Bespoke Train Depot Pit Ladder

28th August 2026

We have recently designed and manufactured a bespoke train depot pit access ladder, providing safe and convenient access and egress for both day-to-day maintenance activities and emergency situations. The ladder has zero chance of moving or slipping when deployed due to the innovative way it is always in contact with both pit walls, while allowing easy passage past it at the base.  

The ladder has been developed specifically around the operational requirements of the depot, combining robust construction and ease of use with an innovative storage solution.

When not required, the ladder is designed to store neatly against the side of the inspection pit in a specially designed position, keeping the working area clear while ensuring the ladder remains readily accessible when needed.

It’s another example of how we engineer bespoke access solutions around challenging environments where standard off-the-shelf equipment simply isn’t suitable.
