IMS supplies GRP ladders designed for safe and permanent access in environments where metal systems are unsuitable due to electrical, chemical, or corrosion risks. Constructed from Glass-Reinforced Polymer (GRP) structural profiles, these ladders combine high mechanical strength with complete electrical insulation and exceptional resistance to weathering and aggressive environments.
Each GRP access ladder is manufactured to meet stringent industrial standards, providing a reliable, maintenance-free alternative to steel or aluminium. Their lightweight, modular design simplifies transport, handling, and installation on-site, particularly where access is restricted or working at height is required.
Product Performance and Benefits
- Non-conductive and spark-resistant: Safe for high-voltage, electrical substation, and chemical plant environments.
- Corrosion-proof structure: Unaffected by saltwater, acids, alkalis, and industrial pollutants.
- Compliant design: Manufactured to BS EN ISO 14122 and BS 4211 for fixed ladder safety.
- Lightweight installation: Typically half the weight of steel equivalents, reducing structural load.
- High strength-to-weight ratio: Engineered GRP profiles maintain rigidity under heavy load.
- Custom configurations: Available with safety cages, rest platforms, and walk-through handrails.
Typical Applications
- Access ladders for plant rooms, tanks, and silos
- Roof and mezzanine access systems
- Power generation and water treatment facilities
- Offshore, marine, and coastal structures
- Industrial process and maintenance areas
IMS GRP fixed ladders provide a dependable, corrosion-resistant solution for permanent access across industrial, marine, and utility environments. Manufactured to precise specifications and proven performance standards, they deliver safety, longevity, and ease of installation in one system.
