Safety Ladders for Milk Plant
Safety Ladders for Milk Plant
Our client undertook a complete mechanical plant design for a milk plant in New South Wales. This included three large tanks with top access safety platforms; this was to allow for easy installation and removal of large aerator mixers. Their design included ladders and ladder cages to provide safety to personnel using the roof mounted manhole access. These ladders also needed to be lockable to prevent non-permitted access.
Treadwell was engaged to provide the FRP ladders and ladder cages.
Project Challenges
- Selected material had to accommodate the extreme Australian outdoor weather conditions.
- Being installed in a corrosive environment, the selected material had to able to withstand such conditions.

Treadwell Solution
- LadderEX® is the choice alternative to metallic ladders and cage systems, providing superior corrosion resistance and electrical transparency.
- LadderEX® ladders and cages are produced using a premium grade resin system with flame retardant and ultraviolet inhibitor additives.
- For added safety, the ladder rungs are designed to be non-skid.
- FRP is simply fabricated and modified on site. This means there is no need for any hot works permit.
- Being lightweight and easy to install, FRP is very manageable during construction.
- Given the nature of FRP, any system utilising it is virtually maintenance free, keeping maintenance costs to a minimum.
