5 Essential Features to look for when buying an Industrial Ladder
When looking for industrial ladders, there are several essential features to consider ensuring safety, durability, and functionality in industrial settings.
Here are five essential features to look for:
1. Material and Construction
The ladder's material and construction play a vital role in its durability and stability. Look for industrial ladders made from high-quality materials like aluminium or fiberglass, as they offer strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties.

3. Safety Features
Safety should be a top priority when selecting an industrial ladder. Look for features such as anti-slip steps or rungs to provide secure footing. Additionally, consider ladders with non-slip rubber feet or grip-enhancing surfaces to prevent slipping or sliding. Built-in safety features like handrails, guardrails, or lockable platforms can also enhance worker safety while working at heights.
4. Height and Reach
Determine the height and reach requirements specific to your industrial needs. Industrial ladders come in various sizes and configurations, including step ladders, extension ladders, or platform ladders. Ensure the ladder you choose can reach the desired height safely and provide convenient access to the work area.
5. Compliance with Standards
Industrial ladders should meet relevant safety standards and regulations, such as those set by organizations like Safe Work Australia, OSHA etc. Look for ladders that comply with these standards, as they are designed to ensure worker safety and product quality. Check for certifications or labels indicating compliance with industry standards.
Remember, it's crucial to assess your specific industrial requirements and consult with safety professionals or experts who can provide guidance on selecting the most suitable ladder for your needs.

Fibreglass vs. Aluminium Ladders: The Superiority of Fibreglass
When it comes to choosing between fibreglass and aluminium ladders, it's essential to weigh the benefits of each material. While aluminium ladders have their advantages, fibreglass ladders often offer superior qualities that make them the preferred choice in many situations. In this blog post, we will explore why fibreglass ladders outshine their aluminium counterparts in these key areas.
Electrical Safety
One of the most significant advantages of fibreglass ladders is their non-conductive nature. Unlike aluminium, fibreglass is an insulating material, making it the ideal choice for professionals working with electricity. Fibreglass ladders significantly reduce the risk of electric shock, providing an added layer of safety for electricians and others working around live electrical systems. When it comes to electrical safety, fibreglass ladders are unmatched.
Rigidity and Stability
Fibreglass ladders excel in terms of rigidity and stability. Unlike aluminium ladders that can bend or flex under heavy loads, fibreglass ladders remain rigid with very little flex or bounce. This inherent stability makes fibreglass ladders a reliable option for tasks that require steady footing, giving users peace of mind while working at heights.
Corrosion Resistance and Longevity
Fibreglass ladders have excellent resistance to corrosion, unlike aluminium ladders that may be prone to rusting over time. This corrosion resistance makes fibreglass ladders ideal for outdoor use or in environments with high humidity or exposure to chemicals. Additionally, fibreglass ladders do not require regular maintenance to prevent corrosion, allowing users to focus on their work rather than upkeep. With their durability and long lifespan, fibreglass ladders provide a wise investment that will serve you well for years to come.
Temperature Resistance
Another advantage of fibreglass ladders is their ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Unlike aluminium, fibreglass does not conduct heat or cold as readily, making fibreglass ladders more comfortable to handle in both hot and cold conditions. This temperature resistance is particularly beneficial for professionals working in diverse environments, from scorching summers to frigid winters.
Noise and Vibration Dampening
Fibreglass ladders exhibit excellent noise and vibration dampening properties. Compared to aluminium ladders, which can produce loud noises and transmit vibrations during use, fibreglass ladders provide a quieter and more comfortable working experience. This can be particularly important when working in sensitive areas or when performing tasks that require concentration.
While aluminium ladders have their merits, fibreglass ladders clearly emerge as the superior choice in several key areas. From electrical safety and rigidity to corrosion resistance and temperature resilience, fibreglass ladders offer a multitude of advantages that make them the preferred option for many professionals and DIY enthusiasts. When investing in a ladder, consider the unmatched qualities of fibreglass ladders, and enjoy the peace of mind, durability, and versatility they bring to your work.
Branach Fibreglass Ladders
Branach Ladders not only offer the superior qualities of fibreglass ladders in terms of safety, durability, and versatility but also provide the added advantages of being lightweight and easy to position. With our full fibreglass box rail design, you can experience the convenience of a lightweight ladder without compromising on stability and rigidity.
By incorporating unique construction elements and height safety features, Branach Ladders prioritize user safety and provide peace of mind when working at heights. Whether you're an electrician, contractor Branach Ladders offer a comprehensive solution that combines top-notch safety, durability, and ease of use.
Choose Branach Ladders for a ladder solution that combines quality, innovation, and ease of use.

