Attic Access Ladders

Forget about those shaky stepladders. Create safe and easy access above your ceiling with Attic Access Ladders. Utilise your above ceiling space as convenient storage area for all types of odds and ends too good to throw out, seasonal sporting equipment, prams and pushers, clothing, etc. It is also perfect for providing access to service air-conditioning plants in factories and office buildings and access to roof areas.

As Attic Access Ladders are constructed from welded aluminium they are strong and durable and all steel parts including springs are zinc plated. The ladder is mounted in such a way as to allow clearance between the steps and the ceiling hatch for safer footing. A handrail is also available to assist when boarding the ladder from the top. Dust and draught sealing strips are standard on most types while slim fitted architraves complete the visual effect viewed from below. All models feature Concealed Hinges.

Out spring counter balance system is designed in such a way that when the hatch is closed, the springs are almost relaxed ensuring life long service.

Installation is EASY by one person as the unit will hold itself in position once pushed into the opening. The ladders is fully adjustable and no cutting is necessary.

Our ladders are made in 3 sections for strength, easy operation, easy reach even at 3.3m (11'10") ceiling height. Above 3.4m loops are fitted to the first 2 steps to make unfolding, using the rod, easy. Four section ladders and special size manholes are made to order at extra cost. We also make escape ladders for commercial applications.

The built-in frame of the hatch enables the Attic Access Ladder to blend into your ceiling with practically little intrusion.

A rod supplied fits into an eye or keyhole on the hatch while the counter-balanced springs make opening of the hatch so easy.

The hatch of the Attic Access Ladder is easily painted to match existing ceiling colour, the insides of the frame come in white laminate finish.

Attic Access Ladders, with their strength, simple, practical and trouble free design, are extremely well suited to commercial and domestic applications.

Yes! We do installations, including into suspended ceilings.

Clearance "A" can be reduced by using a 4 section ladder.
