It’s easy to customize a crossover ladder for your workplace. Your ladder can include a design that goes over any mechanical devices, conveyors, pipes, vents, and other equipment. REDD Team will help you produce new customizable industrial crossover ladders and platforms that work for your space. The rules for getting a new crossover ladder ready are critical to note, so looking at what you will require and how well it operates will be necessary to succeed in getting something ready.
General Design
Your crossover ladder and platform design should include a layout that fits your space. There are many different crossover designs you can use:
- A single-line layout where the up and down stairwells are in a straight light
- A right-angle design where the stairwells are at a right angle from the platform
- A crossover setup where one stairwell goes on one broad side of the platform and the other stairwell exits on the other broad side.
- A hybrid arrangement where one stairwell enters the narrow side, and the other goes out on the broad side
You can choose from one of many crossover layouts, but make sure whatever you select fits your space. REDD Team can create a new design based on whatever interests your needs the most.
All these features can come with a bright yellow color, although you can use a different color. Yellow is recommended, as it is easier to see in more light and air conditions. Yellow is also considered a traditional color symbolizing caution, so it’s necessary to have something visible.
Whatever you choose, make sure the setup is tall enough to go over whatever obstacles or items you’re trying to go over.
Other Features To Review In Your Ladder and Platform
There are many other points to note when checking on your ladder and platform:
- The platform should be wide enough to meet OSHA rules. The platform should be at least 18 inches wide.
- There should also be enough of a landing for the platform. At least 30 inches of room should be open for both platform ends.
- All steps should be 24 inches wide or more, allowing enough room for everyone.
- The tubing frame should include items at least two inches in diameter. The sizing is enough to create a stable body.
These standards are vital for the safety of your ladder and platform. REDD Team will check to see how well you’re getting your setup ready and help ensure you meet all OSHA guidelines for work.
Check the Load Rating
The setup should also have a good enough load rating to ensure it can handle enough weight. Your layout must support several times the anticipated load you expect to get out of your design. REDD Team uses sturdy aluminum materials that are lightweight and can still handle various weights. Our work is necessary for a good design that will support everyone.
