Ladders and Platforms
Safe, Reliable Access Solutions
for Every Site
Safety That Exceeds the Standard
At Franklin Hodge, safety is not an option – it’s built in. Our fixed industrial ladders and rest platforms comply with both Health & Safety Executive (HSE) and Factory Safety Association (FSA) standards.
The FSA requires rest platforms at lower intervals than HSE guidelines, meaning Franklin Hodge’s systems go beyond compliance to deliver exceptional workplace safety.
Every design reduces fatigue during climbs, improves grip with non-slip work platforms, and provides stable rest points to prevent falls or strain – making our access solutions safer than many leading alternatives.
