Work Platform Ladder Specifications

You may be interested to learn the differences between why you might want a fiberglass ladder as opposed to an aluminum ladder. One of the main benefits that fiberglass ladders have over aluminum ladders is that they are non-conductive. This property makes fiberglass ladders perfect for those working on electrical work. They are also more resistant to weather conditions and corrosion from acid than aluminum ladders. Fiberglass ladders are also often stronger, sturdier, and heavier than their aluminum counterparts.

Fiberglass ladders do have a handful of drawbacks that you will need to take into account before making the decision to purchase one over an aluminum ladder. Firstly, fiberglass ladders are overall heavier, which makes them less portable than their aluminum counterparts. Fiberglass ladders also will need more maintenance than aluminum ladders. When fiberglass ladders are exposed to sunlight, the ultraviolet rays will deteriorate the outer layer of the ladder and will eventually affect the inner layers as well, and over time, can cause damage to the ladder’s integrity. Make sure to take the time to apply acrylic lacquer or polyurethane coating to your fiberglass ladder to ensure its quality for as long as possible. Fiberglass ladders are also more susceptible to fire, so if you’re looking to frequently fight fires, you may want to opt for an aluminum ladder.
