Overview
The Louisville FS1506 is a 6 foot fiberglass step ladder rated Type IA for a 300 pound load capacity, built with non-conductive rails for jobs near electrical work. Each step rises 12 inches and the top includes molded slots for holding tools.
Fiberglass rails make this a step ladder suited to electricians and anyone working around wiring, since the material will not conduct electricity the way an aluminum ladder would. It sits at the 6 foot mark in Louisville's fiberglass step ladder line, at a 300 pound Type IA rating.
- 6 foot height, Type IA, 300 pound capacity
- Non-conductive fiberglass full channel rails
- 12 inch step rise per tread
- Meets ANSI and OSHA ladder standards
Who it's for
Suited to homeowners and light duty tradespeople who need a stable 6 foot ladder for painting, gutter work, or jobs near live circuits. Anyone needing a taller reach should size up within the same line.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Non-conductive fiberglass rails for work near wiring
- 300 pound Type IA load rating
- Molded top tray for tool storage
- Slip resistant angled feet
- Fiberglass adds weight versus an equivalent aluminum ladder

Performance notes
