A composite beam having high compressive and tensile strength is disclosed. The beam is also very lightweight, has a high modulus of elasticity, and is able to support heavy loads in applications such as in use in aerial lift devices. High dielectric resistance is also a very important property exhibited by the beam. There are three structural layers in the beam including an inner layer comprising a wound filament, a middle layer comprising a plurality of plates, and an outer layer also comprising a woven or a non-woven material. |
