e.g. total climbing height, type of safety railing) of the respective vertical ladder systems Proof of the load-bearing capacity of the underlying surface must be provided for each construction project by a responsible stability expert The vertical overlap of successive ladder flights must be at least 1,680 mm At unsecured exit points, railings attached to both sides of the vertical ladder or led into the exit level are required Gap at exit step must not be larger than 75 mm Step-on dimension: Distance from entry level to the first rung 100–400 mm When exiting forwards, the uppermost rung must be at the height of the exit side-rail Vertical ladders with fall protection require at least 800 × 800 mm clear space available in front of the ladder when climbing off it. These dimensions must also be observed for new installations in the existing system
