These are a good half-way house between our standard aluminum loft ladders and the wooden type. They have a really nice chunky feel to them, which combined with the deep treads makes them feel very solid when climbing up.

Pros:

• Only takes up about 10” in the loft • Really nice anodised aluminum finish - VERY smart! • Wider, deeper steps, almost as deep as the wooden ladders • Very chunky, solid construction • Rated up to 150kg - 23 stone! • Ideal for boiler-in-loft installations and servicing.

Cons:

• Quite heavy - 13kg, (around 27lb) to push up fairly high to clip over securing bar when stowing away. Our regular 2 section ladder weighs 5kg. • Not quite as adjustable as our standard ladders, so not suitable for confined space on the landing e.g. in two bed terrace houses. • Since the ladder doesn’t take up much loft space, it needs more hatch space, so it’s not suitable for loft openings under 55cm wide by 60cm deep. • No handrail available due to the way the ladder telescopes down. • If you’d like one of these we can fit it without a quote visit first. • If it can’t be fitted we can fit a standard two-section ladder instead. • Don’t forget either option will also need a drop-down hatch. • More details on openings: click here
