Skylax srl

  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
