Abstract:
An equipment tower) having a ladder formed of a plurality of ladder segments each joined to a respective tower segment by a pivotal connection prior to the tower segments being stacked during erection of the tower. The pivotal connection provides a degree of freedom of movement which facilitates the interconnection of adjoining ends of the ladder segments after stacking of the tower segments. Additional accommodation of as-built spacing of the adjacent ends of the ladder segments may be provided by a connecting segment. The pivotal connection may be a rod inserted through a rung of the ladder and supported by a support assembly attached to the tower segment.

Claim (Index 10):
A method comprising:\n attaching a respective ladder segment to each of a plurality of tower segments; joining the tower segments together when erecting an equipment tower with respective ends of adjacent ladder segments in proximate alignment; joining the respective ends of the adjacent ladder segments together to form a continuous ladder. attaching at least one of the ladder segments to its respective tower segment with a pivotal connection providing a degree of relative movement between the at least one ladder segment and its respective tower segment, the pivotal connection effective to facilitate the joining of the respective ends of the adjacent ladder segments together; and attaching the at least one ladder segment to its respective tower segment with a secondary connector after the step of joining the respective ends of the adjacent ladder segments together.
