or welds [and certainly no welds]
It sounds like spoken speech to me, not what you'd expect to find it in a formal SOP or similar document.
"The ladder must have no add-ons, and certainly/definitely no welds"
I think I'd translate it as just "The ladder must have no add-ons or welds"
menos
3. adv. U. entre pausas para reforzar o matizar una enunciación negativa previa disminuyendo el número de las opciones posibles. No volveré a ese hotel; menos aún, en verano.
