FRP Access Ladder with Operator Safety Deck (OSD)
(8) The significance of this design is that the operator stands on an 18" x 18" deck alongside the tank at a level 42" below the height of the manway opening. Or, the ladder can be located to provide access to electronics mounted on the dome of the tank. It is common to have multiple ladders; one to access the manway and one (or more) to access electronics. “Saloon style” safety gates are available as an option in stainless steel, galvanized steel, and powder coated (yellow) steel for increased operator safety. While this ladder offers superior safety and performance, its simplicity of design translates into superior value too. Because intermediate brackets are not used on PE tanks, we provide “stiffeners” for our ladders when the length exceeds 72"NOTE: Prior to fabrication of your ladder, we will need a drawing of the tank or the size and manufacturer - we will then submit a drawing for your approval. /Asset/1029.jpg
FRP Access Ladder with Boarding Rails
(8) This ladder is commonly used for accessing the top manway, electronics, and the dome of the tank. The boarding rails serve as an “assist” for ladder egress and return. Generally speaking, the top rung height is the height of the flat on which the tank manway is located. Or, if the ladder is located somewhere other than the manway location, then the top rung is the same height as the top knuckle (top of straight side). Safety gates are available as an option in stainless steel, galvanized steel, and powder coated (yellow) steel for increased operator safety.

FRP Access Ladder with Safety Cage and Boarding Rails
(8) This ladder is also commonly used for accessing the top manway, electronics, and the dome of the tank. The boarding rails serve as an “assist” for ladder step-off and step-on, and the safety cage is an OSHA requirement when the top rung height exceeds 20 feet (although many companies require cages for all ladders regardless of height). Generally speaking, the top rung height is the height of the flat on which the tank manway is located. Or, if the ladder is located somewhere other than the manway location, then the top rung is the same height as the top knuckle (top of straight side).
