  can easily transport them from one place to

  these ladders is dissipative ladders which are
  designed to withstand Electrostatic Discharges
  incidents. An ESD occurs when there is a sudden
  flow of electric current that will discharge into
  a conductor. One of the greatest conductor is the
  human body and dissipative ladders prevents
  electrical transfer making it safe to use
  especially if you are working on an electrical
  task.
