troisieme montant de soutien des echelons

Steel construction with multiple support beams means this piece of equipment is in it for the long haul. Safety yellow finish makes it stand out also. Staircase has handrails and slip-resistant steps. At the top, a large platform with guardrails and padded platform edge to protect the planes exterior. Industrial man Lift's specializes in crew access stands and other aviation fall prevention equipment.

Platform equipped with 42" high handrail, midrail, and toeboard

The stair flight consists of … stair treads … railings
(from my files)
The vertical members of a rigid ladder are called stringers or rails (US) or stiles (UK).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder
Of the 19 stepladder failures, the modes were:
• rail (or stile) failure with aluminium ladders (42%)
• bracing (support between rung and stile) failure with aluminium ladders (21%)
https://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrpdf/rr205.pdf
I would propose accordingly:
"Ladders may be provided with a third rail (stringer/stile) supporting the treads".
Or even: "Ladders may be provided with a third bracing supporting the treads".

Discussion
Also, consider 'rung' as being the more usual word for the step of a ladder.
I have opted for this:
Ladders can be equipped with a third side rail supporting the steps.
Comparing French and English diagrams displaying the different parts of a ladder it seemed to me that in this case "a montant" was equivalent to "side rail". I hope it makes sense. Thank you for your help

I suggest the sentence is:
'Ladders shall be provided with a third level or amount of support for the steps.'
Although it could also be something like a support post if it is a larger structure.
I think it depends on what type of ladder it is, for example aircraft maintenance ladder, mobile stepladder or aircraft boarding ladder to name a few, have a structure that vary from each other.
Just some ideas maybe it can give some leads or ideas.
