Product Information

Full details

This 3-section sliding loft ladder from Loft-trac is designed for homeowners needing safe and easy access to their loft spaces. Its key benefit is a combination of safety features, including handrails and non-slip treads, along with a robust construction supporting up to 150kg. A potential caveat is the required floor-to-loft height range of 2.13m to 3m, which might not suit all properties. It features premium aluminum alloy, certified safety, secure handrails, oversized non-slip feet, dual pivot arms, and spring-loaded locks.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of this loft ladder?

What is the suitable height range for this ladder?

This ladder is suitable for floor-to-loft heights between 2.13 meters and 3 meters.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

The ladder is supplied with all necessary fixings. Basic DIY tools such as a drill, screwdriver, and measuring tape may be required, as detailed in the instructions.

Can this ladder be used with any type of loft hatch?

The ladder is designed for standard loft hatches. A conversion kit is included to transform 'push up' hatches into 'swing down' operation for better compatibility.

Are the safety handrails removable?

The safety handrails are a fixed part of the ladder's design for continuous support and are not designed to be removable.

How do I clean the aluminum ladder?

Clean the aluminum components using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning chemicals.

What safety standards does this ladder meet?

The ladder is certified to EN14975, ensuring it meets European safety standards for loft ladders.

Troubleshooting

Ladder is stiff or difficult to slide.

Check for any obstructions on the slide runners. Clean the runners and apply a silicone-based lubricant. Ensure the ladder is properly aligned within the hatch.

Safety handrails feel loose.

Verify that all bolts and screws securing the handrails are tightened appropriately according to the installation manual.

Ladder does not lock securely.

Inspect the spring-loaded locking catches for damage or debris. Ensure the ladder is fully extended and correctly seated against the loft floor before engaging locks.

Rubber feet show significant wear.

Contact the manufacturer or a hardware supplier for replacement feet. Continuing to use a ladder with worn feet can compromise stability and floor protection.

Operating pole is difficult to attach or use.

Ensure the pole is correctly inserted into its designated attachment point on the ladder. Check for any bends or damage to the pole.

Ensure the loft opening and surrounding area are clear before installation. Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with DIY projects.

Compatibility: This ladder is designed for floor-to-loft heights between 2.13m and 3m. It is compatible with standard loft hatches, and the included conversion kit assists with adaptability. Ensure your loft joists can support the ladder's mounting points.

Care: Regularly inspect the ladder for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the aluminum components with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the pivot arms and locking mechanisms are free from debris and operate smoothly. Periodically check that the rubber feet are secure and not excessively worn.
