Guardrail’s “AXESS” vertical permanent ladder system is of a safe, simple modular design offering individual
parts which bolt together to form a complete ladder.
Parts are usually kept in stock for quick delivery or can be supplied as a complete ladder once the floor to floor
dimension is given. This system tries to eliminate the need for expensive site surveys and the preparation of
detail drawings which adds to delivery time.
Flexible
AXESS is usually available ”off the shelf”
and is so flexible it will solve virtually any
access problem.
Easy to install
AXESS is straightforward to install.
