HERMEQ steel ladder beams are robust bridging components designed to span large gaps in temporary scaffolding structures. Manufactured from circular hollow section (CHS) steel and fabricated into a ladder-style formation, they provide exceptional load-bearing performance across bays or structural openings. These ladder beams are essential for building safe, suspended, or continuous scaffold platforms.
Each beam is 310mm wide, offering excellent rigidity and a consistent rung layout that simplifies integration into complex scaffold builds. Steel ladder beams are commonly deployed where standard tube and fitting setups fall short, especially in suspended walkways, roof-edge access, and façade retention applications. With size options ranging from 10 ft to 21 ft, these beams offer the flexibility to suit a broad range of engineering designs.
- Equal rung spacing – Simplifies uniform assembly across scaffold spans.
- Compatible with tube & fitting – Slots seamlessly into traditional scaffold frames.
- High load-bearing steel – Welded construction delivers long-term strength and safety.
- Improved span capability – Reduces the need for intermediate supports and increases working clearance.
- Ideal for specialist builds – Frequently used in façade retention, lift shaft voids, and high-reach installations.
Used by scaffolders, main contractors and civil engineers, HERMEQ steel ladder beams support structural integrity where complex bridging or suspended platforms are required. They're engineered for strength and consistency, providing vital support for edge protection, walkways and overhead scaffold works.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Ladders & Stairways, Scaffolding, Building & Working At Height equipment conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

Built to meet the needs of demanding construction environments, HERMEQ steel ladder beams offer strong and reliable bridging between scaffold towers or across structural voids. The ladder formation ensures even load distribution and provides a fixed point layout for additional fittings and tie-offs. With available spans up to 21 ft, crews can work confidently without excessive bracing or compromise to access.
Popular Uses:
- Creating suspended access platforms or walkways
- Bridging lift shafts or voids in floor structures
- Forming cantilever scaffold or façade retention rigs
- Reinforcing scaffold above roof spans or steel beams
Applications:
Ladder beams are essential where scaffold design requires both strength and span without vertical obstructions. Civil works, roofing contractors, and façade specialists use them for building over complex voids while maintaining a safe working surface. Their modular length options, simple integration, and rugged welded frame make them a practical addition to any scaffold inventory. Whether used as load paths or bracing elements, steel ladder beams reduce risk and increase versatility for specialist and general access contractors.
What sizes are available?
Steel ladder beams are available in standard lengths ranging from 10 ft to 21 ft.
What are these beams used for?
They are used to span gaps in scaffolding structures, including voids, lift shafts, and roof spans.
Can they be integrated into standard scaffolds?
