Stairs and Ladders

Roof access hatches provide access to flat roofs for inspection and maintenance of the roof or of equipment installed on the roof. However, without a means of accessing the roof access hatch, the job is only half done. Staka roof access hatches can be combined with various types of ladders and stairs, ensuring fully integrated roof access.

Extension ladders

If you need to access the roof to perform inspections or repairs, you can hook a separate ladder on to the upstand of the roof access hatch. This provides a sturdy and safe means of accessing the roof. 

Staka SafeStepSystem

Only the Staka TopAccess roof access hatches with ladder are equipped with the SafeStepSystem. The last rung to the roof is easily installed in the upstand of the roof access hatch This halves the installation time, prevents construction defects, and makes for an attractively finished hatch. 

  • Safety standard for roof access hatch with ladder: The Staka roof access hatch with ladder satisfies the requirements of EN 131.

Ladder options

  • Security system: Use of the security system prevents vandals from removing the ladder. The top end of the ladder is secured to the step in the roof access hatch with a lock. 
  • Mounting system: This system consists of two aluminium brackets that are mounted to the wall. The ladder is hung on the brackets and then secured in place with the included padlock to prevent use by unauthorized people.
