PRODUCT DETAILS

Aboveground storage tanks are designed and engineered to meet the demanding needs of many industries. They provide a sensible and safe solution for the storage of petroleum products and chemicals at bulk plants, transportation facilities, industrial sites, military bases and airports.

Depending on the size and function of the tank, access to fill ports, pumps, vents and access manways is required. Highland Tank custom fabricates ladders, platforms, stairs and walkways to provide safe convenient access to your tanks no matter the height or configuration.

All access equipment is fabricated to OSHA standards using carbon steel. Standard paint color is safety yellow with other colors available. Step/stair treads, platforms and walkways are non-slip fiberglass grating. Stainless steel construction is also available as a galvanized finish.

Ladders, platforms and walkways are designed to comply with strict OSHA regulations. Carbon steel fabrication with a painted finish is standard. Stainless steel or galvanized finish is available upon request. Mounting brackets and other structural accommodations can be factory-fitted to facilitate field installation. Interior access ladders require a properly sized access manway for safety clearance. Standard or caged external access ladders are designed for access to the tank top, fill port, manways or tank appurtenances. Handrails and provisions for anchoring to a support pad are also included.
