Climbing and Working Ladders for Utility Structures
Posted on November 25th, 2024 by All-Pro ThreadedInstall with speed. Climb with confidence.
Designed to raise the bar in safety, easy installation, and overall value, All-Pro Threaded Products’ ladders deliver best-in-class performance for both climbing and working ladders. These all-steel, sectional, factory-welded ladder systems are engineered to save installation time and enhance safety.
Climbing and Working Ladders
For the climbing ladder design, the ladder steps are staggered and knurled to ensure safe climbing, augmented with spots for clip-in safety harnesses. By contrast, working ladders are provided with steps evenly aligned on both sides of the ladder frame. Versions of both ladders can extend up to 42 additional inches, providing additional steps at the top of a tower. All-Pro Threaded Products controls the entire process of delivering in-stock ladder solutions, and every ladder is load-tested and manufactured to meet all applicable industry safety standards.
All-Pro Threaded Products (APTP), a subsidiary of All-Pro Fasteners, manufactures all ladders at its Arlington, Texas, manufacturing facility. APTP controls the entire manufacturing process and maintains a large inventory of ladder assemblies and accessories, delivering in-stock ladder solutions, on-time, on-budget, and on-spec, every time.

Safer Performance
APTP ladders are designed for safe operation. Built-in safety features include slip-resistant knurled steps, large 3/4’” diameter step bolts, and an added gusset feature for safety clip-ins designed into the ladder frame. In addition, angled frame supports increase the vertical load capacity, giving the climber confidence while in the air. Extensions and adjustable versions for working and climbing ladders are available to accommodate shorter distance requirements at the top of the tower.
Faster Installation
APTP ladders are manufactured to provide time-savings and ease of installation. Sectional assemblies allow the installation of 5-6 steps at a time, with welded steps already built-in to the assembly. A unique slide-in ladder clip features a single-pin design that allows each section to be secured with two easily tightened bolts. The result is fewer parts needed during installation and a faster, more efficient installation process.
Pre-Connected, Pre-Kitted Convenience
By reducing the number of installation steps, APTP ladders simplify the installation process, saving time and reducing the risk of installation errors. All bolts, nuts, and washers required for installation are kitted and pre-packed for shipment to the job site. Custom-kitted ladder assembly and component systems are shipped in boxes or on pallets. Ladders and step bolts are pre-connected, allowing full sections to be quickly attached. APTP’s industry specialists are ready to help you with responsive and knowledgeable support and service.
Built to Higher Standards
Every ladder is professionally manufactured at APTP’s state-of-the-art facility in Arlington, Texas by skilled welders using calibrated and modern welding equipment. To further ensure safety, all welding is performed under the supervision of AWS Certified Welding Inspectors.
