It features premium aluminum alloy, certified safety, secure handrails, oversized non-slip feet, dual pivot arms, and spring-loaded locks.

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.
