Supported Ladder Systems

Portable Supported Ladder Systems

Ideal for outdoor maintenance of transportation vehicles, the Mobile Supported Ladder System is a portable system that provides both passive and active fall protection.  The system features a fully guardrail enclosed work platform that is accessed through two spring loaded swing gates. The working surface of the vehicle is accessed through one spring loaded gate while the user is tied off to the active fall arrest rail. The supported ladder fall protection system is ANSI and OSHA compliant.

We are a complete turnkey provider of OSHA compliant portable and mobile fall protection systems and have years of design and installation experience.  Contact us for expert assistance with your fall arrest, fall restraint and fall protection safety requirements.
