English term or phrase: box ladder
Box Ladder
Box Ladders are used to access large vertical surfaces.
There are full-width trap doors located every 2-3m to provide a good working position during cleaning and prevent a fall down the ladder.
The operator climbs up inside the box ladder.
The side of the box ladder facing the façade is open and allows easy access to the glass.
Box ladders can provide access to irregular surfaces by having telescopic upper or lower sections.
Box Ladders can be vertical or negatively inclined as is typical for airport control towers.
Box Ladders can even run on an inclined track and special box ladders can travel on non-parallel track by having a sliding trolley attachment point.

échelle (fixe) à cage


Explanation:
Le terme "cage" est celui employé par la norme ANSI
http://safemanitoba.com/sites/default/files/uploads/bulletin...
le modèle le plus courant est la crinoline (cerceaux)
http://www.echelle-crinoline.fr/reglementation-echelle-crino...
mais la cage peut aussi être grillagée, en tôle perforée....
http://www.hellopro.fr/echelle-avec-habillage-en-tole-perfor...

L'échelle est forcément dans la catégorie des échelles fixes, donc ce n'est pas forcément pertinent de le préciser en français, néanmoins le terme "échelles fixes de sécurité" est couramment mis en avant par las fabricants

Je ne trouve pas de trace de "box" dans la réglementation américaine concernant les échelles, apparemment le terme serait "cage" ou "basket":

agree  Daryo: "échelle à cage" seulement - il est possible que l'échelle toute entière bouge sur des rails fixés au mur
