Sliding Fibreglass Extension Ladders

SafeSmart Access’s Sliding Fibreglass Extension Ladders are an exemplary choice for professionals seeking a reliable and safe way to access heights. Built to comply with the rigorous AS/NZS 1892 standards, these ladders are engineered to provide maximum durability and safety. They cater to a range of height requirements with sizes extending from 2.88m to an impressive 7.15m, suitable for various industrial and commercial tasks.

The ladders come equipped with ‘D’ shaped rungs for comfortable standing, reducing user fatigue during extended periods of use. Coupled with its heavy-duty feet, the ladder resists wear and tear even in the most challenging environments. A significant feature of these ladders is the side-mounted rope, intelligently designed to eliminate tripping hazards, ensuring that safety is paramount. The triple pulley system reduces the force required to lift the ladder, making height adjustments smoother and less strenuous for the user.

Electrically safe due to its non-conductive fibreglass composition, the ladder is ideal for electrical work, preventing the risk of electric shocks. This advantage is especially crucial when working near live wires or in areas where electrical hazards are present.

Safety and Efficiency

Workplace safety cannot be overstated, and with SafeSmart’s Sliding Fibreglass Extension Ladders, you’re choosing a product that has passed stringent safety tests. The auto-engaging height lock feature prevents unwanted retraction, providing peace of mind that the ladder will remain securely extended during use. The design prioritizes the worker’s safety while also focusing on efficiency. By offering a solution that is easy to adjust and secure, workers can complete tasks swiftly and safely without compromising on productivity.

Usage Scenarios

SafeSmart’s Sliding Fibreglass Extension Ladders can be used across various industries and scenarios, demonstrating their versatility and utility:

  • Electrical maintenance and installation, providing a non-conductive solution for electrical safety.
  • Exterior building repairs and maintenance, with height adjustability catering to different building sizes.
  • Telecom and data services, enabling safe access to poles and overhead lines.
  • Warehouse and inventory stock-taking, where adjustable height facilitates reach to different shelf levels.

Each scenario benefits from the ladder’s design features, such as the durable ‘D’ shape rungs and the side-mounted rope, enhancing safety and stability for the users across different tasks and conditions.

What is a Sliding Ladder? 

A sliding ladder is a specific type of ladder designed to reach both high and hard to access areas. A key feature of a sliding ladder is its ability to extend and retract along a singular rail. This makes it convenient to store within compact spaces whenever the ladder is not in use. Equipped with a locking mechanism, sliding ladders are able to remain securely in place when extended for usage.

Advantages of Using a Sliding Ladder

Sliding ladders offer several advantages:

  • Its ability to retract when not in use makes them ideal for usage and storage within locations with limited space.
  • The ladders can be easily extended and retracted along a rail, which enables simplified positioning when in need.
  • Sliding ladders are available in a variety of different material types and sizes. This makes them suitable for a range of usages.
  • They offer a cost-effective solution to everyday accessibility needs.

How to Choose a Sliding Ladder? 

If you’re keen on purchasing a sliding ladder for yourself or for your workers, here are a couple of considerations to take into account.

First, determine the exact amount of access required. Once you’ve taken into account the relevant height, width, and other key dimensions of your space, you’ll be able to decide on a ladder that’s most suitable for your needs. At SafeSmart Access, we offer ladders with varying height ranges, each suitable for different access needs.

Next, you have to consider the portability of your ladder. If you’re planning to use your ladder indoors, consider whether it’s able to fit through doorways or access narrow spaces. This is often an overlooked factor.

Third, make sure your sliding ladder adheres to safety standards. Conduct regular inspections to ensure that the ladder is always in safe working condition.

After deciding on the ideal sliding ladder, ensure that your team is well-trained and equipped with the necessary safety equipment when utilising the ladder. The ‘three-point-rule’ which requires that you must keep at least three points of contact when using a sliding ladder is considered a best practice. Likewise, if transporting heavy objects, it needs to be lifted up the ladder rather than be carried to mitigate injuries.
