We have made the move to Branach ladders a couple of years ago and we have had several with issues, these include,
The bracket that holds the sections together has bent and the ladder has had a large amount of sideways movement, leading to the sections of the ladder have become separated. We have been told that we need to alter our trucks and the way we store/transport the ladders, they have said we need to fit rollers to our trucks
Cracks around the styles
Branach are looking at the faults, to date we have sent 5 of our 9 back to Branach with faults so far.
The guys have lost confidence in the Branach ladder as they also say it has an excessive amount of sideways flex and they don’t feel safe on them.
I know there are a few companies out there using them, is anyone else having similar issues?
What other options, Alright are hard to find information on, and I believe having issues with timber supply, and I don’t know if they are made to NZ Standard.
