Rolling Ladders (New & Used) for Warehouses & Industrial Facilities in Ohio

Rolling ladders are ideal for warehouses, stockrooms, offices, and maintenance environments where safe, mobile access to elevated areas is required. A steel rolling ladder is built from heavy-duty tubular steel and designed for daily industrial use. Standard features include deep 7-inch safety steps, rubber-tipped feet or locking casters for stability, and sturdy handrails to support secure climbing. All rolling ladder configurations meet applicable OSHA requirements.

Our steel rolling ladder options are available in a wide range of heights and widths and can be manufactured with powder-coated steel, stainless steel, or galvanized finishes to match both indoor and outdoor applications.

Rolling Ladder Step Options & Locking Systems

Each industrial rolling ladder is available with two proven step configurations. Grip strut (expanded metal) steps provide maximum slip resistance with a self-cleaning, flow-through design that performs well in wet or slippery environments. Perforated (perf tread) steps offer a high-strength, economical alternative with excellent traction for general warehouse use.

Rolling ladders can also be configured with spring-loaded casters that retract under the user’s weight or with a Saf-T-Lock foot-pedal locking system that secures the ladder firmly in place before climbing.

Types of Rolling Ladders Available

Rolling ladders are available in a variety of configurations to support different access needs, space constraints, and work environments across warehouse and industrial facilities.

Rolling Ladders – Round Tube

Round tube rolling ladders are the most commonly used option for warehouses and general industrial applications. Their lightweight tubular design allows for easy repositioning while maintaining the strength needed for daily use. These rolling ladders are ideal for stockrooms, picking operations, and routine maintenance tasks.

Rolling Ladders – Square Tube

Square tube rolling ladders offer increased rigidity and a more industrial profile for demanding environments. The square frame design provides added stability when accessing higher elevations or carrying tools and materials. These rolling ladders are commonly used in manufacturing facilities and heavy-use warehouse settings.

Steel Cross-Over Ladders

Steel cross-over ladders allow workers to safely cross over conveyors, piping, or machinery while maintaining compliance with safety standards. Their welded steel construction provides long-term durability, while knock-down designs simplify shipping and storage. These ladders are ideal for permanent or semi-permanent industrial installations.

Dual-Access Mobile Platform Rolling Ladders

Dual-access rolling ladders provide a stable elevated platform that can be accessed from either side, improving workflow efficiency. The platform design supports longer-duration tasks that require tools or materials at height. These rolling ladders are often used in assembly, packaging, and maintenance areas.

Double Entry Platform Ladders

Designed for narrow aisles and congested areas, these platforms allow access from both ends and feature deeper upper platforms for increased workspace. Weight capacity up to 300 lbs.

Ergonomic Safety Incline Rolling Ladders

Safety incline rolling ladders feature a gentler climbing angle and deeper steps to reduce strain during frequent use. The stair-like design allows workers to carry items more comfortably while ascending or descending. These rolling ladders are ideal for high-traffic picking and order fulfillment operations.

Rolling Maintenance & Mechanics Ladders

One of the most commonly selected rolling ladder options for maintenance applications. Maintenance rolling ladders are designed to support technicians who need stable access to equipment and machinery. Features such as deeper top steps and rear exits improve comfort and safety during service work. These rolling ladders perform well in mechanical rooms and production environments.

Industrial Semi-Trailer Access Rolling Ladders

Semi-trailer access rolling ladders provide safe entry into trailers when dock doors are unavailable. Their mobile design allows operators to position the ladder quickly without permanent installation. These ladders are commonly used in retail distribution and standalone loading areas.

Office Rolling Ladders

Office rolling ladders offer compact access solutions for libraries, records storage, and office shelving. Their smooth mobility and clean appearance make them suitable for professional environments. These rolling ladders deliver safety and convenience without taking up excessive floor space.

Ergonomic Stock Picking Ladders

Stock picking rolling ladders combine mobility with integrated platforms or carts to improve order picking efficiency. Workers can retrieve multiple items without repeated trips up and down the ladder. These rolling ladders are commonly used in fulfillment and inventory operations.

