Aluminium Ladders: Lightweight And Corrosion Resistant
Aluminium ladders are made of aluminium because of the material's light weight and special qualities. It has so many applications it is impossible to imagine a world without it. The amazing, unique qualities of this metal give it an almost endless range of applications, from transport, packaging, electrical application, medicine, and construction of homes and furniture.
It is key to improving global living standards and developing a better and more sustainable world environment.
Aluminium is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, and the third most abundant element therein, after oxygen and silicon. It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth's solid surface. Aluminium is too reactive chemically to occur in nature as a free metal. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals.[4] The chief source of aluminium is bauxite ore.
Aluminium is remarkable for its ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation and for the metal's low density. So, aluminium ladders will be strong, won't break as wood ladders can, and will last a lifetime.
