Waxing ladder beams. x Why? It helps the ladders slide more smoothly out of the ladder bay. It decreases friction between the beams and the guide brackets when raising. x What to use: The manufacturer recommends paraffin wax (skate wax would probably also work). x How: Wax on, no off. #firefighter #stationpride #ladders #throwladders #laddermaintenancetip #laddermaintenance #alcolite #truckcompany
