- • Compact Design: Three-section aluminium construction folds to a small profile for neat loft storage
- • Best for: Homeowners and landlords needing secure, space-saving loft access
- • Not ideal for: Lofts with floor-to-loft heights above 3m or unusually shaped hatch openings
Three-section aluminium ladder packs away neatly and keeps the hatch area tidy. Supplied with a stowing pole and clear installation instructions for straightforward use.
Stable, heavy-duty climbing – with a 150kg load-rated aluminium frame
Aluminium three-section construction gives a rigid, lightweight structure rated to 150kg under EN14975 testing. Joints and slide interfaces are designed to distribute weight across the frame rather than load single points.
Confident climbing when carrying boxes or tools, suitable for regular domestic use. The 150kg rating makes it practical for a person plus light equipment during loft access.
Comfortable foothold for regular use – with D-shaped non-slip rungs
D-shaped rungs increase the tread surface compared with narrow round steps and are treated to reduce slip. The profile reduces pressure on the foot while climbing and offers a more secure step underfoot.
Reduced foot fatigue and better grip make repeated trips to the loft less tiring. Comfortable rungs improve safety for users of varying shoe types.
Straightforward home installation – with supplied fittings and instructions
Manufactured for DIY fitting, the ladder arrives complete with fixings and a comprehensive instruction guide detailing measurements and mounting points. Compatibility notes cover a range of floor thicknesses and hatch sizes.
Many homeowners can fit the ladder without specialist help, saving on installation hassle. Clear guidance reduces the chance of incorrect mounting and the need for follow-up adjustments.
