The utility model discloses a steel ladder compartment for a pedestrian courtyard, and relates to the technical field of a mine safety appliance. The steel ladder compartment comprises a ladder platform and a steel ladder, wherein the ladder platform is arranged on the wall of the courtyard; the steel ladder is arranged on the ladder platform; the ladder platform is composed of an anchor rod, a base plate, a beam and a steel rail; one end of the anchor rod is inserted into the wall; the base plate is welded at the other end of the anchor rod; the beam is welded on the base plate; the steel rail is paved and fixed on the beam; a ladder opening for placing the steel ladder is also reserved in the steel rail. The steel ladder compartment has the beneficial effects that reduction of destructive power of an impact wave is facilitated by the overall structure strength of the steel ladder compartment in a form of a grating structure, the steel ladder compartment is less in repair maintenance, and the material is corrosion resistant, good in safety, long in service life, and high in cost performance. In addition, a lot of eliminated rail scraps in the mine production process or tubular products of which the strength meets the requirements are adopted as main materials, so that the cost is greatly reduced.
