Applications

Maintenance Access: OSCO catwalk systems, stair towers and fixed-access ladders are made from fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP), so they won’t weaken from rust and corrosion. Configurations options are nearly unlimited and many components are kept in stock, so we can help you quickly get exactly what you need for your application. 

High-Strength Support: Pound for pound, FRP has the strength of steel at a fraction of the weight, so you can use it with confidence for work platforms with heavy equipment, trench covers and more. The high strength handles the job, and the lower weight makes FRP easier to install and can reduce the need for additional support structures. 

The Advantages of FRP

• Resists Corrosion — Fiberglass doesn’t warp, rust or rot, plus it absorbs little moisture.
• High Strength — Pound for pound, FRP delivers the strength of steel at a fraction of the weight.
• Easy To Install — Only standard tools are needed.
• Stable — Fiberglass doesn’t swell or shrink, ensuring dimensional stability.
• Built-In Safety Features — Nonslip surfaces are available, plus FRP is nonconductive to reduce the risk of shock. 
• Virtually Maintenance-Free — Coloring is molded throughout, so it never needs painting.
