Recommended Optional Items

LadderPort™ Platform

The Platform solves roof access problems where there is an obstruction near the roof line or a short overhang. The Platform can be ordered in several different lengths. When a parapet is present, a separate LadderPort Parapet back ladder should be ordered with the correct number of steps to accommodate the parapet height. The same safety features of LadderPort ladder receivers are incorporated into the Platform to allow the extension ladder to be held in
place for safer roof access. Since there is no vertical ladder access from the outside of your building, the Platform deters vandals and pranksters from accessing the roof.
