Caged Ladders
FORTAL's competitively priced caged ladders are made of high-performance materials and designed to meet current standards. Known for their quality and safety, they effectively combine robustness, light weight, and strength. Because they come pre-assembled, FORTAL caged ladders are quickly and easily erected.
15 minutes are all you need to erect a 5 metre ladder (excludes time required to fix ladder to wall)
5 simple steps to erect your ladder (see demonstration video):
1. Unpack ladder: Ladder is delivered folded up and in a single package.
- Ladder sections are connected by couplers.
- Exit frame and cage hoops are pre-assembled onto ladder stiles.
- Brackets for cage straps are pre-assembled onto hoops.
2. Unfold ladder: Simply unfold ladder sections and secure joints by tightening the bolts.
3. Position hoops: Once ladder is straightened out, fold up hoops and tighten bolts.
4. Fasten cage straps: Cage straps are made of "C"-profile, so simply insert them onto the bevel nuts provided on hoops.
5. Attach wall brackets: All that's left to do is fasten the wall brackets to the ladder stiles using the clamps provided. Wall brackets can be attached anywhere on stile.
YOUR LADDER IS NOW READY TO BE FIXED TO THE WALL.
FORTAL's pre-assembled ladders can also be delivered as a kit. Available in aluminium, steel, and stainless steel.

Safety Cage: Delivered as a kit, it includes horizontal hoops (interior Ø 710 mm, spaced 1500 mm apart, and bolted onto stiles) and 5 evenly spaced cage straps to connect hoops (made of C-profile)
Wide Exit: 710 mm wide with a landing step made of aluminium sheeting or grating to bridge the gap between ladder and arrival area. Landing step is equipped with guardrails on either side (handrail 1000 mm, midrail 450 mm, and toeboard 150 mm. Other sizes available upon request).
Exit Through Roof Hatch: Cage ends below the platform, but ladder continues for another 1000 mm, allowing you to safely exit onto landing. Custom-sized landing is made of slip resistant aluminium sheeting or grating.
Ladder Change-Over: As per the standard, ladder flights must not exceed a height of 9 metres. The ladder change-over is therefore designed as two cages joined at a height of 2 metres, allowing you to switch from one flight to a second, staggered one. An exception is made for buildings higher than 9 metres that are too narrow to accomodate a change-over, in which case a single flight with a fold-up rest platform every 6 metres is permitted.
Wall Brackets: Right-angle brackets made of 40 x 8 mm aluminium flat bar are provided to fix ladder to wall. These 200 mm long brackets (other lengths available upon request) are clamped to ladder stiles. Using clamps allows brackets to be positioned anywhere on ladder stiles. However, they must be spaced approximately 2000 mm apart.
Ladder Coupler: For easy and cost-effective transportation, FORTAL's caged ladders are delivered in sections of no more than 4000 mm that are then simply connected using couplers.
Side Exit: Allows you to exit at a height of 2000 mm onto a platform to the right or left of ladder.
Safety Gate: According to AFNOR standard 85010, front and side exits must include a safety gate with spring-loaded hinges. Gate opens outwards and measures 625 x 585 mm.
Stile Extensions: In order to facilitate climbing and descending a ladder when both ladder and cage end below a roof hatch, you can attach stile extensions ( Ø 40 mm tubing), which are fastened to the last three ladder rungs.
Lower Security Door: Types 1-2-3 include door + access opening + pedal to unlock upon descent from ladder.
Lower Security Door: Type 4 includes door + access opening + mechanism to keep door open.
Lower Security Door: Type 5 includes small door+ mechanism to keep door open.
