the gorilla guard ladder Cageenclosure is designed to retrofit existing ladder cages that do not meet the oSHa requirements as described in Section 1910.27. (fig. d9 below)
the oSHa standard requires that any elevated platform that does not extend 4 feet beyond the center of the ladder rungs must use some method of extending the ladder cage to the handrail.
See diagram for a representation of oSHa standard 1910.27. (fig. d9 below)
the standard is intended to prevent employees from falling in-between the ladder cage and the handrail.

oSHa mandated retrofitof existing Cages

oSHa adopted the 1910.27 standard in 1971 from the anSi
14.3-1956 standard for fixed ladders. in an interpretation dated 5/27/04,
oSHa states the following:
“the 1910.27 standard which was promulgated in 1971 does not have
‘grandfather’ provisions that would allow the fixed ladders built prior to
the publication of the standard to be exempt from the 1910.27
requirements. therefore, ladders and associated safety cages
(built and installed prior to the publication of oSHa 1910.27 standard) which do not meet
1910.27 requirements must be retrofitted to meet 1910.27
fig. d9 requirements.”
Potential fall Hazard eliminated and oSHa reqUirementS are met.

q. How many bars are required for each location?a. the gorilla guard ladder Cage enclosure is packaged in kits of 5 bars. the vast majority of locations will require 5 bars/location. Some configurations will require fewer or more bars. the average bars/location will be 5.
q. will the gorilla guard extensions corrode?a. no. the extensions are hot dipped galvanized to aStm a123 specifications.
q. are locknuts provided with the kits?a. no. galvanized locknuts are not commercially available. the patented clamps used in the gorilla guard enclosure kits do not require locknuts or lock washers.
q: Can extensions be custom fabricated, then welded or bolted and meet oSHa requirements?a. yes. welding, drilling and bolting are acceptable means of retrofit, however the installed cost of welding or drilling will be 2 to 3 times greater than the gorilla guard ladder Cage enclosure.

q: what information do we need to collect in our survey?a. a survey can be completed very quickly. each location that is less than 4’ from the center of rungs to the edge of the handrail, or if the side clearance from center of ladder rungs to edge of handrail is 3’ or less, the cage must be retrofitted. See diagram (this page). the only additional information for ordering is the type of handrail, ie angle iron or other. Kit # Std-1 fits all angle applications, and kit #Pt-1 fits all other configurations.
q: How long does it take to install the gorilla guard ladder Cage enclosure Kit?a. the kit can be installed in about 20 minutes. the total installation time including warehousing, staging, and installation will be about 2 man hours.
