No hidden assumptions. Inputs, units and the working stay visible so you can check the calculation.

Width / spacing unit One side-rail linear mass (kg/m) Enter the actual mass of one longitudinal rail per metre.Rung section linear mass (kg/m) Mass per metre of the rung profile itself.Ladder width / rung length Rung spacing centre-to-centre Piece length unit Straight length per piece Physical piece quantity Procurement allowance (%) Material rate per kg (optional) 0 disables cost.Target mass unit Target mass (optional) Reverse-solves whole equal-length ladder pieces.Supplier kg/m (optional) Compare manufacturer finished mass with the idealized rail-and-rung model.

Calculated result

150 kg

3.333 rungs/m from entered spacing

4 kg/m from two side rails

1 kg/m from rungs

5 kg/m idealized ladder mass · 3.3598 lb/ft

15 kg per ladder length

150 kg order mass

Show the working

1. Rungs per metre = 1000 ÷ 300 = 3.333.
2. Rung contribution = 3.333 × 0.3 m × 1 kg/m = 1 kg/m.
3. Ladder mass/m = 2 × 2 + 1 = 5 kg/m.
4. Project mass = 5 × 3 × 10 = 150 kg.
