About this asset

Industrial steel fixed cage ladder provided as a Revit family, showing a vertical rung assembly with an integrated upper fall-protection safety enclosure. Constructed as a standard vertical access assembly, the ladder incorporates parallel side rails, evenly spaced horizontal rungs, and an extended overhead safety cage. The lower section remains unenclosed to facilitate entry from finished floor level, flaring outward into the protective hoops. Dimensioned reference planes govern the structural profile, including side rail thickness, hoop thickness, and rung spacing. Cylindrical or tubular metal hoops enclose the upper climbing zone, reinforced by vertical tie bars that form a rigid safety basket suited for rooftop access and technical maintenance zones.

The download is a 553 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Designed for seamless integration into architectural and structural projects, this Revit family loads directly through the component insertion workflow. Modelled with explicit parametric reference planes, users can adjust vertical height, hoop clearance, and mounting levels to meet specific code requirements. The asset accommodates placement against exterior walls, parapets, or plant room mezzanines, aligning cleanly in section, plan, and elevation views for coordinated technical detailing.

Engineered for industrial facilities, commercial rooftop mechanical penthouses, distribution warehouses, and utility infrastructure, this asset serves essential egress and maintenance access roles. It coordinates effectively alongside parapet railings, HVAC plant equipment, structural access platforms, and exterior utility penetrations. Specifiers seeking cat ladder assemblies, roof access ladders, or OSHA-compliant cage ladders can deploy this model during schematic design through to construction documentation stages.
