Q.: Who did invent it?
R.: It is an invention of SKYLAX, an Italian ladder manufacturer, experienced in manufacturing fibre glass ladders.

Q.: Why not rely any further on fibre glass ladders?
R.: Fibre glass is better controllable than wood because it is man made and supposedly, if it is dry, it does not conduct electricity. But there are many disadvantages of fibre glass ladders: they are heavier than wood or aluminium and  tend to chip and crack under severe impact. When overload, they can crack and fail suddenly. You need diamond tools to cut it  that produces fibre glass powder said to be carcinogenic. In our production line we work with high speed evacuators, masks and tyvek clothes in order to avoid any human contact with fibre glass micro-powder. Fibre glass ladders also require a finish to protect users. Aluminium does not create all these problems.

Q.: But how do you make aluminium ladders non conductive?
R.: All our aluminium profiles have passed through different treatments. The result is an aluminum ladder with additional fantastic new characteristics: high dielectric strength, surface and volume resistance, resistance against any form of oxidation, blistering, cracking or flaking; aluminium profiles are coloured, brilliant, easy to clean, they resist years in salty seawater, they resist against agents in the atmosphere, against permanent UV rays  and they are absolutely free of toxins.

Q.: What are the advantages of CityStar for the end user?
R.: The new telescoping ladder CityStar is good for electrical utilities, for general industry use  including the food industry, and last but not least for residential use; CityStar is  light, clean, insulating, multipurpose for working heights up to 7 meters; it is long lasting and easy to repair on the field. Try it and you will discover other advantages.
