Comparison between Aluminium Ladder
and Fiberglass Ladder
Which material is safe for electricity work?

Aluminium ladders and fiberglass ladders are among the common materials of ladders that we can found in the market. Both of these materials have their respective pros and cons - the right choice for you will depend on how you intend to use your ladder.





Aluminium Ladder

Step by Step Aluminium Working Tray Ladder (WTL)






Fiberglass Ladder

Step by Step Fiberglass Double Sided Ladder (DFG)


Let's take a quick look at the pros and cons of aluminium ladders and fiberglass ladders. How does these two ladders differ from each other.



CONDUCTIVITY



Aluminium ladder: Conductivity to electricity (Electric shock)

Fiberglass ladder: Non-conductivity to electricity (Non-electric shock)



MATERIAL



Aluminium ladder: AA6061 or AA6063

Fiberglass ladder: Fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP)



LADDER WEIGHT



Aluminium ladder: Lighter

Fiberglass ladder: Heavier



MATERIAL AND USAGE TESTING



Aluminium ladder: Working load

Fiberglass ladder: Frequency voltage testing



USAGE



Aluminium ladder: Industrial and household usage

Fiberglass ladder: Industrial usage and electrical work


JOB SCOPE



Aluminium ladder: House cleaning, aircond service or house renovation

Fiberglass ladder: Lighting service, oil and gas or electrical work





A heavy-duty fiberglass ladder can be used for all sorts of different jobs, and because fiberglass doesn't conduct electricity, these ladders are ideal for electrical jobs that would be too dangerous on aluminium ladders.
