What Is Aramid Fiber?
Aramid fiber is a family of high-performance synthetic fibers known for exceptional strength-to-weight characteristics, heat resistance, and durability. Kevlar® is DuPont’s well-known aramid fiber technology. The TELESTEPS 1600EKP incorporates DuPont™ Kevlar® reinforced composite rails to combine non-conductive performance, professional-duty strength, lightweight construction, and compact portability in a telescoping extension ladder platform.
Why Kevlar® Composite Construction?
DuPont™ Kevlar® is a high-performance aramid fiber recognized for its exceptional strength-to-weight characteristics. TELESTEPS incorporates Kevlar® reinforced composite rails into the 1600EKP to provide non-conductive performance, professional-duty strength, and compact portability for demanding electrical, utility, industrial, and field-service applications. The telescoping design also provides an alternative to transporting and storing a conventional full-size ladder when vehicle and equipment space is limited.
