"Ropes with grappling hooks were hurled over the parapet faster than men could cut them or fling them back. Hundreds of long ladders were lifted up. Many were cast down in ruin, but many more replaced them, and Orcs sprang up them like apes in the dark forests of the South."
The Two Towers

The Siege Ladder functions much like Mordor's Siege Tower (Mordor) and allows Isengard infantry to scale an enemy's castle wall.  It can be recruited from a Level 1 Siege Works.  It is only useful on Castle maps. When the siege ladder is killed, units behind it take damage and are knocked back as the ladder falls on them.

Abilities[]

Retract ladder Retract: retract the ladder from the wall it is attached to.

While not a clearly stated ability, the Siege Ladder can be garrisoned with an Uruk Berserker. The Berserker will climb to the top of the ladder where he will remain until the ladder is positioned against a castle wall. Only then will the Berserker leave the ladder. If the ladder is destroyed while a Berserker is riding it, the Berserker will die as well.
