Zinc Thickness Report & HDG Process
HDG ISO 1461 Zinc Report Included
Most suppliers only claim galvanizing. Every galvanized cage ladder from our factory ships with an HDG ISO 1461 zinc thickness report measured on your actual parts — not a generic sheet.
- 85–100 μm — coating thickness measured per ISO 1461
- Per-part measurement — rungs, side rails and hoops all verified
- Included with order — no extra charge for the HDG report
85–100 μm Coating
Hot-dip galvanized to ISO 1461. A dense zinc layer that protects rungs, hoops and side rails against corrosion.
14 m Dip Tank
Our 14 m galvanizing tank handles long single-run ladders — no ugly field splices on tall outdoor access.
Outdoor & Coastal Ready
Specified for rain, humidity and coastal salt air on chemical plants, water towers and tank farms.

HDG Service Life by ISO 9223 Environment — With the Price of Each Alternative
A galvanized cage ladder is the most honest buy in access equipment when the zinc is matched to the air it must live in. The life figures below are the ISO 14713 rates for our standard 85–100 μm ISO 1461 coating, and each row carries the upgrade price you would pay to jump metals — so you can see exactly where galvanized is the smart money and where paying more is simply paying more. Note how far C2 and C3 air stretches a $95/m ladder: for most inland sites, the upgrade rows are somebody else's commission, not your requirement.
| ISO 9223 Class | Your Site Looks Like | HDG Life, 85–100 μm | Cheaper Than HDG? | Worth Upgrading To |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C2 — rural, low humidity | farmland silos, dry interiors, country pumping stations | 20–35+ years | nothing compliant | no — upgrade money is pure waste here |
| C3 — urban, light industry | town works, warehousing, most food-adjacent exteriors | 15–25 years | no | rarely; SS304 1.8x only for daily washdown |
| C4 — industrial, chemical carry-over | steelworks, plating mist, pulp and paper | 10–20 years | no | SS316 2.5x if chloride-bearing; FRP where acids rule |
| C5 — coastal surf, de-icing salt | harbour jetties, desalination, brine tank farms | 8–15 years | no | SS316 2.5x or engineered FRP — HDG alone needs a mid-life plan |
Your zinc thickness report — measured on your actual parts, not a sample coupon — ships with the MTC 3.1 in every order. Those two documents are what turn the table above from a promise into your maintenance plan, and neither is ever a line item on our quote.
Decision Shortcuts
Choose Hot-Dip When… Choose Another Metal When…
Five verdict lines first, then the four ways buyers mis-specify galvanizing in both directions. Our interest is a ladder you never have to think about again — which sometimes means selling you less metal, not more.
| Condition on Your Site | Verdict | Anchor Number |
|---|---|---|
| Inland or urban site, rain and sun only | HDG — stop reading, start climbing | $95/m, 15–35 year zinc, done |
| Daily caustic or food-grade washdown | SS304 | 1.8x the HDG rate, PMI-verified TISCO stock |
| Salt spray reaching the climb, or brine mist | SS316 or engineered FRP | 2.5x HDG — still cheaper than replacing HDG at year 12 |
| Acids or chlorines splashing the route | FRP with matched resin grade | project-priced; metal of any grade is on a countdown |
| Climb over 24 ft on a US-regulated site | Cage on pre-2018 ladders (grandfathered to 2036); new installs need LSS/PFAS — HDG carries either route | galvanizing and compliance are separate decisions |
| Mis-Specification | What It Really Costs | The Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless inland "for safety margin" | 1.8x–2.5x spend on air HDG already beats for decades | buy the zinc report instead — it is free and it is evidence |
| Paint system specced over galvanizing indoors | paying to protect a coating that outlives the paint | mill-bright HDG; repaint money belongs on the C5 rows only |
| Thin-coat "galvanized finish" accepted on paper | half the microns is roughly half the life | insist on ISO 1461 85–100 μm measured on your parts — ours reports by part |
| HDG forced onto surf-zone routes | 8–15 year life spent like it was 35 | step to SS316 there; we say so in the quote, not after delivery |
Feature to Outcome
What $95 a Meter Actually Buys You
Five lines that separate a factory galvanized cage ladder from a catalog markup with the same word on it.
| Feature | Advantage | Your Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 85–100 μm ISO 1461, measured per part | zinc thickness reported, not promised | your 15–35 year maintenance plan rests on a document |
| 14 m single-dip tank | long climbs galvanized in one piece, no spliced joints | full-height weldment — the strongest geometry ships whole |
| MTC 3.1 mill traceability on Q235B | chemistry provable heat by heat | audit questions end at page one of the file |
| Welds to ISO 5817 C before the dip | quality gate precedes the coating gate | no rework discovery after the zinc is on |
| Trial assembly and photos before crating | fit proven, archived 10 years | your crew bolts, not drifts, holes on install day |
