Fixed Roof Access Ladders & Ships Ladders

Steel Masters NYC custom fabricates and installs fixed roof access ladders, ships ladders, and safety cage ladders for commercial and residential buildings throughout New York City. Every ladder is fabricated to your exact building dimensions in our Brooklyn shop at 135 Liberty Ave and installed by our own crew.

Whether you need a simple wall-mounted roof access ladder for a Brooklyn brownstone, a full cage ladder with safety hoops for an industrial rooftop in Queens, or a ships ladder for tight interior access in Manhattan, Steel Masters has been building steel ladders since 1972.

Types of Fixed Ladders We Fabricate and Install

Steel Masters fabricates all types of fixed access ladders for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings across New York City. Fixed roof access ladders are the most common request — wall-mounted steel ladders providing permanent rooftop access for maintenance crews, HVAC technicians, and building staff. Ships ladders are steep-angle ladders (typically 50–75°) used where space is tight and a standard staircase won't fit — common in mechanical rooms, mezzanines, and tight interior access points. Cage ladders feature welded safety hoops or a full safety cage surrounding the ladder exceeding 20 feet in height. Crossover ladders allow workers to safely cross over elevated pipes, equipment, or rooftop obstructions. Coal chute and specialty access ladders are also fabricated for older NYC buildings with unique access requirements.

All ladder types are available in mild steel or galvanized steel depending on your application and environment.
