The UKCA marked EasyRISER® modular manhole ladder system was developed as a high-performance underground access ladder system for Storm, Foul, and Potable water applications. Manufactured in the heart of the UK, EasyRISER® is the market-leading solution and the preferred manhole ladder system supplier for all major water utility networks, including ; Severn Trent Water, Thames Water, Anglian Water, South West Water, Scottish Water, United Utilities, Wessex Water and Yorkshire Water.
EasyRISER® ladders are modular by design and consist of stiles, rungs, wedges, brackets and tapers. Complete ladders can be assembled by unskilled labour and in just a matter of minutes using standard hand-tools.
Each stile measures 685mm long, 72mm wide and 32mm thick. The ladder width outside the stile is 435mm, 380mm internal and the rungs are 30mm diameter with 300mm spacing. Ladders are supplied with standard 250mm long brackets that suit both radius and flat chamber walls.
Contractors and water utilities will see major benefits from the EasyRISER® ladder regarding H&S issues. At approximately 6 kgs per metre, the ladders are 70% lighter than galvanised and stainless alternatives.
Advanced Composite Manhole Ladder Solutions With two material options—Grey (Nylon 66) for Storm/Potable and Yellow (PBT) for Foul/Aggressive environments—EasyRISER® is the UK’s premier composite modular ladder. Because the system is modular and supplied ex-stock, we offer a competitive composite manhole ladder price by reducing the need for expensive site visits, bespoke measurements, and heavy lifting equipment.
BS EN 14396 Compliant Underground Access EasyRISER® is an engineered underground access ladder system designed specifically for the rigorous demands of water networks. Fully tested to BS EN 14396 (Fixed Ladders for Manholes), our system provides superior corrosion resistance and long-term safety compared to traditional steel. As a leading manhole ladder system supplier, we ensure every production run is batch-tested for compliance, providing safe vertical access for sewer chambers, utility shafts, and confined spaces.
Ladders are manufactured from two different raw materials dependent on application. For Foul (Yellow), we manufacture using PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) and for Storm (Grey) using Nylon 66.
Traditionally, manhole ladders were fabricated from galvanised mild steel or stainless steel which had extended fabrication lead times. The EasyRISER® ladder is available ex-stock and can be delivered on a next-day basis, if required. There is no pre-measurement required on-site as components can be assembled to any length and cut to exact lengths using a standard hand saw.
EasyRISER® ladders have all been independently tested in accordance with BS14396 – Fixed Ladders for Manholes. We batch test every production run to ensure full compliance with the requirements set out in the standard
The EasyRISER® system has been successfully installed on most utility networks. The EasyRISER® system is commonly installed alongside Fabricated Steel Access Covers & Frames to ensure safe vertical access within manholes.
