Bedford Reinforced Plastics’ ReadyLadder now NSF-certified

Bedford Reinforced Plastics’ ReadyLadder fixed-access ladder products have earned NSF construction certification for water-contact applications.

The ReadyLadder modular ladder system has undergone rigorous testing and has been officially certified to meet NSF, ANSI and CAN 61 standards for water contact. All components of the ReadyLadder system have achieved certification, making them suitable for use in water treatment facilities.

Bedford offers NSF-construction-certified ReadyLadder and walk-through kits in two sizes: the 10' ReadyLadder and walk-through kits are certified for potable water contact in 8,000-gallon and greater tanks; and the 15' ReadyLadder and walk-through kits are certified for potable water contact in 10,000-gallon and greater tanks.

The NSF certification process involves extensive product testing, material analyses, unannounced plant inspections and ongoing retesting of products to ensure they consistently meet the high standards required for certification.

ReadyLadder systems are used in a wide range of potable water applications, including environments where the leaching of FRP materials into water must be avoided, such as inside tanks and fish hatcheries. Water treatment plants, as well as food and beverage operations, will particularly benefit from these NSF-certified products.
