Norwesco Ladder for Elliptical Leg Tank 2635/3135

The Norwesco Ladder for Elliptical Leg Tank 2635/3135 is a steel access ladder cut to match the sidewall geometry of Norwesco's 2635 and 3135 elliptical leg tanks. It gives your crew a fixed climbing point to reach the top of the tank instead of dragging a portable ladder out to the trailer every time. This is a hardware accessory, not a tank — a steel ladder kit that ships as its own freight item.

Does it fit your setup?

This ladder fits the Norwesco 2635 and 3135 elliptical leg tanks — the mounting profile is cut for those two elliptical bodies, so match your tank to one of those model numbers and you are set. The hard numbers: it stands 65 in tall on a 36 x 36 in footprint, is fabricated from steel, and weighs 30 lb empty. Because it is steel structural climbing hardware rather than a rotomolded poly part, mount it per Norwesco's instructions and put the rails, rungs, and fasteners on a routine inspection schedule. If you are laying out top-fitting access and inspection routines around this ladder, our guide on tank ladder and manway access engineering covers OSHA 29 CFR 1910.23 fixed-ladder compliance, confined-space entry hardware, and top-fitting layout.

How it ships

This steel ladder kit ships LTL freight, with the rate quoted live to your ZIP code. Norwesco stocks from a national plant network — Fairfield, TX; Griffin, GA; Hanford, CA; Shawnee, OK; St. Bonifacius, MN; Tooele, UT; and Washington Court House, OH — and your order routes from the nearest one to hold freight down. At 65 in tall and 30 lb it is a manageable LTL piece, and the most economical way to move it is usually to put it on the same shipment as the 2635 or 3135 tank it mounts to. If you are buying the tank and the ladder together, combine them on one LTL booking rather than paying two freight legs.

The mistake to avoid

Do not order this ladder for a round Norwesco tank or a different leg-tank series. It is cut for the elliptical 2635/3135 body profile, and the curvature and leg spacing on other Norwesco applicator and leg tanks will not line up. If you are still choosing between tank models, work through the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide first, and see our overview of Norwesco applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer for how these platforms are classified on non-roadable trailers. See the technical drawing on this page to confirm mounting dimensions against your tank before you order.
