Fixed FRP Ladders
One way that you can save on your maintenance cost is by installing climbing equipment that does not require any maintenance. FRP Ladders are economical, durable and safe choices that will save you a lot of money over their life span. In addition, they dramatically reduce the risk of accidents and liability. Access Industrial offers fixed and portable FRP ladders for applications in corrosive environments. Our ladders are virtually everywhere: under roads, in pumping stations and in manholes. Although you may never see them, they perform day after day, keeping your maintenance costs to a minimum. A-Rated by the Road Authority.
Access Industrial’s ladders come complete with FRP wall attachment brackets and 316 Stainless Steel or FRP bolting hardware. Once installed, they do not require any maintenance at all. FRP ladders will last as long as, or longer than, the structure they are attached to.
You can find our FRP ladder in sewers, wastewater treatment plants and chlorine rooms all over North America. We can provide you with NSF 61 compliant ladders for your drinking water reservoirs. Our ladders are everywhere, but you might never have seen us. Our ladders are performing day after day, in deep dark holes, keeping your maintenance cost at bay.
Typically, ladder shop drawings for your requirements can be provided within a day from your order. The majority of our ladders are standard with a 400 mm inside width, but we can provide you with inexpensive custom solutions if you need it. Just give us a call and talk to the designer directly.

Access Industrial’s ladders are produced using premium Iso polyester resin with flame retardant and UV inhibitors. We can also provide you with ladders that are made entirely with NSF 61 compliant resins which can be used in drinking water reservoirs. They come complete with NSF61 compliant FRP wall attachment brackets and 316 Stainless Steel bolting hardware.
Sizes and availability
Access Industrial’s ladders are produced in a standard 19 ½” overall ladder width with a 16” rung width. The rungs are spaced 12” apart. We can make the ladders at any length and they are designed in full compliance with OSHA 1910.23, OSHA 1926.1053 and your local building code.
Most of the FRP Ladders we make are safety yellow. But we can also make them in dark grey.
We typically ship them fully assembled so they can be installed in the field within a few hours.
Some ladders may require longer stand-offs or special brackets with additional bracing. We have many inexpensive solutions available to suit your needs.
Accessories
All our ladders can be equipped with devices that facilitate access.
The Double UP!® Extendable Ladder rails are extensions on either side of the ladder. They are available in three versions. They can be mounted behind, on the side, or in front of the ladders, depending on the openings they have to fit through. Pull them up when you need them and retract them when you are done.
