Family · Drinking water ladders

The ladder that touches drinking water.

A caged ladder in GRP composite, reinforced with glass fibre, designed to work in direct contact with water intended for human consumption. It does not rust, and its material is ACS-certified: the certificate ships with every ladder.

02 — Why ACS

Composite in contact with drinking water.

In France, the health conformity certificate (ACS) is mandatory for organic materials in contact with water intended for human consumption, such as the resin in a composite. It is the ladder’s material that holds it: it was tested by an approved independent laboratory.

Health“ACS-certified material.”

The certificate covers the material, following migration tests in an approved laboratory. It is included with every delivery.

ACSapproved independent laboratory
Water“Migration tests passed.”

Its material has passed the ACS migration tests. The ladder does not rust and does not alter the stored water.

0corrosion
Treatment“Unaffected.”

The composite resists drinking water treatments, in reservoirs and stations alike.

3chlorination · ozonation · UV disinfection
03 — Structures

The structures it is designed for.

Buried reservoir, water tower, station or tank: the ladder follows the dimensions of the structure.

Reservoirs

Buried and semi-buried reservoirs

A closed structure, permanently damp, rarely visited: the ladder stays sound there, and one visual inspection a year is enough.

Water towers

Water towers

Great heights: up to 8,000 mm in the configurator, custom design beyond that, with a rest platform at 6,000 mm; the safety cage protects the whole climb.

Stations

Pumping stations and treatment plants

Chlorinated and ozonated environments, where the composite does not degrade.

Tanks

Tanks and fire water reserves

Water stored for long periods: a ladder that does not rust and that two people install without lifting equipment.

07 — Common questions

Questions before you order.

Six short answers. For anything else, your account manager replies in the pro portal.

Yes. The health conformity certificate covers the ladder’s material: it was issued after migration tests carried out by an approved independent laboratory. It is included with the delivery and available in your resources once your access is approved.
