Heavy Duty Aluminum Ladder vs. Fiberglass Ladder | Alaco Ladder Company

July 20, 2023

Heavy Duty Aluminum Ladder vs Fiberglass Ladder: Which One is Right for Contractors?

Contractors, whether general building contractors or roofing contractors, must ensure that all equipment, machineries, and tools they will be using for their projects are made from high-quality materials and designed with utmost safety in mind to prevent workplace accidents and injuries. From heavy duty aluminum ladder units to various other construction tools, each one must meet specific standards to ensure the workers’ safety.

Choosing between heavy duty aluminum ladder and heavy-duty fiberglass ladder

Specifications writers, building contractors, roofing contractors, engineers, and architects, among others, are often presented with at least two options when it comes to equipment, tools, and other materials for their project. Determining which one is ideal depends on several factors. For instance, if you’re a roofing contractor choosing between a heavy-duty fiberglass ladder and a heavy duty exterior aluminum ladder, factors to consider include load capacity, weight of the ladder, longevity, and safety.

For roofing applications, a heavy duty exterior aluminum ladder is the better option between the two because a fiberglass ladder is heavier compared to an aluminum ladder. And as the ladder’s load capacity increases, its weight also increases. This makes a fiberglass ladder incredibly heavy to transport, making it less portable compared to a heavy-duty exterior or heavy duty crossover aluminum ladder

Heavy duty aluminum ladders for contractors

In general, professionals in building construction and maintenance prefer aluminum ladders over other ladders because of their longevity and weight. As mentioned, in construction and roofing applications, portability is a key deciding factor for ladder options. However, fiberglass ladders are sometimes preferred for construction sites that are exposed to too much heat and sunlight as fiberglass is less prone to bending and twisting. On the other hand, contractors that use heavy-duty aluminum ladders in extreme weather conditions find that with proper usage and storage, aluminum ladders are able to withstand harsh conditions as well.

For your reference, Alaco Ladder Company uses aircraft grade aluminum alloy for all their aluminum ladders, making them arguably the strongest and more durable aluminum ladders on the market today.

Last but not the least is the cost. Fiberglass material is typically more expensive than aluminum, which means an aluminum ladder is the more cost-effective choice for your construction projects.

The bottom line is, deciding whether to go with a heavy-duty fiberglass ladder or a heavy duty aluminum ladder depends on your specific needs and requirements as well as your ease and comfort in terms of usage and maintenance, and your budget. Discussing your options with your team is the best way to find the right ladder for your project.

Access points can immediately narrow down you options, making it easier for you to choose the perfect loft ladder.

2. Size of the space

This one refers more to the space that will accommodate the ladder; that is, where the ladder will be installed. If it’s a confined or rather restricted space, your best option might be a ladder that folds against the wall when not in use. This way, you can prevent tripping accidents.

3. Finish

Designers and users usually choose wood or aluminum ladders as they find that these are more aesthetically pleasing.

Aluminum Ladders | Care and Maintenance | Alaco Ladder Company

July 6, 2023

Aluminum Ladders Care and Maintenance for Longevity and Safety

Aluminum is naturally rust and corrosion-resistant, but it can still get damaged or show signs of wear and tear over time, which is why aluminum ladders must be properly maintained not only to extend its shelf life but also to ensure that users can safely and comfortably use them any time.

General care and maintenance tips for aluminum ladders

As mentioned above, aluminum ladders, whether an aluminum crossover ladder, aluminum exterior ladder, or an aluminum ladder for general construction use, need to be properly maintained for two reasons: longevity and safety.

Building contractors and roofing contractors as well as engineers, architects, project managers, and specifications writers prefer aluminum ladder units over steel or wood for building and construction because it’s lightweight, durable, and can support loads of up 500 lbs. Apart from these qualities, aluminum is also long-lasting. With proper care and maintenance, your aluminum ladder, whether an aluminum crossover ladder or aluminum exterior ladder, can last anywhere between 10 and 15 years.

On that note, here are a few tips on ladder care and maintenance:

1. Regularly clean your ladder

One of the most important, yet often neglected, steps in maintaining a ladder unit is regular cleaning. Dirt, mud, dust, and other materials that accumulate on the ladder will eventually damage it. Aluminum ladders may be corrosion-resistant, but this doesn’t mean they won’t ever get damaged from corrosion. Over time, corrosion could happen, particularly if foreign elements like dirt, dust, oil, and such aren’t immediately removed from the surface of the ladder. With that said, it’s best to always clean your ladder after use.

2. Store your ladder properly

If the aluminum ladder isn’t attached to a wall or isn’t permanently installed in one place, store it in a clean, cool, and dry place away from the sun or the elements. Make sure that before you store the ladder, it is dry and clean.

