Replacement Parts

All Alco-Lite brand fire ladders are constructed with field repairable parts.  You won’t need any special tools or highly trained professionals to replace any part from rungs to halyard, shoes to roof hooks. Call us at 1-800-752-2526 or right here on the website and we will be happy to get you the parts you need to get your ladder back on the truck! 

Heat Sensor Labels

Remember, aluminum does NOT change color when heated. You cannot determine with the naked eye if your ladder has been changed due to heat exposure.

Use heat sensor labels on each section of your ladders to let you know when they have been exposed to damaging heat levels. If they change color, the ladder must be removed from service and be tested per NFPA 1932.
