From first sketch to approved build

Every project starts with the access problem itself. We then shape the safest, clearest and most durable solution around the people using it and the environment it has to serve.

1

Define the brief

We gather dimensions, operating conditions, movement requirements and any site-specific restrictions.

2

Produce the design

CAD drawings are prepared and refined with the client until the concept is ready for sign-off.

3

Manufacture to spec

The approved design is built using industrial-grade aluminium construction and practical safety detailing.

4

Deliver a dependable solution

The finished ladder or platform is made to be safe, intuitive and robust in day-to-day use.

Three common starting points for bespoke projects

Most enquiries begin with the customer providing (1) imagery, sketches and support information. We determine the specific requirements and (2) prepare a formal quotation based on our extensive experience- (3) when the order is placed we issue a certified CAD drawing for approval prior to manufacture. We've been supplying bespoke access solutions for over 40 years !

Special Ladders with Round Rungs

Round serrated rungs are orbitally riveted into oval hollow section stiles for a robust industrial ladder construction. Portable or fixed variants can be produced to suit plant rooms, structures, pits, towers and other specialist access projects.

Some of our projects

The supplied photos show custom work across platforms, chimney ladders, roof access, hatch entry, truck access, turbine work, machine steps and mobile industrial towers.

Difficult to reach environments

Specialist access platforms

High level and cantilevered platforms for applications where an alternative such as scaffolding can't be used.

Fixed structures

Permanent or removable ladders

Temporary and permanent ladder systems for tall structures, building facades and industrial plant.

Vehicle And machine access

Vehicle, machine and production access

Mobile platforms and maintenance steps allow repeated access tasks around vehicles, machinery and production lines.

Trench & multi level access

Pit, hatch and recessed-entry access

Custom ladders and platforms can bridge awkward openings, trench lines, recessed work areas and roof hatches.

Heavy industry

Wind and energy sector solutions

The imagery shows bespoke access around wind turbine components with heavy industrial solutions where standard products would not be suited.

One-off fabrication

Custom-engineered aluminium builds

From compact removable ladders to large train access platforms , each project can be built around the exact task and site specific requirements.

Industrial materials and practical details

Typical builds use prime quality mill finish aluminium extrusion with bolted and riveted construction, alongside tread / rungs, with handrail and portability or fixed options selected to suit the application.
