Manhole Access

Lightweight, corrosion-free ladders, safety chains, and handrails for safe confined-space access.

Our manhole access range includes the UKCA CE-marked EasyRISER® modular ladder system, stainless steel safety chains for confined space protection, and GRP handrails for stairways and walkways — all designed to reduce weight, improve safety, and simplify installation compared with traditional steel alternatives.

Significant Weight Reduction

EasyRISER® ladders weigh around 6kg per linear metre — around 70% lighter than galvanised or stainless steel alternatives.

Fully Tested & Compliant

Tested to BSEN14396, and safety chains are fully compliant with WRc Sewers for Adoption, 7th Edition.

Modular & Field-Adaptable

Ladders can be supplied flat-pack or ready-assembled to project-specific lengths; handrails use moulded fittings for quick on-site assembly.

Frequently asked questions

The EasyRISER® system uses glass-reinforced composite — a lightweight, non-conductive and corrosion-free material that exceeds the requirements of BS EN 14396 and avoids the maintenance issues of traditional steel ladders.
