A stainless ladder can be used for many applications ranging from a fixed ship ladder, a cage ladder or roof access ladder to a machine access ladder, step ladder or platform ladder. A stainless ladder has many qualities that make it versatile in nearly every application.
Qualities of a stainless ladder that make it so versatile are:
- Corrosion resistant
- Bacteria resistant
- Environmental friendly
- Completely hygienic and will not rust
- Ability to retain properties even in hostile environments
- Aesthetically pleasing
When considering a stainless ladder for your application, keep safety in mind. Ladders; whether a stainless ladder or a wood ladder, need to be taken seriously. Whether taking the time to ensure proper footing when climbing or placing the ladder in a secure place, safety and consciousness need to be at its peak. Ladders create about a half million accidents a year resulting in approximately 300 deaths a year alone in the United States.
A stainless steel ladder provides safety in aspect of maintaining its physical properties and qualities, but cannot provide a secure footing if exposed to any moisture. Retrofit options are readily available to ensure safety and longevity. SlipNOT® Metal Safety Flooring manufactures a stainless steel ladder rung cover that can be retrofitted over the existing ladder rung by simply welding in place.
No matter the solution, safety is critical for any of the versatile applications that a stainless ladder can be used for.
