============================ FIBRE GLASS LADDERS ==============================================
Fibreglass Ladders
Trugrid Fibreglass ladders combine strength, safety and durability to provide a wide range of industrial ladders that have excellent insulation properties. The pultruded fibreglass stiles have been electrically tested to 90kv over a length of 300mm. The ladder stiles used on Trugrid ladders are of pultruded polyester resin and glass fibre. Long term weatherability and strength is achieved by utilising axial glass mat and a synthetic veil on the surface of the section. Each individual ladder is supplied with a certificate of compliance.

Pultrusion is a continuous moulding process whereby reinforcing fibers are saturated with a liquid polymer resin and then carefully formed and pulled through a heated die to form a part. Pultrusion results in straight constant cross section parts of virtually any shippable length.

Putting Safety First

Our entire ladder product range undergoes stringent quality tests in compliance with both SABS 1304-1980 and ANSI 14.5 standards. Great care and effort is taken to ensure we manufacture high quality products, at a competitive price within the stipulated time frame.

  • Step Ladders>
