RIDGID RL-FGE24 (76722) Fiberglass Slide Ladder, 24 feet, rated for 25,000 volts.

Fiberglass extension ladder RIDGID RL-FGE24 (76722) size 24 feet, rated for high voltage up to 25,000 volts
The RIDGID RL-FGE24 fiberglass extension ladder, model 76722, is designed for professional use requiring high access levels and the highest safety standards. Constructed from non-conductive fiberglass material, it is the perfect choice for electricians, maintenance technicians, or anyone working in environments with electrical hazards. Featuring a robust structure, comfortable D-shaped rungs, and a smooth extension mechanism, this ladder delivers exceptional confidence and convenience when working at height.

Features
- High-Quality Fiberglass Material: Highly resistant to weather and corrosion, and non-conductive, ensuring utmost safety when working near electrical sources.
- Electrical Insulation Properties: Withstands electricity up to 25,000 volts/sq. inch (25,000V/in), serving as a crucial feature for user safety.
- D-Shaped Rungs: Designed to provide users with stable and comfortable footing, reducing fatigue during long work periods.
- Non-Slip Ladder Feet: Made of high-quality, extra-thick rubber with swivel bases, enhancing grip on various surfaces and preventing slippage.
- Pulley and rope system: Comes with a robust pulley and weather-resistant polypropylene rope, ensuring smooth and effortless extension and retraction of the ladder
- Sturdy locking mechanism: Features rung locks designed for easy one-handed release, providing quick and secure length adjustment
- Reinforced construction: Equipped with heavy-duty rivets and braces on every rung for maximum durability and extended service life
- Balanced weight: Despite its long length, it features good weight distribution, allowing for convenient transport and storage (two people may be required for long-distance transport)
- Certified standards: Certified to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards to ensure quality and safety

Applications
- Electrical and telecommunications work: The safest choice for electricians, cable installers, or anyone working near electrical sources
- Building and facility maintenance: Ideal for exterior maintenance work that requires high reach, such as repairing roofs, rain gutters, or tall building walls
- Industrial and factory applications: Used for maintaining large machinery or accessing high structures within factories
- Signboard installation: Provides stability and safety for installing or repairing elevated signs
- Cleaning and painting work: For tasks requiring extra height and stability when cleaning or painting exterior building walls

Points to Consider
- High price: Fiberglass ladders, especially long models, generally cost more than aluminum ladders of comparable size
- Heavy weight: For a 24-foot size, this ladder is relatively heavy (approx. 19.4 kg), which may make solo transport difficult and may require two people to deploy or move
- Large storage size: Even as an extension ladder, it still measures about 3.65 meters long when fully retracted, requiring considerable space for storage and transportation
- Sunlight degradation: Fiberglass material may degrade if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods; should be stored in the shade to prolong its lifespan
- Ladder flex: When extended and used at significant heights, slight flexing may be felt, which is a natural characteristic of fiberglass material but remains well within established safety limits
