Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this ladder heavier than the aluminium version? Yes, fibreglass is naturally denser than aluminium to provide the necessary strength and insulation, but at 1.8m, it remains very portable for a single person.

2. Can I use this ladder outdoors? Absolutely. Fibreglass is highly resistant to UV rays and rain, and unlike aluminium, it will not oxidize in coastal or salty air.

3. Is the top platform safe for standing? Standard safety guidelines suggest you should not stand on the very top cap; use the steps below for standing and use the top cap to brace your knees and hold your tools.
