Code-Compliant Elevator Pit Ladder with Integrated Safety Switch

The SmartLadder™ is a non-retractable elevator pit ladder designed to meet ASME A17.1-2022 / CSA B44:22 requirements. A built-in weight-activated switch removes power from the elevator motor and brake when the ladder is in use — helping protect technicians accessing or working in the pit.
