Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why choose fibreglass over aluminium? Fibreglass is non-conductive, making it the only safe choice for working near electricity. It is also more resistant to weathering and chemicals.

2. Is this ladder heavier than the aluminium version? Yes, fibreglass is naturally denser than aluminium to provide the necessary insulation and strength, but it remains manageable for one person to move.

3. Does it require special storage? While highly weather-resistant, it is best stored out of direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the fibreglass coating over many years.
