Standard Parapet Ladder Kits (5 step, 4 step and 3 step)
The RoofStep Ladder (LD) series is a modular system that enables workers to move from one level to another with guardrails on the upper elevation to help prevent a fall to the lower level. Upgrade your system to safely scale parapet walls and other changes of elevation on your rooftop with this fall protection system. These fall prevention systems come in several different styles of kits and are designed to have the engineered ladders on the face and back of the parapet walls and a platform over the parapet area in order to help protect the roof. This fall safety system utilizes our RoofGuard baseplates in order to ensure optimum weight is allotted to all of the engineered approved points, all the while without requiring any drilling into the rooftop, meaning you will not have any resealing worries.
These rooftop safety systems come in standard (or custom) kits; elements of the system are pre-assembled with simple to follow instructions and a singular tool for installation. This free-standing, portable, modular system is constructed with corrosion resistant lightweight aluminum tubing and utilizes counter weighted baseplates. With no rooftop penetration, your roof will remain intact and you will not have to worry about any unexpected leaks.
RoofStep Parapet Ladder systems have been designed to meet or exceed all major North American safety standards/regulations including Ontario MOL requirements, ANSI, OSHA, Canadian OHS & WorkSafeBC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does RoofStep attach to my parapet wall?
- Each RoofGuard system is designed to be freestanding and not require any drilling into your roof membrane. This is also true of RoofStep Ladder and Crossover systems, which also don’t require permanent attachment to your wall either.
Can a parapet wall be used as fall protection?
- Yes. A parapet wall would be similar to a guardrail system as long as it meets the minimum height requirement set out by Working at Heights legislation in your province. In Ontario the minimum height is 48 inches.
Is this something I could install on my own?
- We strongly recommend that any RoofGuard System is installed by one of our certified installers to ensure proper installation. Systems come with an installation manual, engineered drawings and can be performed with one tool.
Does RoofStep integrate with guardrail systems?
- Yes. RoofStep Ladder and Crossover systems will integrate with RoofGuard, since each system is modular and fully customizable. This enables end users to create a fully compliant system for workers who are working at heights.
What is RoofStep commonly used for?
- RoofStep is most commonly used for access up and over parapet walls. It is also used for other obstructions which cause a tripping hazard such as pipes, gaps and other hazards.
