Our PVC Coated Rungs are safety access steps manufactured with a high-strength TMT bar or mild steel core fully encapsulated with virgin-grade PVC. The steel core provides structural strength, while the PVC outer layer helps protect the rung against moisture, corrosion, chemicals, and demanding environmental conditions.
Also known as PVC encapsulated rungs, PVC foot steps, and PVC manhole steps, these rungs are designed for safe vertical access in manholes, water tanks, sewage treatment plants, utility chambers, inspection pits, and industrial structures.
With options ranging from 8 mm to 25 mm core diameters, PVC coated rungs can be selected according to the required load, dimensions, installation method, and application environment.
PVC coated rungs provide a combination of steel-core strength and PVC surface protection for vertical access applications where moisture, chemicals, and corrosion can affect conventional metal steps.
They are commonly used for:
The PVC surface can also provide an anti-slip grip and high visibility, making the rungs suitable for access points where workers need stable footing in wet or poorly lit environments.

The 16 mm PVC foot step is a commonly selected option where a balance between structural strength and product cost is required. Custom dimensions and core specifications can be considered for application-specific requirements.
PVC coated rungs combine a steel or TMT reinforcement core with a protective PVC outer layer. This construction provides the strength required for vertical access while protecting the core from direct exposure to moisture and corrosive environments.
The available construction options support different access requirements:
PVC coated rungs can support substantial working loads when the correct rung specification and installation method are used.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Typical Safe Working Load | 200–250 kg |
| Maximum Standard Load Capacity | Up to 250 kg |
| TMT Core Tensile Strength | >415 N/mm² |
| Tensile Strength | >2.5 kN |
Actual load performance depends on the core diameter, rung dimensions, concrete condition, anchoring method, installation quality, and application requirements.
PVC coated rungs are designed for environments where conventional unprotected metal access steps can be exposed to moisture, chemicals, and corrosive conditions.
Key features include:
The combination of a reinforced core and PVC outer layer makes these rungs suitable for demanding access points in sewer, water-treatment, utility, and industrial environments.
PVC coated rungs are used in construction, municipal infrastructure, water treatment, and industrial access applications.
Our PVC coated rungs combine a TMT or mild steel core with virgin-grade PVC encapsulation for strength and protection.
Key manufacturing and quality checks include:
PVC coated rungs are designed to provide structural strength, corrosion protection, and secure footing in environments where conventional access steps may be exposed to moisture, chemicals, or sewer gases.
