Feel More
Secure
Lancaster’s new concept in Silo Ladders
helps,you feel more secure when climbing
yourself or watching from the ground.
Details count when you’re high off the ground Now
Lancaster, the most trusted name m silo equipment,
presents the most advanced Silo Ladder System
available today
We’ve built in extra knee room for easier climbing
Our ladder rungs are smooth to the hand, yet give
shoes a sufe grip And our platforms feel more solid
under your feet than any you’ve ever had before
UNMATCHED DURABILITY
No other silo ladder system is built like a Lancaster
All components are solid steel No light gauge
metal here Our hot dip galvanizing gives you rust
protection typically rated for more than 45 years
And it’s all connected with heavy duty, double
coated Grade 5 bolts
A BETTER PLATFORM
You'll like the sturdier, roomier platform It latches
and unlatches with just a flick of your foot so you can
keep a better hand grip Tested to exceed ASAE load
requirements. That means added stability as you work
FITS ANY SILO
The new Lancaster Silo Ladder System fits new or
used silos, stave or poured Or you can get just the
cage to fit your existing ladders.
Feel safer yourself, and more confident in the
safety of your workers
