Steelway manufactures a range of access ladders that can be designed to fit most structures. We design, manufacture and install a range of vertical access ladders plus Ship type / Companionway ladders. When you purchase an access ladder from Steelway you can rest assured it will be designed, manufactured and installed to the latest British Standards, loadings and CE marked.

Vertical ladders


Vertical ladder systems are available which have been designed specifically for use where safe, vertical access is required. Our vertical ladder designs give specifiers flexibility and choice and all ladders including ladder rungs comply with latest British standards and loadings. See BSEN 14122.  Find out more about vertical ladders here.

Ship Type or Companionway ladders


Ship Type or Companionway ladders offer a safe access alternative solution when vertical ladders are unsuitable or there is insufficient space for a staircase. Find out more about ship type or companionway ladders here.

Access Ladder materials

Our ladders can be supplied in a number of material options. These range from mild steel, stainless steel & GRP. We can provide a choice of finishes depending on the material used, this includes galvanised mild steel or painted, stainless steel.

Handhold and Handrail options

Vertical ladders can be supplied with a range of handholds. This includes extended walk-through handholds which are crossed with self-closing safety gates. Extending/retractable handholds are offered where the ladder is below an access hatch. Safety cages / hoops are included where required to offer additional fall protection. Ship type or companionway ladders are supplied with handrails on both sides.
