Roof Hatch Ladders
Roof access ladders give a safe way to reach roof hatches and rooftop service areas. They're typically installed internally, so maintenance staff can get up to a roof hatch located above a plant room or service corridor.
These fixed ladders are usually made from aluminium and designed to meet UK safety regulations, in a choice of configurations — folding, hook-on and concertina — so you can pick one to suit the height and layout of the building.
Getting safely up to the hatch
A roof access ladder is the fixed, permanent way maintenance staff reach a roof hatch — usually mounted internally above a plant room or service corridor. Being fixed and designed to UK safety regulations, it's a far safer proposition than a leaning ladder for regular rooftop access. The range comes in folding, hook-on and concertina configurations, so an installer can choose the layout that fits the drop height and the space available.
Built for the job
Our roof access ladders are constructed from high-strength die-cast aluminium alloy components — durable, corrosion-resistant, and built for long-lasting performance even in challenging environments. For heavy commercial use, the Zedfold Commercial Heavy Duty ladder adds a counterbalanced, spring-assisted mechanism for easy operation and a load capacity up to 200kg, and conforms to DIN 4570 for commercial safety and performance.
Choosing the right ladder
The right ladder depends on the height of the access point, how often it'll be used, and the load it needs to carry. A heavy-duty commercial ladder like the Zedfold suits frequent use, while lighter models are better for occasional residential access. If you're not sure which fits your building, our team can help you match the ladder to the job.
