Aluminum Straight Ladder – TMST 15

Material Composition

• Made from aluminum alloy, which is a mixture of aluminum with small amounts of other metals like magnesium, silicon, or copper to improve strength and durability.

Key Features:

1. Lightweight: One of the main advantages of aluminum ladders is their light weight, making them easy to carry, transport, and set up.
2. Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum is naturally resistant to rust, making these ladders suitable for use in outdoor or humid environments.
3. Durability: While aluminum is lightweight, it is also strong, offering good support for general use.
4. Non-Magnetic: Aluminum ladders do not attract magnets, which can be an advantage in specific industrial environments.
5. Low Maintenance: Aluminum ladders require little maintenance compared to steel or wooden ladders, as they are less prone to damage from the elements.

Conductivity:

• Electrical Conductivity: Aluminum is a good conductor of electricity, so these ladders should not be used near electrical lines or for electrical work.

Common Applications:

• Household Use: Ideal for general household tasks such as painting, cleaning, or home repairs.
• Light Commercial Work: Used in construction, maintenance, or repair work that does not involve exposure to electricity.
• Outdoor Use: Aluminum ladders perform well outdoors due to their resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for landscaping or outdoor maintenance.

Weight Capacity:

• Aluminum ladders can support moderate loads, but they may not be as strong as steel or fiberglass ladders, especially in industrial settings where heavy-duty support is required.
