Water Tank Spiral Ladder

Custom access for cylindrical water tanks

Laddertech designs and manufactures water tank spiral ladders for access to the top of cylindrical tanks. Each solution is reviewed against the tank dimensions, surface material, site environment and intended access requirements. Our spiral configuration can be considered for both new and existing tanks.

Designed for your water tank

A water tank ladder needs to fit the structure and the way your team accesses it. Share your tank dimensions, site photos and access requirements with us. Our team can review the information and discuss a suitable configuration for your site.

Routine inspection and maintenance require a suitable route to the tank roof. A water tank spiral ladder follows the curve of the tank, providing an access solution designed around the available space and the tank structure.

The configuration can include handrails, anti-slip steps, landing platforms and tank mounting brackets. The final design is determined through a review of the project requirements and installation conditions.

Spiral Around Tank

Spiral Access Around the Tank

The access route is designed to follow the cylindrical shape of the water tank. Its direction and overall configuration are planned according to the tank and site layout.

Safety Handrail

Safety Handrails

Handrails are incorporated into the access structure to provide support during ascent and descent. The catalogue lists a handrail height range of 900 mm to 1,100 mm, subject to the final configuration.

Intermediate Platform Option

Provides a more comfortable climbing experience for routine inspection and maintenance activities.

Structural Support Braces

Structural Support Braces

Diagonal support braces reinforce the stair structure and help distribute loads. The support arrangement depends on the tank dimensions and engineering assessment.

Landing Platform

Landing Platform

A landing platform provides a defined area for stepping off the ladder. An intermediate platform can also be considered as an option, subject to the project design.

Safety Gate
