Ladder Rails (Top Rail)

Ladder rails (top rails) are the upper-most horizontal supports on FRP ladders and stair guardrails. Pultruded FRP rails are strong and non-slip, providing safe handholds. Since they are continuous pultrusions, they have no joints, ensuring uniform strength. Being fiberglass, they will not conduct electricity (critical for ladder use around live equipment).
