Alta Safety Ltd

What Alta Safety Ltd does

Alta Safety Ltd is a New Zealand-based height safety company founded in 1999, headquartered in Christchurch, Canterbury. The company specializes in the design, manufacture, installation, and certification of fall arrest and fall protection systems for the construction and building industry, including anchor points, cable systems, rail systems, walkways, handrails, ladders, davit and needle systems, and maintenance trolleys. Its core technology centers on height safety systems and fall arrest technology compliant with AS/NZS standards, with custom non-damaging mounting solutions intended to preserve building integrity and reduce whole-of-life costs.

Alta Safety operates a project-based, quote-driven business model: customers receive a consultation, followed by detailed design, sign-off, custom manufacturing, installation, and an ongoing annual certification and recertification service to AS/NZS standards. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set upon design finalization, indicating enterprise, project-by-project contract economics rather than standardized catalog pricing. Go-to-market is direct and consultation-led (online, on customer site, or at the Monkeytoe offices), with no retail or e-commerce channel for the core systems business.

In 2025, Alta Safety merged with Monkeytoe Group, New Zealand and Australia's leading aluminium construction and whole-height solution provider, becoming a subsidiary under the Monkeytoe parent. The combination added aluminium structure capabilities (bridges, duct supports, grating, stairs, XBEAM platforms, HVAC platforms and mounts, hatches, screening systems) and a trans-Tasman operating footprint covering New Zealand and Australia, alongside a new online PPE retail channel for harnesses, lanyards, fall arresters, helmets, confined space, and rescue equipment.
