The patented design of the Ladder Gate® is effective in keeping unauthorized people from climbing fixed ladders, to control vandalism, eliminate injuries, and to minimize your liability.
The shield (8′ high x 1/8″ thick) is constructed of alumium so that painting is not needed. The angeld sides enclose the ladder to prevent reaching around the shield.
The hardware (hot dipped galvanized) enables Ladder Gate® to be installed on most fixed ladders regardless of their construction. Each Ladder Gate® unit is complete and can be installed without cutting, welding, or alterations – only a 3/8″ wrench is needed.

Information
The Cost of Control is Reasonable
Fixed ladders exist, of course, to provide access for personnel to areas where their services may be required. Until recently, devices or systems which allowed easy access by authorized personnel while effectively preventing unauthorized use, were too costly or too complicated to install. Ladder Gate® has changed all that. The price is reasonable and installation is simple.
Ladder Gate Works with Your Lock and Keys
No special equipment is needed. An authorized person simply unlocks your padlock on the Ladder Gate, swings the shielding gate aside and has unhampered access to the ladder. Everything needed is provided with Ladder Gate® except a padlock.
Permanent Control
The shielding door of Ladder Gate® is heavy-gauge, rust proof aluminum. All braces and hardware are fabricated from galvanized heavy-gauge steel. Although installation is simple, Ladder Gate®, once in place, can be a permanent device, with little or no maintenance required.
Installation
Two workers can install a Ladder Gate® in an hour or two. No welding, cutting or alterations are needed. Just bolt hardware in place, position Ladder Gate® shield and fasten shield to support braces. Authorized personnel can use Ladder Gate® with ease. The shield does not have to be removed, unbolted or lowered to the ground. Simply unlock and remove the padlock and open Ladder Gate® as you would a door.
