5 Benefits of Alumunium Ladder

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.
