Latest Model of Flexible Ladder for Industrial
Purposes

Overview

• One major issue that homes, offices and
  industries have in common is lack of storage. To
  rectify these issues several designers have taken
  advantage of vertical space by installing
  overhead cupboards and shelves.
• But accessing the items stored high up is not
  easy. Stepping on a stool or chair is not safe
  and thats when ladders become popular. The
  ladder is a step stool that helps one to access
  the things stored high, fix light bulbs etc.

Evolution of the Ladder

• There was a time when ladders were made of bamboo
  and wood. But these types of the ladder are not
  suitable for industrial application. Wooden and
  bamboo ladders are now being replaced with
  aluminium and fibreglass, which are stronger and
  can support heavyweight.
• Aluminium and fibreglass have their distinct
  features, based on your requirement it is
  important to pick a ladder of the right material.
  Tough aluminium ladders are still in preference
  FRP ladders India have gained momentum in recent
  years for its features.

Meaning of FRP ladder

• The word FRP stands for fibre - reinforced
  ladder. It is also popularly known as fibre -
  reinforced polymer. This type of ladder is made
  of a composite material of polymer matrix mixed
  with fibre. FRP ladders are widely used in
  industrial applications.FRP ladders are used as
  it is safe, secure, slip residence, easy
  maintenance and corrosion resistance.

Feature of an FRP ladder in comparison to the
Aluminium ladder

• 1. Strength 
• The important feature of a ladder is strength.
  FRP ladder is comparatively stronger than that of
  aluminium ladder. Aluminium is a lightweight
  material hence it lacks the strength that can be
  seen in an FRP ladder. The strength of FRP
  ladders is the main reason for its increased
  usage in industries. 
• 2. Can be used for electrical work
• Aluminium is a great conductor of electricity and
  so is the ladders made out of it. But FRP ladders
  do not have the ability to conduct electricity
  they are electrical resistant making them a safe
  option to use in electrical industries.

• 3. FRP is fire resistant
• The next important difference between aluminium
  and fibreglass ladder is that the latter is the
  capacity of resisting the flames. Fire resistance
  feature of FRP ladders is why firefighters prefer
  them under certain circumstances. The feature of
  fibreglass ladder is such that it does not lose
  its strength or rigidity when exposed to high
  temperatures or flame. In simple terms,
  fibreglass cannot conduct flame hence making them
  stronger than that of aluminum.
• 4. Corrosion resistance
• The last important advantage of using FRP ladders
  is that they have high corrosion resistance than
  that of aluminium ladders. In this quiet common
  in industries to use corrosive chemicals that can
  corrode a variety of materials. So it is
  necessary to use ladders made of materials like
  FRP, which remains unaffected and cannot be
  corroded by harsh chemicals.

Why Buy FRP Access System?

• There is no doubt that steel and aluminum ladders
  are long-lasting and easily available in the
  market. But conventional metal ladders are not
  very effective in corrosion environment like
  industries.
• FRP access system is recommended for Industrial
  application as it offers the rigidity and
  strength required for rough usage. On the other
  hand, the corrosion and electricity resistance of
  FRP ladders are added Benefits. FRP ladders are
  replacing aluminum and steel ladders because of
  their special features like

1. FRP ladders are light in weight, making them easy
   to transport and install where ever necessary.
2. FRP access systems are stronger in comparison to
   other material. It can withstand high pressure
   without losing the framework
3. FRP ladder are low maintenance saving money
4. The corrosion resistance feature of FRP ladders
   is the best part of these ladders. Chemicals,
   fire and heat do not affect the ladder
5. Fibreglass ladders can be customized to the
   preference of the customers. This feature is not
   available in conventional ladders and also
   industries can find ladders suitable for their
   need.
6. FRP ladders can be used in high voltage and
   pressurized areas as their resistant to
   electricity and pressure.

Tips To Maintain An FRP Ladder

• As mentioned earlier in the article FRP access
  system is very low in maintenance.
• Yet it is important to regularly dust the ladders
  and remove of any. Also check the bolts and other
  parts, connection to see if they are functioning
  properly.

Bottom Line

• FRP ladders are recommended for industries like
  marine, architecture, electrical etc. These
  ladders offer the required rigidity and strength
  required to support harsh usage and withstand
  pressure. The features of FRP ladders are making
  it popular among industries and are being
  manufactured more in number to meet the demand.
