“City Star” and “Country Star” telescoping ladders signal thermal chock exposition of aluminium:
Aluminium alloys used in ladders are high tensile alloys for lighter weight and greater strength. Because of this, these alloys have been heat treated when manufactured. This heat treating is done at about 315°C / 600°F to get the aluminium to its final tensile strength. If the aluminium ladder has been subjected to extreme heat exposure – even for a brief period -, the load capacity may be reduced even though the aluminium without surface treatments would show no sign of any change.

Leitern für Hygiene Bereiche
Friday, April 25th, 2008
Eine Alternative zu Edelstahl-Leitern sind SKYLAX Steiggeräte mit HACCP-Anspruch.
· Stufen und Gestell aus eloxiertem Aluminium: ohne schwarzen Abrieb und leicht zu reinigen
· Stufenbelaege aus Schaumstoff mit geschlossenen Zellen: ohne Eindringen von Wasser, Fett, Oele, Saeuren und ohne Loesungsmittel abwaschbar
· FDA-Zulassung: SKYLAX “STAR”-Teleskopleitern und “STAR”-Klapptreppen mit roter Hochglanz-Beschichtung sind nicht nur elektrisch isoliert (bis 1000 V Wechselspannung) sondern auch Fett-, Salz-, Saeuren-, Halogen- und UV-bestaendig.
Dank dieser einmaligen Eigenschaften bieten SKYLAX HACCP – steiggeraete eine dauerhafte Loesung in den meisten Bereichen mit hoechsten Hygiene Anspruechen. Mehr dazu: HACCP – Steiggeräte

SKYLAX HACCP ladders
Saturday, March 8th, 2008
Read: Sara E. Mortimore, Carol Wallace, Christos Cassianos “HACCP” Wiley-Blackwell | 2001-12-05 | ISBN 0632056487 – to learn more about HACCP:
The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point system (HACCP) is a preventative food safety management system, that can be applied throughout the food supply chain from primary production to the consumer. HACCP is internationally recognized as the most effective way to produce safe food, providing a structure for objective assessment of what can go wrong and requiring controls to be put in place to prevent problems. As part of the Blackwell Food Industry Briefing Series, this important book provides a concise, easy-to-use, quick reference aimed at busy food-industry professionals, students or others who need to gain an outline working knowledge. The book is structured so that the reader can read through it in a few hours and arm themselves with the essentials of the topic. Clearly presented, this HACCP briefing includes checklists, bullet points, flow charts, schematic diagrams for quick reference, and at the start of each section the authors have provided useful key points summary boxes.

Recycling fiberglass?
Monday, January 8th, 2007
“Fiberglass” or “glassfibre” is material made from extremely fine fibers of glass. It is used as a reinforcing agent for polymer products. The resulting composite material, properly known as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) or glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), in popular usage is called “fiberglass. The advantages of the products are corrosion resistant, mechanical strength, low weight, chemical resistant, electrical and thermal insulating and many others.
Unfortunately fiberglass is much more difficult to recycle than materials like wood (100 % natural and industrial recycling), aluminium (75 % industrial recycling). Crushing and granulation is one possibility but commercially non proven.. Tests have shown that it is technically possible to break down the molecule chains in uncured polyester by pyrolysis, and then reuse the resulting product as new polyester raw materials. However, pyrolysis is not currently financially viable.
Fiberglass ladders are said to end up in a landfill.
“Acciaio Domani”
Thursday, September 7th, 2006
At September 6, 2006 the City of Udine opens its parks and streets to “Acciaio Domani” a future oriented exposition of new steel products, samples, designs and artistic models. The exposition is sponsored by the Friaul Industry Organisation (Assindustria) and represents its top products in the hall of “San Francesco” near the Udine Cathedral.
You will find there the new SKYLAX telescoping ladder “City Star“:
· the first dielectric aluminium ladder for works up to 1000 Volt a.c.
· shiny red colour
· stronger than resins, no cracking, non flaking, no blistering
· highly resistant in salty environments
· clean, dry and hygienic (HACCP, coating FDA approval)
· electrical resistance tested with 10 thousand Volt a.c.
· mechanical abrasion tested with 600 working hours
Hereafter some technical characteristics of the new type of ladders:
Shop “City Star Insulating”
1. For electrical utilities (low voltage)
- best for electrical utilities up to 1000 Volts a.c. e.g.:
- power, instrumentation and telecom works; access and works with remote control and alarm systems, structured cabling systems, vehicle & marine tracking systems, public address systems, telecommunication towers & monopoles, sub-station works, works with transformers, generators; total aircraft Care and helicopter maintenance;
2. For applications in food, drug, clean-room, HACCP fields
- brilliant surface
- no water absorption
- no absorption of grease
- no aluminium oxidation
- coating FDA approvals (food and water)
- coating very low toxicity on burning
- substitute steel ladders
3. For Firemen
- signals thermal chock exposition by change of colour over 315°C / 600°F. Aluminium alloys used in ladders are high tensile alloys for lighter weight and greater strength. Because of this, these alloys have been heat treated when manufactured to get the aluminium to its final tensile strength. If the aluminium ladder has been subjected to extreme heat exposure – even for a brief period -, the load capacity may be reduced even though the aluminium would show no sign of any change. Aluminium ladders with SKYLAX STAR-coating indicate any extreme heat exposure of aluminium. Other characteristics:
- non slip coating
- with soft and warm touch feeling
- heat insulating up to 90°C
- all burning parts (PVC-feet, PA-rung covers, PA-handles) can be replaced manually in field
4. For applications in the Marine- and Offshore Industry
- example: helicopter rescue equipment
