Trademaster Fibreglass Extension Ladder

Sliding Extension Ladder - Aluminium Trade Series

Made from aluminium and featuring a sliding extension, this ladder is a reliable, trade-ready option for immediate height access across a range of tasks. It is designed for optimal performance, prioritising both safety and durability. The sliding extension can be adjusted along the main ladder rail to achieve the desired height, offering a versatile solution. A locking mechanism secures the extended sections in place, ensuring stability during use.

Sliding Fibreglass Extension Ladders

Made out of two separate sections that can be extended or retracted to reach different heights, fibreglass ladders are specifically designed to be non-conductive, hence suitable for use in environments where electrical hazards are a concern. A lightweight alternative to metal-built extension ladders, fibreglass ladders are easy to transport, corrosion-resistant, and are able to withstand a range of environments, from harsh exposure to UV rays to temperature variable environments. 

FED – Powermaster Extension Ladder 

Constructed with fibreglass stiles, this extension ladder provides electrical insulation from the ground, making it highly suitable for personnel conducting electrical work. Featuring a lightweight design, the Powermaster extension ladder ensures effortless deployment, while the flat D-rungs offer enhanced safety and user comfort. Moreover, the Strongbox construction significantly reduces twist and sway, improving overall stability.  With the option to choose between a Branach latch or a conventional latch, both choices are designed to maximise safety and stability when working at heights. 

Trademaster Fibreglass Extension Ladder 

Equipped with electrically safe fibreglass stiles that effectively isolate workers from the ground, the Trademaster model offers extendable length options to suit various tasks. Closed lengths include 3.9 m, 4.5 m, and 5.1 m, while extended lengths range from 6.4 m to 8.8 m. With a weight rating of up to 150 kg, the ladder is available with either a Branach latch or a conventional latch, both designed to maximise safety and stability when working at height.

Safe Working Practices With Extension Ladders 

Falls from any height can result in serious injury or death, with the risk increasing significantly at heights above two metres. Even when using a ladder, individuals remain at risk of falling. According to Safe Work Australia, there are several important tips to help ensure safety when using a ladder. These include: 
  • Always maintain three points of contact on the ladder at all times. 
  • Utilising a tool belt or a side pouch to support hands-free climbing and to enhance stability while on the ladder. 
  • Ensuring that only light work is carried out while on the ladder, specifically in situations that allow for single-handed tool operation. 
  • Making sure that no one is conducting any work underneath the ladder. 
  • Not allowing more than one person to be on the ladder at a time. 
  • Not straddling the ladder. 
  • Wearing slip-resistant footwear and in some circumstances, protective gear when conducting work on the ladder. 
Likewise, to select the right ladder for your specific work application, there are a few things to be considered, including: 
  • The type of actions involved in the task. 
  • The stability of the ladder. 
  • The height of the ladder. 
  • The specific ground conditions where the ladder is being set up.

Common Applications For Extension Ladders 

Just as the name suggests, extension ladders are commonly suited for tasks needing significant height access. However, more specific applications include: 
  • Providing access to roofs for repair works, gutter cleaning, and other maintenance tasks. 
  • Window cleaning tasks on multi-level buildings or hard-to-reach areas. 
  • Installing and maintaining equipment, fixtures, and structures at height. 
  • Electrical and lighting work, such as accessing ceiling-mounted lights requiring fixing or repair, installing security systems, as well as running and repairing cables. 
  • Warehousing and inventory management tasks, for instance, involve reaching top shelves and conducting cleaning tasks within hard-to-reach spots.
