Fixed Steel Ladders

Fixed steel ladders provide permanent vertical access and access platforms in industrial settings. Tri-Arc fixed steel ladders are made in the USA in Coatesville, PA and come in 14 orderable configurations across 81 product pages; buyers choose step count or platform height, tread type, and OSHA versus CAL‑OSHA compliance.

How to choose a fixed steel ladder

Start with the required step count or platform height. Models span 4 steps up to 30 steps and include examples such as 9 ft (10-step), 13 ft (14-step), 16 ft (17-step), 22 ft (19-step) and 26 ft (27-step). Most Tri-Arc fixed ladders are 90° slope; a smaller set are 45° slope.

Pick tread type for the environment:

  • Perforated: general purpose.
  • Serrated (Grip Strut): for wet or oily floors.
  • Expanded metal: lets debris fall through.
  • Abrasive mat: quiet operation, suitable for clean rooms.
  • Ribbed: common with stainless or aluminum applications.

Compliance: rolling ladders and platforms are built to OSHA 1910.23 / ANSI‑ASC A14.7; CAL‑OSHA models add the California Title 8 requirements. If you need California‑compliant components, specify CAL‑OSHA when ordering.

Shipping and setup: units ship factory-direct LTL freight from Coatesville, PA to commercial addresses. Lead times vary by model; check the product page or ask a specialist for current availability and freight details. Example capacity listed on multiple Tri-Arc models is 350 lb.
