Aluminium Ladder Beam

What is an aluminium Ladder Beam?
The aluminium Ladder Beam evolved from the old steel ladder beam. The change to aluminium coincided with the product being tested for the first time.
Ladder Beams have a wide range of uses and can also be used to form part of a more complex structure.
