What is an Extension Ladder
Unlike normal ladders that have a standard height, an extension ladder is a ladder that can be extended by pulling out its extendable section. You can adjust its length to the height you require and it can be easily adjusted back to its original height if it’s not in use. This makes it versatile in accessing higher areas in residential or industrial projects. Similar to the regular ladder, you need to lean an extension ladder against a flat and stable surface to keep it securely in place. However, its versatility lies in its additional section, known as the fly, which is movable, allowing you to achieve your desired height with ease.
Why Use an Extension Ladder
Having an extension ladder at hand is a useful way to get access to areas that are often difficult to reach. But there are different types of ladders available in the market. One of which is the fibreglass extension ladder.
Fibreglass Extension Ladders
When it comes to choosing the best-fit ladder, a variety of factors must be considered to ensure safety and durability. Being the more lightweight and durable option, extension ladders made of fibreglass are often the best choice. This is because a fibreglass extension ladder is more durable compared to an aluminium ladder as they’re not prone to bending and are neither susceptible to natural wear and tear. Such extension ladders can withstand strong weather conditions, making them a very strong tool to have. Fibreglass extension ladders are also safe to use around electrical items as well as in wet and slippery conditions.
