Ladder Shield
The "Ladder" shield consists of dual skin shielding media attached to both sides of a ladder frame to provide maximum protection in areas where personnel may come into contact with the shield, such as Stair tower and Derrick areas.
Robust construction - primary radiant shielding incorporates heavy duty woven mesh for maximum heat flux reduction.
Key Features
- Independently tested up to 60 kW/m2
- Heat flux reduction in excess of 80% at 150 mm distance behind the shield.
- Rolled Hollow section framework gives high resistance to wind buffeting.
- All stainless steel type 316L construction.
- Able to withstand continuous thermal cycling.
- Excellent light transmission and ventilation.
- Good protection against wind and snow.
- Quick on site installation and removal, supplied complete with all necessary A4 Stainless Steel fasteners.
- Mesh proven to reduce wind speed by over 70%
- Load tested to 24 kN/m2
