FRP Ladders
Our FRP ladder design options include standard walk-throughs and safety cages, as well as FRP ladders with retractable walk-throughs.


Composite Engineering’s MaxiLADDER FRP ladders are designed and built for maximum design life with zero maintenance. Our FRP ladder design options include standard walk-throughs and safety cages, as well as ladders with retractable walk-throughs for applications such as manholes, pits or indoor roof access points where covers are used.
Fabricated from all Vinyl Ester materials, our FRP ladders provide a safe and long-lasting solution to height access issues in areas susceptible to corrosion, electrical conductivity and slippery surfaces. We can supply ladders in any number of configurations, including those with retractable arms, fall arrest cages and systems, side access, folding temporary access and extension ladders.
Our retractable arms have been designed to maximise the use of composite materials. The arms are easy to extend and seamlessly lock into place. Once folded back down the extendable arms rest flush with the top edge of the ladder.
We design each ladder to conform with the Australian Standard AS1657-2018. We ensure that landings, FRP ladder cages and walkthroughs are provided when needed and bespoke design all our FRP ladders fit into the space where they are installed.
If your project requires a ladder cage, we here at Composite Engineering have an integrated composite ladder cage solution that can be fitted on ladders that extend above 2 meters of the ground.
Some projects require a landing to be fitted at certain intervals for added safety while ascending the ladders. We can include complete composite landing which we manufacture from our FRP grating and FRP structural profiles.
We can advise the best ladder solution for your requirements, including design requirements to ensure that they will meet all relevant Australian safety standards.
Our engineers will use the site measurements provided to design each ladder to our client’s individual needs. To ensure that the spacing of rungs, the stiles and the brackets all conform to AS 1657-2018 we draw each ladder in CAD before we assemble the ladder.
