This course explains the methods and advantages of using aluminum for ladders, the many ways ladders can be configured to create the safest and most comfortable usage, the various optional accessories available, and the codes and standards that govern and inform their design.

Custom Aluminum Platforms and Catwalks
There are instances when a standard ladder or platform may be inadequate to access equipment or areas in a building safely. This is especially true for agricultural or manufacturing facilities, water treatment plants, industrial applications, transportation hubs, wineries, distilleries, and more. Because these facilities have specific functions or specialty equipment, everything you need to maneuver the space safely must be durable, versatile and structurally stable to ensure the safety of all personnel.
