Exterior Roof Access Ladders
563-PR Parapet Return
Roofs with a parapet wall present a unique access challenge. Workers need a safe, guided path over the wall and onto the roof, not just a ladder that stops at the edge.
The 563-PR Parapet Return is engineered for exactly this: a fixed ladder system with handrails that wrap around the parapet, providing continuous support from the climb to the rooftop.
Alaco Ladder designs the 563-PR for facilities where a parapet wall would otherwise create a gap in fall protection during roof access.
Every system is custom-built to match your parapet height and roof configuration, and is available in aluminum or steel for long-term durability.
