Alco-lite Ground Ladders

Thank you for choosing to find out more about Alco-Lite® brand fire ladders by Sam Carbis  Solutions Group. From our beginning in 1930, we have been dedicated to supplying top quality aluminum fire department ladders to the world. When Sam Carbis, our founder and great grandfather, first dreamed up the aluminum ladder, he was employed by Alcoa who was looking for new uses for this suddenly affordable metal. Visit the Alco-Lite Ladder website for more details.

Description

alco ladders (Small)

While Alcoa was not interested in manufacturing ladders, they were encouraging and soon an industry was born. From those humble roots, we have grown exponentially and now supply virtually all OEM
manufacturers in North America, the leading equipment suppliers, the US government, and hundreds of fire houses and dealers around the country and the world. Our commitment to safety has been a driving force throughout our history. We have been actively involved in the development of industry safety standards for over 60 years. As part of that commitment, we have encouraged the annual testing of fire department ground ladders. When we began hearing complaints and concerns that testing would destroy the ladders, we began cycle testing the same ladder  repeatedly…it has now been tested more than 75,000 times, and it still passes the test. In the event something does happen to your ladder, all of our Alco-Lite® fire department ground ladders are field repairable, and a complete parts list is available for each one. We also offer training classes on inspection, maintenance, and testing of our ground ladders which can be scheduled year-round at our facility here in sunny South Carolina. With all that quality, service, and experience, “it only makes sense to buy your aluminum fire ladders from the company that
invented them.”