3. Proper usage

Ladders have specific load capacities, which users must strictly follow not only for their safety but also to prevent the ladder from getting damaged or broken. Contractors, architects, safety engineers, project managers, and others involved in building and construction projects must see to it that employees and workers are well-informed about proper use of the ladder to prevent accidents, among other things.

As you can see, it takes very little effort to maintain an aluminum ladder. And it is precisely for this reason that it is the ladder of choice of professionals. A low-maintenance, durable, lightweight yet heavy-duty at the same time, and sturdy ladder that can last for many years is what you will get with your aluminum ladders.

OSHA Rated Aluminum Ladders | Workplace Safety | Alaco Ladder Company

June 29, 2023

Why OSHA Rated Aluminum Ladders are Crucial for Workplace Safety

Workplace safety should be the top priority of employers. A safe working environment boosts employee morale and improves productivity, among other things. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration or OSHA was created to develop and implement safety standards and protocols in the workplace. From equipment, like OSHA rated aluminum ladders, to processes and practices, these standards were put in place primarily to protect workers, particularly those in work environments that expose them to such risks as slip and fall accidents, and hazardous chemicals, to name a few.

OSHA rated heavy duty aluminum ladder

Professionals in the construction industry, real estate development, and other similar fields know that the working environment, equipment, tools, and materials that will be used for their projects should always meet OSHA standards because if they are found to be in violation of workplace safety standards, their project could be jeopardized, or worse, their professional licenses revoked.

It is for this reason that architects, engineers, building contractors, specifications writers, and roofing contractors must ensure that if they are to use aluminum ladders for their project, these should be OSHA rated aluminum ladders regardless of whether these are exterior roof access ladders, mezzanine ladders, or crossover ladders or platforms.

Your supplier and/or manufacturer plays an important role in your OSHA compliancy as well. How so?

When choosing a ladder manufacturer or supplier, it’s important to take the time to talk to them about their specific processes and practices, materials, and such with regard to product design, development, and manufacturing. Doing so can ensure that the ladders for your project won’t be found in violation of any applicable OSHA regulations. Additionally, OSHA compliancy also covers proper installation and usage of the ladders. In a nutshell, a ladder that was not properly installed and has missing or corroded parts exposes your workers and general users to accidents and injuries.

As a contractor, architect, or engineer, it is also your duty to inform all workers and laborers about the proper usage of every equipment and machinery you have on standby for the project. If a worker gets injured from a corroded ladder, for instance, and you didn’t inform them that OSHA prohibits the use of a ladder in such a state, you could be held liable for the injury or accident even if the ladder was obviously damaged and common sense says not to use it.

OSHA rated aluminum ladders are crucial for workplace safety for the following reasons:

Reduces the risk of slip and fall accidents
Protects employers from liability
Ensures projects won’t be delayed due to safety violations
Boosts employee morale

Exterior Ladders for Commercial Uses | Alaco Ladder Company

June 22, 2023

Exterior Ladders for Commercial Uses: Benefits of Using Custom Ladders for Unique Commercial Spaces

Ladders, whether wood or aluminum or other material, follow a certain set of standards when it comes to size, design, and usage. This means that every other detail included in the ladder’s design follows a given standard. So whether they are exterior ladders for commercial uses or exterior ladders for buildings, manufacturers adhere to a specific sizing and design standard. This uniformity makes it easier for building contractors, roofing contractors, architects, engineers, specifications writers, and other professionals involved in the construction and maintenance of a building or structure to find exactly what they need for their project.

What happens then when the ladder they need is for a unique space?

Unique spaces, whether residential or commercial, don’t always follow the usual design standards. Often, this could mean that the space is either too small or too big to fit regular-sized furniture, equipment, tools, and such. So, what do you do when you need certain fixtures or features installed, such as ladders, for instance?

Exterior ladders for buildings

For unique residential spaces, there are manufacturers of exterior ladders for residential uses as well as exterior ladders for commercial uses that can modify the unit that you’ve picked, so it can fit the space for which it was intended. Bear in mind, however, that not all manufacturers or suppliers of exterior ladders accept or accommodate modification and customization requests, so make sure that the manufacturer you’ve chosen does indeed customize their ladders before purchasing the unit.

Of all the benefits to be had from customized exterior ladders for buildings, whether for a commercial or residential space, the assurance that the ladder will stay in place and can be used safely and comfortably is the top-of-mind consideration of everyone involved in building construction and maintenance, from contractors to engineers, architects, and spec writers, among others.

