7m Caged Access Ladder
A public-safe case study for a vertical caged access ladder designed for industrial building access. The assembly combines ladder stringers, rungs, safety cage hoops, wall brackets, spreader plates, a top landing, guardrails, and fabrication-ready component structure.
Project Overview
The 7m caged access ladder package was produced to convert vertical access requirements into a controlled SolidWorks assembly and fabrication reference set. The model coordinates ladder sections, cage hoops, wall brackets, top landing geometry, guardrails, spreader plates, and fixing positions before release to manufacture.

Engineering Challenge
The main engineering challenge was coordinating a tall vertical access system with safe climb protection, wall fixing constraints, top landing access, and fabrication clarity. The public website version exposes only approved render, GLB, and redacted PDF resources.
Design Solution
The final solution uses a vertical ladder assembly with safety cage hoops, wall brackets, ladder rungs, detachable lower protection, spreader plates, and a guarded top landing. The public-facing package follows the W1/W2 pattern with render, GLB model, redacted fabrication PDF, and redacted assembly PDF.
Key Features
- Vertical access ladder with safety cage hoop structure
- Guarded top landing with handrail protection
- Wall brackets and spreader plates coordinated for installation constraints
- Ladder rungs, stringers, and lower protection included in the assembly
- Website-ready GLB model for public visual inspection
- Public-safe redacted fabrication and assembly PDF resources
Project Deliverables
