  • Minimum platform height to require safety cage

    If the height from lower platform to upper platform exceeds the minimum platform height to require safety cage then safety cage is modeled. Otherwise, ladder is modeled without safety cage.

  • Rung width (B)

  • Max. height of the lowest rung (C)

  • Max. distance from the axis of the highest rung to the higher end of the stringers (D)

  • Distance from the lower end of stringers to safety cage's lowest hoop (E)

  • Maximum spacing between hoops (F)

  • Hoop radius (G)

  • First leg distance from the lower platform (H)

  • Last leg distance from the upper platform (I)