Alaco Ladder’s customized exterior ladders for residential uses

If you’re dealing with an odd wall surface or a unique space that won’t fit a standard-size exterior ladder, Alaco Ladder can provide you with custom-made ladder brackets to ensure a seamless fit. On the other hand, if the exterior ladder passes through objects or obstructions, Alaco can adjust the rung sizes to ensure you still meet specific OSHA standards, thus preventing you from violating any workplace safety regulations.

As you can see, the primary advantage of using customized exterior ladders for residential uses or exterior ladders for commercial uses, whichever you may need, is to keep users safe as they go up and down the ladder. Stability, as well as the integrity of the ladder, are necessary for performing certain building maintenance tasks, like HVAC maintenance, on both residential and commercial structures.

Ship Ladder for Mezzanine Access | Alaco Ladder Company

June 15, 2023

The Top Benefits of Using a Ship Ladder for Mezzanine Access

Ladders come in different sizes, materials, designs, and features to ensure that users and buyers will find a unit that will be the perfect solution for accessing their specific space(s). But this doesn’t mean a specific design is only suitable for a specific space or usage. For instance, a ship ladder that was specifically designed for accessing the various spaces on a boat, like the mezzanine, will make for an ideal ladder for a mezzanine on a residential or commercial space as well.

Ship ladder for mezzanine floors

To a new buyer, a ship ladder may not seem an ideal fit for a residential or commercial space but for seasoned users and buyers like building contractors, specifications writers, architects, engineers, and even roofing contractors, using a ship ladder for mezzanine access makes perfect sense.

Here are the benefits and advantages of using a ship ladder for accessing mezzanine floors:

1. They are designed to withstand wet environments

On a ship, ladders are exposed to the elements and especially wet environments all day and all night, which is why ladder manufacturers ensure that their line of ship ladders can withstand long exposure to various weather and environmental conditions. With that said, a ship ladder for mezzanine access on a boat will also make for the perfect ladder for mezzanine access in a commercial or residential space.

2. They are equipped with OSHA-compliant safety features

Mezzanine floors are generally open spaces, and this usually means accessing them are either through a ladder or a staircase. Where staircases aren’t a viable solution for lack of space, a ship ladder will make for the best alternative. Most of the time, however, contractors, spec writers, architects, or engineers choose ship ladders for residential uses and commercial applications over staircases because they are more cost-effective and they are likewise more aesthetically pleasing, which means they can instantly enhance the interior style of the space.

OSHA standards dictate that ship ladders be installed with rails, open risers, treads, and steps that slope between 50 and 70-degree angles horizontally for the user’s safety.

3. Alaco Ladder’s ship ladders are customizable

Whether you’re a spec writer, contractor, or architect looking for a ship ladder for mezzanine access or ship ladders for residential uses and commercial applications, you will find that Alaco Ladder offers the best selection of ship ladders on the market today. Apart from being designed and manufactured with the best and sturdiest materials, and with the user’s comfort and safety in mind, Alaco Ladder also accommodates customization requests for safety features on mezzanine ladders for smaller or more confined spaces (where standard-size ladders may not fit). This sets Alaco apart from other ladder manufacturers and suppliers in the country.

Aluminum Ladders for Industrial Sites | Alaco Ladder Company

June 8, 2023

The Advantages of Using Aluminum Exterior Ladders for Industrial Sites

The working environment in industrial sites, manufacturing plants, or factories vastly differs from commercial offices primarily because most workers handle machinery and large equipment. It is for this reason that certain tools and office equipment they use for work, like an aluminum crossover ladder and other types of aluminum ladders, must be designed and built to withstand even the harshest working environment and/or condition.

Alaco Ladder exterior aluminum ladder

Alaco Ladder’s aluminum exterior ladder is the right fit for industrial sites. This is specifically chosen by safety engineers, building architects, contractors, and specifications writers for large construction projects, landscaping, and roofing applications, among others.

What are the advantages of using exterior aluminum ladders for industrial sites or factories?

1. As strong as structural steel yet lightweight

In an industrial setting, you’d want a ladder that can not only support your workers and their load (up to a certain safe, allowable weight) but also a ladder that you can easily carry from one corner of the plant to the next—wherever it’s needed. This is exactly what you will get from Alaco’s aluminum exterior ladder. It’s as strong as structural steel but lighter at the same time.

Heavy Duty Aluminum Ladder: Top 5 Features Every Contractor Needs

Are you a general contractor or a roofing contractor looking for heavy-duty ladders for your construction project? You should consider one of the country’s leading ladder manufacturers Alaco Ladder. They specialize in heavy-duty aluminum ladders for industrial, construction, commercial, and residential applications. From heavy-duty crossover aluminum ladder for industrial sites and roofing applications to heavy-duty aluminum ladder for building construction and commercial applications, you can’t go wrong with Alaco’s aluminum ladders.

