GRP Ladders
High Quality GRP Ladders & Steps
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) ladders and steps are made from a composite material consisting of reinforced glass fibres in a plastic resin. Our GRP ladders and steps are commonly used in industrial settings and are preferred for their durability and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and fire.
The GRP ladders and steps that we supply have several advantages over traditional ladders and steps made of other materials like wood, aluminium, or steel. For example, they are lightweight, making them easy to move and position. They are also non-conductive, so they are safe to use around electrical equipment or in areas with electrical hazards.
In addition, GRP ladders and steps are resistant to UV rays, making them ideal for use outdoors. They are also resistant to moisture and can be used in wet or humid environments without the risk of rust or corrosion.
