Introduction
When it comes to safe, durable, and space-efficient access solutions, nothing beats a custom steel ladder built to match your building’s exact layout. At Avangard Steel, we design and fabricate custom steel ladders in Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam and throughout BC tailored to your project’s height, purpose, and finish.
Whether you need a stainless steel rooftop access ladder, a galvanized safety ladder for an industrial site, or a stylish architectural ladder for commercial interiors, our team can design, build, and install it precisely to spec.
Types of Custom Steel Ladders We Build
We fabricate all types of steel ladders to meet residential, commercial, and industrial needs, including:
- Fixed Access Ladders: Permanent ladders for roofs, mezzanines, and service areas.
- Wall-Mounted Ladders: Ideal for building exteriors or restricted spaces.
- Caged Safety Ladders: Built with protective hoops for worker safety on tall structures.
- Retractable and Folding Ladders: Space-saving designs for maintenance access.
- Architectural Steel Ladders: Custom interior ladders designed for visual appeal and performance.
Material Options: Stainless, Galvanized & Powder-Coated Steel
Every location and environment in BC demands a different finish and metal type. Our custom steel ladders are available in:
- Stainless Steel (304/316): Perfect for coastal or high-moisture areas like Vancouver and the North Shore. Resistant to rust and ideal for commercial and industrial facilities.
- Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel: Offers maximum corrosion resistance and durability for exterior installations and rooftops.
- Powder-Coated Steel: Adds a clean, professional look while providing additional surface protection available in any RAL color.
Not sure which finish suits your project? Our engineers will help you choose the best balance between performance and aesthetics.
Why Choose Custom Fabrication Over Prefab Ladders
While off-the-shelf ladders may seem convenient, they often fail to meet code or align perfectly with your building’s architecture. Choosing a custom fabricated steel ladder ensures:
- Exact fit and design integration with your structure
- Full compliance with BC building codes and OSHA safety standards
- Choice of finishes, materials, and mounting systems
- Longer lifespan and lower maintenance cost
- Professional installation and local support
