MUNK GUENZBURGER STEIGTECHNIK Plain alu. single-flight construction ladder w/ back prot. 8.48 m

Application

Access to hard-to-reach areas for maintenance or cleaning work. Fixed ladders are also used on buildings as escape ladders (DIN 14094-1).

Execution

• Made of aluminium

Notes

Single-section fixed ladders in accordance with DIN 18799-1/-3, DIN 14094-1 and DIN EN ISO 14122-4: Depending on the selected standard and the on-site situation at the exit point, additional components such as an exit step, guard rails and a safety door are required. These are not included in the complete set and must be ordered separately. Regardless of the climbing height, the following applies:
Either a safety cage or a fall arrest system may be used for fall protection (a combination is not permitted, as the safety cage obstructs the rescue of persons). Occupational medical examination for fitness to work at height (e.g. G 41): the requirement depends on the risk assessment (including total climbing height and type of fall protection) for the respective fixed ladder systems. Proof of the load capacity of the substrate must be provided for each construction project by a responsible structural stability expert. The vertical overlap of successive ladder sections must be at least 1,680 mm. At unsecured exit points, guard rails are required on both sides of the fixed ladder or extending to the exit level. The gap at the exit must not exceed 75 mm. Entry dimension: Distance from the entry level to the first rung: 100–400 mm. When exiting to the front, the top rung must be level with the exit level. For fixed ladders with a fall arrest system, the clear space in front of the ladder at access openings must be at least 800 x 800 mm. For new installations in existing structures, these dimensions should also be observed. The gap widths between the fixed ladder system and guard rail must not exceed 180 mm. It must be possible to connect to and disconnect from the fall arrest system from a secured standing position. To ensure a safe grip around the side rails, there must be at least 75 mm clearance around the side rails to adjacent parts (except for components that form part of the fixed ladder system).
