A fiberglass ladder is a series of vertical steps made of fiberglass material that combines the best qualities of aluminum and wood ladders. It is stronger and safer to use than the other types of ladders. It is not prone to rotting and breakage unlike a wood ladder. It also does not conduct electricity or weaken when exposed to fire unlike an aluminum ladder. Because of these qualities, the fiberglass ladder is very popular in residential and industrial settings. It is standard equipment in fire trucks and industrial activities involving electricity and heat.
