Ladders for Marine & Harbour Applications
If a staircase isn’t a viable option, fixed GRP Access Ladders can be made to suit exact requirements. Built using anti slip GRP materials, access ladders are a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution in any marine or harbour location. Choose from an upright Cat Ladder with optional safety hoops or a Ships’ ladder which is built at an angle complete with handrails. This solution is ideal for piers and harbour walls.
GRP Cat Ladders
Our Cat Ladders are built using our GRP Box Profiles and pultruded profiles. We design them so they can be fixed vertically to a wall or a platform, we can then add safety hoops if the height of the ladder is 2.5m or more. We can add Self-closing Safety Gates to help prevent trips and falls.
GRP Ships Ladder
This type of ladder is perfect for locations that don’t have the space for a staircase, but a Cat Ladder isn’t suitable. These ladders can make vertical circulation more comfortable in mechanical or service spaces. They usually include a handrail on one side.
