All you're describing sounds way more expensive than a couple carpenters...simply being able to fix a ladder than toss it is a huge saving
Its the little details:
-- For example, a 3" Fiberglass Ibeam 10 feet long is ~$200, and only rated to 140 degrees. I can't readily find a more comparable product.
-- your aluminum ladder with high temp rubber, also needs to be electrically insulated; so now you have to toss the whole ladder if the shell is breached in any little way, and probably needs to be re-certified yearly.

- petee 8y agoYou should also Google Image search, "San Francisco power lines" -- yes, they have a ton of overhead lines
- sol_remmy 8y agoCarpenters earning San Francisco wages, who probably qualify for a pension after 25 years of service (because they are in the fire dept)
- petee 8y agoYou say it like its a bad thing. They build a product that consistently has carried firefighters and civilians to safety. They should be making a living wage, and have the ability to retire instead of dying on a factory line at 90.
