Abru Arrow 3 Section Aluminium Loft Ladder

Arrived quickly, very easy to install, solid when easily pulled down and easy to push back up.

I liked this so much, I've just ordered another for another property. Once I'd figured out the assembly and instructions I found it sturdy, light and takes up less room in the loft than a 2 section equivalent. I was surprised to find it came with the extra bits you need, such as the latch and hinges to convert an upward lifting/loose board type loft hatch to a hinged downward loft hatch. I noticed another review that said it was flimsy and bent, but all I can think is that it wasn't assembled right or they hadn't put the stays across on both sides before use, because I weigh 16 stone and have lifted heavy boxes into the loft and it's fine! I didn't have to write a review for this product but felt it deserved credit where it's due. If you're handy at a little diy and don't mind making a few minor adjustments to your opening, then go for it.

Inexpensive and not too difficult to put up

Took ages to fit but worst thing is sharp edges of the plastic covers for the ladder ends that are very painful if they catch your knees when descending. When you've experienced it once you'll ensure you won't experience it again; trauma etched in memory. Otherwise very useful product.

The supplied instructions are clear and easy to follow, as a result the installation is straightforward. The ladder is very light and therefore very easy to deploy and stow away. Of course the very lightness means that the ladder gives slightly in use. I compared the different types of loft ladder very carefully and whilst the wooden ladders are more solid they are of course heavier and the weight is supported by the trap hinges whereas this ladder is fixed to the loft floor. Another important difference is that the aluminium ladder extends to or above the loft floor level which is more important where insulation has been put in with boarding above as under current requirements the floor is raised.

Very easy to install this 3 section loft ladder. It is light but sturdy and easy to lift up and down when in use. The double sided security bolts are much better than previous models I have bought. Highly recommended.

Admittedly got my dad to put it up, but it was pretty easy to put up. A screw or 2 were missing but luckily my dad had extras. The ladder is very light wait and perfect for small landings and lofts, at first looks like it won't hold much weight. But is very strong a secure once all fitted. Arrived day after ordered. Excellent