Tilt-and-Roll Rolling Ladders

Tilt-and-roll rolling ladders are designed for easy relocation in areas where frequent movement is required. When tilted, the ladder rolls smoothly into position and locks securely during use. These ladders work well in facilities with changing layouts or shared work zones.

Folding Rolling Ladders

Folding rolling ladders provide industrial strength while offering a compact footprint for storage. These ladders are ideal for facilities with limited space or occasional access needs. Once deployed, they lock securely for safe operation.

Mobile Aluminum Work Platform

Mobile aluminum work platforms provide a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative for applications where weather exposure is a concern. These rolling platforms are easy to reposition between work areas and offer a stable elevated workspace at multiple heights. They are commonly used in maintenance, light industrial, and outdoor environments.

Mobile Work Platform

Steel mobile work platforms deliver a larger standing surface for tasks that require extended time at height. Their heavy-duty construction supports higher load capacities while maintaining mobility between jobs. These platforms are well suited for warehouses, production floors, and industrial service areas.

All-Directional Rolling Warehouse Ladder

All-directional rolling warehouse ladders are designed for maximum maneuverability in tight spaces and narrow aisles. Six swivel casters allow the ladder to move laterally and rotate within its own footprint. This rolling ladder style is ideal for dense storage areas where traditional movement paths are limited.

Multiple Deep Top Step Options (Double and Triple Deep on all 1-16 Steps)

Rolling ladders can be configured with double or triple deep top steps to provide additional standing space at working height. Deeper platforms improve comfort and stability when tasks require longer periods at elevation. These options are available across multiple ladder heights and configurations.

Dock Ladders – Walk-Thru

Dock walk-thru ladders mount directly to the dock face to provide safe access between dock level and ground level. Extra-high handrails and slip-resistant step surfaces support safe climbing during loading and unloading operations. These ladders are commonly used in shipping and receiving areas.

Trailer Tank Access & Tank Access Ladders

Trailer tank access and tank access ladders are designed to provide safe, stable access for inspecting and servicing storage tanks and transport equipment. These ladders feature durable welded steel construction with offset, non-slip rungs that help protect hands while climbing. Available with powder-coated or hot-dipped galvanized finishes, tank access ladders perform well in industrial, processing, storage, and transportation environments. Uniform load capacity is typically rated up to 300 pounds.

Other Warehouse Ladder Styles

In addition to standard rolling ladder configurations, a variety of specialized ladder styles are available to address unique facility requirements. These include hybrid rolling ladders that combine multiple access features, spring-loaded caster ladders for automatic locking under load, cantilever ladders for offset access needs, exit ladders for emergency egress applications, and fixed ladders for permanent installations. Each option supports safe access while accommodating specific operational challenges.

Rolling Ladder Parts & Accessories

A full range of rolling ladder parts and accessories is available to support long-term performance and safe operation. Replacement components include casters, locking systems, handrails, tool trays, and step upgrades. Accessory options allow facilities to customize or maintain rolling ladders as needs change, helping extend service life and protect equipment investments.

Rolling Ladder Safety Best Practices

Rolling ladders are extremely safe when used correctly and maintained properly. Before each use, inspect the ladder to ensure locking mechanisms engage fully and that casters or rubber feet are in good condition. Handrails, steps, and fasteners should remain secure and free of damage.

Only one person should use a rolling ladder at a time unless the ladder is specifically designed for multiple users. The combined weight of the user, tools, and materials should never exceed the ladder’s rated capacity. Operators should maintain three points of contact while climbing and wear slip-resistant footwear to improve stability.

Proper training plays a critical role in rolling ladder safety. Employees should understand correct climbing techniques, how to position and lock the ladder before use, and how to safely relocate it when moving between work areas. Keeping rolling ladders clean and storing them in a dry, secure location helps prevent surface damage and extends overall equipment lifespan.
