On the 4th of February 2022, the Industroquip installation team installed a modular vertical ladder system with a static line on a cinema roof in the North Coast of New South Wales along with handrails and roof walkway systems for safe access for building maintenance and air conditioning technicians servicing the HVAC equipment on the roof.
Industroquip's range of modular access ladders are manufactured here in Australia using high grade structural aluminium that is also able to be powder coated to match your new building for better aesthetics.
The client chose the Industroquip modular access ladder system as they were after durability and the ladder system comes complete with a 10 year warranty and Industroquip's complete end to end solution from initial onsite inspections and audit back in November 2021 and installation and certification early this year.
Industroquip's range of modular access ladders include ladders for access over parapets, for access to silos and tanks, for access up external concrete walls, through suspended ceilings and access hatches and more.
All our modular access ladder systems are available in kit form ready for installation or we can provide installation right across Australia.
