Alaco provides free CAD drawings and specifications for all caged roof access ladders and rest platform configurations. Each model includes ladder drawings in PDF, DXF, and DWG formats, plus 3-part specifications, bracket details, and security door drawings for project planning and architectural submittals.
Models ending in -C include a safety cage. Models ending in -CP include a safety cage plus a rest platform for taller climbs. Choose your model below to download the files you need.
Planning a new fixed ladder over 24 feet?
Note that OSHA now requires a ladder safety system or personal fall arrest system on new installations. See our OSHA Caged Ladder update for the full timeline.
560-C – Roof Hatch Access
Caged access ladder configured for roof hatch entry, providing protected climbing to and through the hatch opening.
560-CP – Roof Hatch Access with Rest Platform
Caged roof hatch access ladder with an integrated rest platform for safer climbing on taller installations.
561-C – Handrails Over Roof
Caged roof access ladder with handrails extending above the roof edge for a secure walk-through exit.
561-CP – Handrails Over Roof with Rest Platform
Caged handrails-over-roof ladder with a rest platform, designed for taller climbs where workers need a secure resting point.
561SE-C – Side Exit
Caged roof access ladder with a side step-off exit, ideal where a straight-on exit is blocked by equipment or structure
561SE-CP – Side Exit with Rest Platform
Caged side exit ladder with an integrated rest platform for taller installations.
562-C – Roof Return
Caged roof access ladder with side rails that return onto the roof surface, giving climbers continuous handholds through the exit.
562-CP – Roof Return with Rest Platform
Caged roof return ladder with a rest platform for safer climbing on taller structures.
563-C – Parapet Return
Caged parapet return ladder designed to climb over a parapet wall, with rails returning down to the roof surface on the inside.
563-CP – Parapet Return with Rest Platform
Caged parapet return ladder with an integrated rest platform for taller parapet climbs.
564-C – Parapet Return
Caged parapet return ladder for crossing taller parapet walls with protected climbing throughout.
564-CP – Parapet Return with Crossover and Rest Platforms
Caged parapet return ladder with both a crossover platform and a rest platform — Alaco’s most complete parapet access configuration.

People Also Ask
What do the -C and -CP model codes mean?
Models ending in -C include a safety cage around the climbing area. Models ending in -CP include both a safety cage and a rest platform, which gives climbers a secure place to pause on taller ladder runs.
Are caged ladders still OSHA compliant?
Existing fixed ladders installed before November 19, 2018 may still use a cage under OSHA 1910.28(b)(9). However, new fixed ladders over 24 feet require a ladder safety system or personal fall arrest system, and by November 18, 2036 cages alone will no longer qualify.
When is a rest platform required on a fixed ladder?
Rest platforms provide climbers with a secure stopping point on long ladder runs and are commonly specified for taller installations. Requirements vary based on ladder height, configuration, and the fall protection system used; our team can confirm what your project needs during design.
What file formats are the drawings available in?
All caged ladder drawings are available in PDF, DXF, and DWG formats, with specifications in DOC and PDF. DWG and DXF files work with AutoCAD and most CAD software for direct use in your project drawings.
Can Alaco combine a cage with a ladder safety system?
Yes. Cages can remain in place alongside a ladder safety system or a personal fall arrest system, a common approach for meeting current OSHA requirements while maintaining the physical protection of a cage.