If you’re a specifications writer, architect, or safety engineer assigned to a construction project, here are the top five features of a heavy-duty exterior aluminum ladder that every contractor needs:

1. Load support that exceeds the ladder’s standard load capacity

One of the first features that must be checked is the ladder’s load capacity. Typically, heavy-duty aluminum ladders for contractors must be able to support load capacities between 250 lbs. and 400 lbs. OSHA standards dictate that a heavy-duty aluminum ladder must be able to support a load that is at least three times its standard load capacity. This is because there may be times when the user must bring with them certain tools or small equipment while going up or down the ladder. This extra load support ensures the ladder will remain stable even with that extra weight to support.

2. Stability

A ladder’s stability not only depends on proper installation, it also depends on the material used to build the ladder, the safety features included and installed, and customized features for small and/or unique spaces. Alaco’s heavy duty aluminum ladders for contractors, spec writers, architects, engineers, and safety officers are built using aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and designed and manufactured following strict OSHA and ANSI standards.

3. OSHA and ANSI compliant

Ladders used in industrial, construction, commercial, and other public or general settings must be designed and manufactured according to OSHA and ANSI standards. This not only ensures the user’s safety but also eliminates the manufacturer’s liability against work-related accidents.

4. Durable

In a construction setting, ladders are usually used for outdoor work, which means they are exposed to the elements most of the time. A heavy-duty crossover aluminum ladder or heavy-duty exterior aluminum ladder must be designed and built in such a way that it can withstand various environments and weather conditions. The best ladder for a contractor is one whose quality and safety won’t be compromised after being exposed to different weather and climate conditions for some time. In other words, a good heavy duty aluminum ladder can stand the test of time.

5. Rust resistant

Aluminum doesn’t typically rust, and if the aluminum used on your ladder is a high-grade, like Alaco’s aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, it is all the more rust-resistant. This feature ensures two things: The ladder won’t buckle under harsh weather and environmental conditions, and it will last a long time.

May 13, 2023

Quick Guide to Choosing Loft Ladders for Sale for Your Needs

Lofts are a great addition to any space, whether it is a home or commercial establishment. These may be hidden, tucked away behind a door, or these could be part of the interior design where the loft displays the owner’s eclectic taste. Regardless of their purpose, access ladders are needed. Loft ladders for sale that you find today are designed in such a way that they too add to the aesthetics of the space.

Loft ladders for sale: Finding the right fit for your needs

Lofts built to be both aesthetic and functional have specific ladder requirements, which is where the challenge for owners and designers usually lie. You could say that finding the right loft ladder for one’s specific needs requires a meticulous eye, particularly if the loft extends from one side of the room to the next, or if the loft only has one single access, in which case a specific loft ladder that can be affixed to the wall might be ideal.

As you can see, it is not enough that one looks for general loft ladders for sale. You must be specific about the type of loft that you must find a ladder that is the perfect fit for it. On that note, here are a few heavy-duty loft ladders that Alaco Ladder Company offers. You will find that each one is designed and manufactured to fit a specific loft style.

Loft Ladders for Sale – Heavy Duty Loft Ladders

Loft Ladders for Sale: Heavy Duty Ladders for Commercial and Residential Spaces

If you have a loft in your residential building or commercial establishment, an important factor you need to carefully consider is how to gain access to that extra overhead space you’re using as a storage room, a guest room, or simply an extra space for other purposes. Loft ladders for sale online will give you an idea of how versatile these ladders are and why they are the preferred access device for lofts.

Benefits of using heavy duty loft ladders for commercial and residential spaces

When looking for loft ladders for sale, whether you’re an interior designer or a home or building owner, you will notice these come in two variations: wood and aluminum. Now, depending on the interior style of your commercial or residential space as well as your specific needs and preference, either of the two should be a good fit for what you had in mind.

So why use a loft ladder? Contractors, building managers, interior decorators, engineers, architects, specifiers, and other professionals share the following benefits of using heavy-duty wood or aluminum loft ladders:

Safety and stability

Convenience

With a fixed loft ladder, you can instantly go up and down at any given time.

Comfort and ease of use

Another benefit to using heavy-duty wood or aluminum loft ladders that’s worth mentioning is ease of use and the user’s comfort.

Other than benefits, professionals particularly interior decorators, architects, and even specifications writers, also consider the ladder’s aesthetic design as the ladder will be used for a space that is part of the room’s interior style.