Climb with Confidence: Branach's Fall Control System Ensures Your Safety at Heights
Working at heights is an essential part of many industries, but it also comes with risks. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), falls are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry, and falls from ladders account for a significant portion of those fatalities. In response to this, Branach has developed an innovative, portable, and mobile solution for ensuring the safety of workers at heights - the Branach Fall Control System.
The Branach Fall Control System is designed to keep workers safe while ascending, descending, or in the event of a fall, slip, or medical issue. The system addresses four key elements: strength, stability, anchoring, and rescue. The strength of the system is designed to arrest the user in the event of a fall, while the stability ensures that the user remains upright during a fall event. The anchoring mechanism is designed to ensure that the user does not separate from the ladder structure, and the rescue element allows for safe lowering of the height worker by someone on the ground.
What sets the Branach Fall Control System apart from other fall protection systems is its ability to rescue without requiring further equipment. Many fall protection systems require a second person to put themselves at risk to rescue the fallen worker, but with the Branach Fall Control System, this is not necessary. The rescue element allows for safe and easy lowering of the worker to the ground, minimizing the risk of injury to both the worker and the rescuer.
The Branach Fall Control System is both innovative and unique, built to meet and exceed safety standards while being portable and mobile. The system is designed with lightweight materials that make it easy to transport and use in a variety of locations. It is ideal for use in the construction industry, telecommunications, utilities, and many other industries that require working at heights.

For one, it's difficult to balance strength and portability in engineering fields, but the Terrain Master manages to provide both with its lightweight aircraft aluminium construction.
A wide base is also important for stability, and the Terrain Master provides just that with a base of 1.3 meters (4.25 feet) for the Terrain Master and 1.7 meters (5.57 feet) for the Terrain Master Wide Range. This wide base allows for weight and load to be distributed over a larger area, ensuring stability for the user.
Setting up on slopes is another challenge that the Terrain Master tackles with ease. Its unique design allows it to adjust for slopes of up to 15 degrees, which makes a significant difference when working on uneven or soil-based terrains that require choking or digging.
The Terrain Master is a multi-dimensional accessory that can be widely used in various industries. Workers in the electrical, construction, renewables, mining, oil and gas and many other industries often face major issues while working outdoors, but the Terrain Master serves as their reliable companion for secure tasking.

Height Safety Starts with the First Step
When it comes to choosing the right products for working safely at heights, there’s no shortage of providers out there telling you to choose them. Before you do, there are certain things to consider ensuring your wellbeing is at the core of a provider’s product range – from concept to construction. Here are five things to check off your list before buying your next height safety solution.
Does it meet the standards?
A provider’s product range should comply with the major Australian and international standards and regulations relating to working at height. But don’t you deserve more than that? How about a range of fibreglass ladders and safety step platforms that exceed the highest industry requirements across an array of heights and uses?
At Branach, we are proud of our focus on innovation and
design to further increase your safety level beyond what is considered
standard. In fact, our new Higher Stability range of step platform
and extension ladders are engineered to provide safety beyond the bare minimum.
What exceeds major standards and regulations?
Some providers design and engineer products that feature unique additions that go above and beyond its competitors.
All Branach ladders, for example, feature a distinctive fibreglass box rail. Industry proven and tested, the fibreglass box rail dramatically reduces twist and sway by up to 40%. It’s also electrically resistant while being both lighter and more durable than C-section ladders.
We engineer products that go far beyond the minimum safety requirements. From our work platforms to leaning ladder series (single and extension), we ensure that we are not just providing a ladder but an entire height safety system.
Does it stack up to the competition?
Not all ladders are created equal. But everyone deserves to feel safe when working at heights. Whether it's made of aluminium, fiberglass or stainless steel… it makes a difference. And while fibreglass step platform and extension ladders are preferred, we take it another step at Branach.
Unlike other fibreglass products, ours are built with a full fibreglass box rail, so they are lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and remain ridged with very little flex or bounce.
How do I find the safest product range?
At Branach, we are always looking to develop products that provide the best possible solution for our customers. We continue to work with leaders across a variety of industries to develop and improve height safety solutions that are also easy to use. We do this because an injury to an employee is costly. To them, their family, and your business’ bottom line.
We have made a significant investment in agile design capability, incorporating stringent prototyping and testing. We continue to introduce new safety innovations through undertaking ongoing research and development of the use of height safety equipment around the world.
Investing in Branach is a guaranteed way to future proof your business. We’re not just any old ladder company, we’re height safety partners for life.
How can I be sure Branach is for me?
Since 1990, Branach has been synonymous with electrically-safe fibreglass ladders and other height safety equipment. We have been producing the highest standards in design, and manufacturing to all trades across the world.
Made in Australia by an Aussie-owned company, Branach ladders exceed American, European and Australian safety standards for portable ‘working at height’ products and have become the first-choice product for electricians, emergency workers and more.
Our focus is on you, the customer, and how we can not only
provide you with the safest products now, but well into the future. Partnering
with Branach is a journey and also includes ongoing inspections and repairs to
ensure you get the most out of your Branach height safety solutions.
