section

I have been reading, and for what I gather "volata" is each section of an extension ladder.

Look at these links:
http://www.max-model.it/album_foto/scheda.php?tipo=vf&cat=au...

"Lunghezza della scala 32m. Composta di 5 volate"

http://www.aedilweb.it/modules.php?name=News&file=article&si...

"[5] Quando sia necessario spostare una scala aerea in prossimità di linee elettriche, si deve evitare ogni possibilità di contatto, abbassando opportunamente la volata della scala." (very last sentence).

I hope it helps!
