A Safer, Cleaner, and More Secure Alternative to Roof Hatches and Permanent Ladders
Many school buildings rely on outdated or unsafe rooftop access methods—whether it's exposed exterior ladders, interior hatches, or hauling gear up by hand. LadderPort products offer safer, code-compliant solutions that don’t require major construction and provide safe roof access and material lifting.
Fixed Ladders Invite Trespassers
Permanent exterior ladders are an easy target for students, trespassers, and vandalism. They create liability and are difficult to secure.
Older Roof Hatches Can Be Unsafe
Many schools have steep, awkward, or poorly placed roof hatches. Grab bars make these safer to use—and are easy to retrofit without modifying the hatch.
Hauling Equipment Shouldn’t Risk Injury
Cranky gives your team a safer way to lift tools and supplies to the roof—without struggling up ladders or through buildings.
