Guide to Heavy Duty Loft Ladders

Anyone can say they offer a ‘heavy duty’ loft ladder, but what does it really mean?

When specifying a heavy duty loft ladder, Premier Loft Ladders always recommend the following:

-      Check the ladder conforms to BS EN 14975

-      Aim for a load rating of at least 200 kg per tread

-      Ensure that there is a good warranty with the ladder

-      Prioritise loft ladders featuring large treads and a handrail

Depending on the project, fire-protection, security and operation from above may also be essential requirements.
