Safety and Metal Loft Ladders
Werner Easiway 3 Section Aluminium Sliding Loft Ladder
When accessing your loft space, safety is naturally going to be a top priority. A good quality metal loft ladder that has been securely and correctly fitted should provide you with ease of access, meaning you can enter your loft space safely whenever you need to.
What safety features are available with a metal loft ladder?
The best loft ladders are carefully designed to ensure the user’s safety. There are also plenty of additional parts you can purchase to make sure your metal ladder is extra secure, such as handrails and loft exit grab rails.
To ensure your metal loft ladder is safe, you should make sure that:
- The ladder is sturdy
- The footholds and handholds are solid, nonslip, and correctly spaced
- The ladder comfortably meets the loft opening
- The ladder does not wobble or appear to strain when you put weight on it
- The ladder can be stowed away safely after use
