Features of the StockMaster Mezzalad

When it comes to accessing mezzanine floors in warehouses, factories, and retail stockrooms, safety and efficiency should never be compromised. Traditional access solutions such as fixed staircases often take up too much space, while portable ladders can create unnecessary risks. That’s where the StockMaster Mezzalad Mezzanine Access Ladder comes in — an innovative, space-saving solution that ensures safe, compliant, and practical access to elevated areas.

The Mezzalad is more than just a ladder. It’s a purpose-designed mezzanine access ladder that combines smart engineering with strict adherence to Australian safety standards. Whether you need to reach storage above factory offices, tea rooms, or mezzanine spaces in a warehouse, the Mezzalad provides a safe, reliable, and space-efficient alternative to bulkier stair systems.

1. Space-Saving Mezzanine Access Ladder Design

One of the standout features of the StockMaster Mezzalad is its fold-away mechanism. Unlike permanent stairs that take up valuable floor space, the Mezzalad is designed to store flat against the wall when not in use. With a simple lift-and-pull action, it’s brought into the working position, ready for safe use within seconds.

This design is particularly valuable in warehousing and retail stockrooms, where every square metre counts. The Mezzanine Access Ladder keeps your workspace efficient without compromising safety.

2. Comfort and Safety in Every Step with a Mezzanine Access Ladder

Climbing ladders is one of the most common workplace activities, but also one of the most hazardous when safety is overlooked. The StockMaster Mezzalad addresses these risks with:

  • Wide 600 mm step width for comfortable, secure footing

  • Dual handrails that extend 90 cm beyond the upper floor for safe step-through access

  • Safety Gate at the upper floor, maintaining perimeter railing integrity

Unlike many conventional ladders, the Mezzalad Mezzanine Access Ladder allows operators to open or close the safety gate only after fully stepping onto the upper floor, eliminating risky manoeuvres while still on the ladder.

3. Simple, Flexible Mezzanine Access Ladder Installation

The Mezzalad is designed with installation flexibility in mind. Using just two universal brackets, it can be fastened to either the upper floor or a wall. Bolts or screws secure the ladder firmly in place, ensuring stability.

For workplaces with multiple mezzanine levels, additional Mezz-Brackets can be installed, allowing the ladder to be moved between areas. With the Mezzanine Access Ladder, versatility is built in.

4. Built for Every Mezzanine Access Ladder Application

The Mezzalad comes in two series, making it adaptable to a wide range of floor heights:

  • VH Series: Four sizes, covering 2.33 to 3.225 metres

  • CM Series: Made-to-order, covering 1.31 to 4.28 metres (Asia Pacific only)

Each ladder automatically adjusts its incline angle between 60° and 70°, ensuring stability and compliance across varying heights.

5. A Fully Compliant and Durable Mezzanine Access Ladder

Safety and compliance are at the heart of the StockMaster design. The Mezzalad is tested to a 150 kg load rating and complies with AS 1892:1.1996, the Australian Standard for portable metal ladders.

For manufacturing plants, warehouses, and logistics facilities, having a compliant mezzanine access ladder isn’t just best practice — it’s a necessity.

6. Technical Considerations for Mezzanine Access Ladder Setup

Safe installation requires considering:

  • Point of Attachment: Structure must withstand a horizontal force of 120 kg

  • Pull-Out Clearance: Allow at least 0.8 metres behind the user

  • Overhead Clearance: Account for increased ladder height when stored

  • Upper Floor Intrusion: Ensure sufficient space for ladder projection

By planning around these factors, businesses ensure smooth, safe operation of their mezzanine access solution.

7. Industries That Benefit from a Mezzanine Access Ladder

The StockMaster Mezzalad is ideal for:

  • Warehousing & Logistics: Safe access to mezzanine storage without wasting floor space

  • Manufacturing: Entry to loft storage, loading docks, or upper-level offices

  • Retail Stockrooms: Compact design gives staff safe access to elevated inventory

It’s important to note that the Mezzalad is not designed for heavy or bulky loads. Only small, light items should be carried, ensuring three-point contact is maintained while climbing.

The Smarter Alternative to Stairs

Compared to fixed staircases, the StockMaster Mezzalad Mezzanine Access Ladder offers a clear advantage: compact, safe, compliant, and simple to install. Businesses don’t have to sacrifice valuable floor space for mezzanine access or compromise on safety with generic ladders.

For industries that demand both efficiency and safety, the Mezzalad provides the perfect balance of practicality and protection.
