Title: Fiberglass Ladders.
Post by: Rob.Hall on May 09, 2007, 10:25:10 am
Does anyone have any experience using fiberglass ladders?
Will they replace the alloys in time?

I need to buy a new one and have mixed feelings as to which way to go  ???

They are handy if your working around electricity other than that way too heavy

As mentioned, they're designed for electicians and really heavy. I like a heavy wooden ladder but fibreglass ones are like lead weights. Look nice though :)

Plenty of work and plenty of competition, been in the business almost 20 years so a lot of old contacts and contracts
Its a bit differnt over here most residential jobs are close to a days work and commercial work is usually pretty high
