Cotterman 1000 Series Rolling Safety Ladder

Cotterman Steel Rolling Safety Ladder 

Cotterman 1000 Series Rolling Safety Ladder, Expanded Metal Treads, Ships Assembled (59° Climb, Warehouse-Ready)

The Cotterman 1000 Series Rolling Ladder with Expanded Metal Treads is a warehouse favorite for one simple reason: it's built to perform on day one with minimal hassle. These ladders ship fully assembled, so they arrive ready to roll into position and go straight to work, no install time, no missing parts, no assembly delays.

For everyday comfort and safety, Cotterman uses a 59° climbing angle, providing a more natural climb than steep ladders and supporting frequent up-and-down traffic for picking, restocking, and cycle counts. The expanded metal tread steps deliver dependable traction while staying cleaner in real warehouse conditions. Their self-cleaning design lets dirt and debris fall through, helping maintain safer footing over time in dusty aisles and high-traffic stock areas.

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Step count: choose from 1 to 11 steps based on the platform height needed for your access point.
♦ Width: choose 18", 26", or 32" based on how many workers need to use the ladder at once and available aisle clearance.
♦ Handrail, handrails become standard starting at 2 steps for most configurations and are standard on every model with 5 or more steps.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Warehouses and Distribution Centers: expanded metal treads support high-traffic picking, restocking, and cycle counts.

♦ High-Debris Environments: self-cleaning treads maintain traction in dusty aisles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Cotterman 1000 Series rolling safety ladder?
The Cotterman 1000 Series is a mobile steel access ladder that ships fully assembled, so it arrives ready to roll into position with no installation time or assembly steps. It uses a 59 degree climbing angle and expanded metal treads. Step counts run from 1 to 11. CustomMHS carries the full line of Cotterman rolling safety ladders, backed by the manufacturer's warranty.
What does shipping assembled actually save?
It removes the labor, the coordination, and the failure points that come with assembling equipment on receipt. There is no crew time allocated to putting it together, no waiting for a maintenance window, and no risk of a missing fastener or an incorrectly torqued connection on equipment people climb. For facilities ordering several ladders at once, that difference compounds across the order.
What does the 59 degree climbing angle do?
The 59 degree pitch is shallower than a steep ladder, which produces a more natural climb and makes repeated trips easier. That matters most in picking, restocking, and cycle counting, where someone goes up and down many times through a shift. A steeper ladder is manageable occasionally and becomes tiring when the task repeats.
Why choose expanded metal treads?
Expanded metal is a self-cleaning design, meaning dirt and debris fall through the openings rather than accumulating on the step. In dusty aisles and high-traffic stock areas, that keeps traction consistent over time instead of degrading as material builds up. A solid step in the same environment holds whatever gets tracked onto it.
Which width should I choose?
Three widths are available: 18", 26", and 32". Base the choice on how many people use the ladder at once and how much aisle clearance you have. The 18" width fits tight aisles and single-user access. The 26" and 32" widths give more room for carrying items up or for two people working the same position, but they need proportionally more room to maneuver.
How do I know if my model includes a handrail?
Handrails become standard beginning at 2 steps for most configurations and are standard on every model with 5 or more steps. The model number indicates it: N means no handrail, while G and R designate handrail versions. Since taller ladders always include them, the handrail decision only comes into play on the shortest models.
