STAINLESS STEEL METAL LADDER

art. 271

 

Stainless steel AISI 304 metal ladder, designed and created for both French and Italian-style via ferrata routes.

The length of the ladder is determined by the project in question and is generally created in sections of 1 –3 (max) metres.

The connection plates are constructed from a flat 6 mm x 60 mm bar and are placed on the external edges and bolted together at the precise angle required.

The ladder can be fixed to the rock in two ways: The first method is to use sections of threaded stainless steel M16 rebar, fixed to the ladder using “L-shaped" brackets.

The correct position is achieved using nuts and locknuts.

On the rock face, the threaded bar must be ‘drowned’ in epoxy resin inside the Ø20 mm hole.

The second method uses sections of ribbed metal bars which are welded directly to the ladder.

The two long edges of the ladder are formed from 30x60x3mm hollow rectangular metal.

The rungs are constructed in 16mm diameter ribbed and non-slip rebar.

The distance between each rung is approximately 33 cm. All welding has been conducted using the TIG method (tungsten inert gas).

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

PLEASE NOTE: the photo is an example. The connection terminals can differ substantially as mentioned above. The image accurately displays the two hollow rectangular metal sides and the ribbed rebar rungs.

The use of a metal ladder is often a useful and simple way of overcoming particularly exposed sections of rock.

Ladder weight per metre = approximately …grams.

Note: The ladder is sold by linear metre and includes all necessary components (connection plates, welded sections, nuts and bolts etc).

The ladder in the photo is 3 metres long, designed for a 9m ladder. In this case the sections are connected used welded plates on the ends and connected with M10 bolts (4 bolts for each connection).
