Aluminum ladders are renowned for their versatility and impressive strength-to-weight ratio, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of construction, roofing, and painting projects. They are lighter and more affordable to manufacture compared to other ladder materials, making them easier to transport without compromising on durability.

At Badger Ladder, we offer two primary types of aluminum ladders to suit your needs: extension ladders and stepladders. Both options boast a robust 300 lbs. duty rating, ensuring they can handle the demands of your toughest jobs.

Aluminum Ladder FAQs

How much do aluminum ladders cost?

The cost of aluminum ladders varies depending on the size, brand, and type. Generally, prices range from $50 to $300, with smaller step ladders/workstands on the lower end and larger, more specialized ladders on the higher end. Factors like weight capacity, design features, and additional safety mechanisms can also affect the price.

How to clean aluminum ladders?

To clean an aluminum ladder, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft brush or cloth to scrub the surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue. For stubborn stains or oxidation, a mixture of water and vinegar can be effective. Dry the ladder completely to prevent any moisture-related damage.

How long do aluminum ladders last?

Aluminum ladders can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on usage and maintenance. Proper care, such as cleaning after use and storing in a dry, sheltered environment, can extend the ladder's lifespan. Regular inspections for wear and tear are also important to ensure safety and longevity.

Why are fiberglass ladders better than aluminum?

Fiberglass ladders are often considered better than aluminum because they are non-conductive, making them safer for electrical work. They are also more durable and resistant to weathering, corrosion, and chemicals. However, fiberglass ladders are typically heavier and more expensive than aluminum ladders, which may be a consideration depending on your needs.

What is the difference between aluminum and fiberglass ladders?

The primary differences between aluminum and fiberglass ladders are material properties and suitability for certain tasks. Aluminum ladders are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and typically less expensive, making them ideal for general use. Fiberglass ladders, on the other hand, are non-conductive and more durable, making them better suited for electrical work and harsh environments. However, they are heavier and often more costly.
