Design Purpose and Safe Operation
Stockmaster Mezzalad
This product has been designed to provide floor to floor access where it is positioned on a set of locating brackets
which are fastened to the floor or wall of the building. Examples are mezzanine floors, loading docks and similar
situations. Additionally, with sets of locating brackets installed at multiple positions, the ladder may be relocated
from position to position. When relocating the ladder to a new position, care must be taken to ENSURE THE
LADDER IS CORRECTLY ENGAGED WITH THE LOCATING BRACKETS BEFORE USE. In situations where no wall
exists between floor levels, a locating device is also required at the lower floor level. A Safety Gate is provided at
the upper floor level to maintain the integrity of the perimeter railing.
