Ladders, Platforms & Handrails for Tanks & Vessels

Ladders, platforms & handrails offer safe access to tanks

Many of the tanks and vessels built by Stainless Fabrication are outfitted with accessories that allow safe access to various parts of the tanks.  We follow OSHA guidelines when designing this type of equipment for use with tanks.  A variety of equipment combinations and materials are available.

Tank accessory options

• Fixed steel ladders (without a cage; up to 20’ in climbing length)
• Fixed steel caged ladders (up to 30’ in climbing length)
• Steel handrail and toe board (around perimeter of tank top head)
• Safety gates (for caged ladder and handrail combinations)
• Steel rest platforms (provide a rest-stop every 30’ to top of tank)
• Steel crossover platforms & catwalks (for access from top of one tank to an adjacent tank)
• Winding steel staircase (wraps around tank perimeter; minimum tank diamerter is 5-feet)
• Stand-alone steel spiral stairs (only available in limited cases per OSHA guidelines)
