Ladders

Shipman's offers ladders from Alco-Lite and Duo Safety.

 
Alco-Lite

Alco-LiteWe invented the Aluminum Fire Ladder! Since 1930, the Alco-Lite name has been synonymous with quality, dependability, and service. For these reasons, all types of departments – paid and volunteer, large and small throughout the United States and the world, use Alco-Lite fire ladders. All ALCO-LITE fire department ground ladders meet or exceed the applicable National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.) standards for fire department ground ladders. These ladders are designed to be used in accordance with the practices established by both the National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.) and the International Fire Service Training Association (IFSTA). For complete information on these practices, please contact the appropriate organization to obtain their most current documents relative to fire department ground ladders.

In addition to manufacturing aluminum ladders for over sixty-five years, we have manufactured fiberglass ladders for the industrial market for forty years. With that technology and experience behind us, we at Aluminum Ladder Company are pleased to offer fiberglass fire department ground ladders that provide an extra degree of safety when working around charged circuits.

Innovation, quality, dependability, and commitment to fire service have been the cornerstones of our business. That’s why “it only makes sense to buy your fire ladders from the people who inveted them."

 
Duo-Safety

DUO-SAFETY's leadership in the field has been won through quality and the long service life of its products. All DUO-SAFETY Aluminum ladders feature welded and expanded rungs. This two step process makes certain the rung joints are as strong as the ladder beams, and no looseness can develop. DUO-SAFETY Aluminum Fire ladders feature 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, 1-1/4" corrugated rungs and welded rung joints. DUO-SAFETY extension and roof ladder models are all rated for 750 lb. load with a 4:1 safety factor.

We suggest all Fire Departments refer to both the National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.) and the International Fire Service Training Association (I.F.S.T.A.) for complete and proper practices and usage of Fire Service ladders.
