When you need a ladder for doing most types of
home renovation job, gardening, at school or just for general purpose use you
can’t beat one of the quality aluminium ladder available everywhere.
When buying a ladder you need a model that is
both light and strong, something that is easy to use and move around by one
person. A ladder that is safe, sturdy and weatherproof. Aluminium ladders come
in a huge range of different sizes of step and extension to hand multipurpose ladders
of all grades.
These are the five major reasons that many people now choose
to buy and use aluminium ladders instead of the heavy wood or fiberglass models:
1. Weight Advantage
Aluminium ladders are much lighter than both wooden and
fiberglass ladders of the same size. If you have ever tried to use a large
wooden extension ladder or a fiberglass model, you will know just what we’re
talking about. An aluminium ladder of the same dimensions is very easy for one
man to manage. Much easier than either a timber or fiberglass model. They come
with weight limits so you can purchase the correct ladder to suit your body
style and overall needs.
2. Weather proof
When you own an aluminium ladder you will not have to worry
about the ladder or its fittings corroding or rusting or the body of the ladder
breaking down because of UV light,if you keep it outside like you would if you
had a fiberglass or wooden ladder. This is a real bonus when you have
restricted indoor space.
3. Fireproof
Aluminium is fire proof under normal temperatures and will
not burn. Aluminium does melt when it is placed under extreme heat, but then the
surrounding temperature would be far too hot to use it, so this is not really
an issue for most people.
4. Versatility and strength
Aluminium ladders are often the favorite choice of
firefighters and rescue workers because they are so versatile, exceptionally strong,
durable and sturdy
5. Affordability
The much lower price of aluminium ladders, verse the
available options of wood or fiberglass models in similar sizes and strengths makes
them a far better deal. Because they are so economically priced, easy to use
and virtually maintenance free most tradesmen, industrial, local body and even
government departments have a preference for aluminium ladders over any other
type
The advantages of using aluminium ladders over any other
type of ladder are that they are light enough to be used by one person under
most conditions. Aluminium ladders do not corrode or warp if left outside in
the sun or rain. They are fire and heat resistant under normal use and can
easily be stored.
Aluminium ladders have the advantage of being strong, robust
and sturdy and almost maintenance free. They are cheaper than other types of
ladders and come in a huge range so it is easy to find one in the size, grade
and configuration you require.
