Ladder access towers provide safe, compliant vertical access to height — a stable, purpose-built tower for getting operatives and equipment up and down a structure without relying on leaning ladders. Red Safety Netting supplies and installs ladder access towers nationwide for principal contractors and main contractors.
Safe vertical access to height
A ladder access tower is a free-standing or tied tower with an integrated ladder, giving controlled vertical access to a working level. Compared with leaning ladders or improvised access, a properly installed tower offers a stable, guarded route up and down — reducing the risk at one of the most common points of failure on site. We specify and install towers suited to the height, ground conditions and access needs of each project.

Ladder Access Towers FAQs
What is a ladder access tower?
It is a purpose-built tower with an integrated ladder that provides safe, controlled vertical access to a working level — a stable, guarded alternative to leaning ladders or improvised access.
When should I use a ladder access tower instead of a ladder?
Wherever access is repeated, at significant height, or needs to carry equipment as well as people. A tower provides a stable, guarded route up and down and removes much of the risk associated with leaning ladders.
Are your installers certified?
Yes. Our teams hold CISRS, FASET and CSCS certifications and install towers to current standards and regulations.
How is the right tower specified?
We assess the access requirement, height, load and ground conditions, then specify a tower configuration suited to the task and site.
Do you install nationwide?
Yes. Red Safety Netting supplies and installs ladder access towers across the UK for principal contractors and main contractors.
