Give Your School Team Safer Roof Access Without Compromising Security or Instruction

Keep Students Off the Roof, Minimize Disruption, and Support Safe Maintenance Access

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Many school buildings rely on outdated or unsafe rooftop access methods—whether it's exposed exterior ladders, interior hatches, or hauling gear up by hand.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.

“We’ve installed LadderPort Ladder Receivers in place of exterior fixed ladders and Roof Hatch Grab Bars on our roof hatches throughout the district. It keeps students off the roof and gives our team safer, more direct access. It’s been a smart upgrade for us.”
