Extension Ladder Solutions for Fire and Rescue Services
Safe Access When Reach Matters
An extension ladder is vital equipment for fire and rescue teams that need safe access at height. Crews may need to reach upper floors, roofs or windows in fast changing conditions. In these moments, the ladder must be strong, stable and quick to deploy. Supply Plus offers extension ladder options from +AS Fire & Safety and +Bayley, giving fire services and vehicle builders trusted rescue access.
Designed for Fire Service Work
A fire service extension ladder has to do more than extend. It must support real rescue work, repeated use and safe handling by trained crews. It also has to fit the vehicle that carries it. Supply Plus ladder ranges are built for demanding fire and rescue use, with designs focused on strength, stability, grip and long service life. Many options are made to BS EN 1147, the standard for fire and rescue ladders.
+AS Fire & Safety Double Extension Ladders
The +AS Fire & Safety Double Extension ladder range is designed for modern operational needs. These DX ladders offer strong, stable access while keeping a lightweight, rigid build. They are used by fire authorities worldwide and are built for professional rescue work in tough environments.
The design uses high tensile aluminium extrusions, which help provide strength without adding needless weight. A rivet and truss construction places material where strength is needed most. This helps the ladder stay rigid, while also supporting repair and long term value. If parts are damaged, components can be replaced or factory repaired.
+AS Fire & Safety Triple Extension Ladders
For greater reach, the +AS Fire & Safety Triple Extension ladder range gives crews a stable high level access option. These TX ladders are in use in more than 50 countries and are built to BS EN 1147. They support rescue teams that need dependable equipment for demanding calls.
The TX range uses high tensile aluminium, riveted truss construction and replaceable parts. Stabiliser bar options are available, including removable versions or designs where the bar can be omitted for narrow stowage. Reduced ladder and stabiliser widths can also help suit standard three beam gantry layouts on fire appliances.
+Bayley Double Extension Ladders
+Bayley Double Extension ladders range from 3.9m up to 10.5m and are available in two or three section formats. They use swaged rung and box section construction to create a robust and durable ladder. The large diameter rungs, ribbed round surfaces and lighter box stile sections help improve grip while keeping the ladder practical to handle.
High tensile aluminium alloy extrusions add strength and rigidity. This gives crews a stable extension ladder for daily use, while helping bodybuilders choose equipment that suits appliance layout, access needs and stowage space.
+Bayley Short Triple Extension Ladders
+Bayley Short Triple Extension ladders range from 5.4m up to 7.6m, with two or three section options. They are built with swaged rungs and box section stiles for a strong and lasting access solution. The star shaped rung helps prevent turning, which can improve safety and grip when the ladder is in use.
These short triple extension ladders are useful when services need reach, but also need a compact ladder that is easier to store. Their lighter stile sections and ribbed rung surfaces help balance safe handling with reliable performance.
Stowage and Vehicle Integration
For OEMs, bodybuilders and fleet integrators, extension ladder choice must include the vehicle as well as the crew. The ladder has to fit safely, deploy cleanly and work with the appliance layout. Supply Plus supports efficient vehicle integration with flexible configurations and practical stowage options.
This can help reduce build time and make better use of space on the vehicle. Supply Plus also supports customers with training, spare parts and after sales service, helping keep key ladder equipment ready for use across its working life.
Choosing the Right Extension Ladder
The right extension ladder depends on reach, crew use, stowage space and appliance type. Some fleets need a double extension ladder for access and rescue use. Others may need a triple extension ladder for extra reach, or a short triple option for a more compact layout.
With trusted +AS Fire & Safety and +Bayley designs, Supply Plus can help match the ladder to your fleet, vehicle and operational needs. Speak to the Supply Plus team to discuss extension ladder sizes, section formats, stabiliser options, stowage needs and fleet specification.
