- mauvehaus 8y agoIf you're the fire department, and you're moving them around regularly (as opposed to a fixed installation), the weight advantage of aluminum over steel is probably compelling. Wooden ladders are heavier than aluminum, which is part of why you no longer see them for sale at most stores, but they're still lighter than steel.
