Abru 37000 3 Section Compact Aluminium Loft Ladder, Comfort D-Shaped Rungs, Inc. Stowing Pole, 150kg Load Capacity, Safety Certification EN14975, 5 Year Guarantee

This is one of the cheaper loft ladders so I knew I may be taking a chance but it is well made and I find it pretty sturdy and I’m average height and weight. The instructions are pretty good but need careful reading as you go along so not to miss a step.Biggest bit for me was adapting the trapdoor size but I managed it ok,just measure carefully. Overall good value for money.

Does what says on the tin. Easy install easy use

After getting a few quotes to get the loft boarded with ladder & light, I looked up if DIY for a first timer was practical. Fast forward 3 days and I managed to board the central part of the loft and even installed a light. Initially, I borrowed a telescopic ladder from my neighbour and would have bought the same if not for the weight and the loud clicking/clanking whilst retracting. The timber types would require a new hatch and cutting into the ceiling, something I couldn't imagine being able to do myself. So extensive googling (or Amazoing, at least a part) landed me here. Assembly: Frankly, it took more time trying to understand the instructions than the actual assembly which was minimal because I didn't need to install the included hatch catch/lock. Installation: It couldn't have taken any more than 45 minutes to install the ladder. The ladder angle is to be adjusted when fixing it to the loft floor. There's a guide sticker on the side of the ladder which I'd suggest following. Another reviewer has written about the ladder coming off the sliding rail if stowed away speedily. I reckon that's because they have not installed the 'bottom stops'. Ladder: It's very light weight and a bit rattly (if that's even a word). The steps/rungs aren't deep and wearing flex sole footwear helps. It said to support 150 kg and I wouldn't doubt it. I'm just under 90 kg and feel confident climbing up and down. The stowing hook should be used with the open side facing up, otherwise the ladder is likely to slip off the hook which may cause injury. Final thoughts: I have deducted a star because of the rather shallow steps/rungs and a bit iffy sliding mechanism. BUT this ladder still represent, IMHO, money's worth. The 5 years warranty is there should it break. Thank You for reading.

Very good loft ladder.

Good item, well made and easy to install. Can be installed either attached to the loft hatch or not. I opted not to attach to the hatch.

Easy to install . Very light . Not very strong quality

Very easy to fit.

Very good . Delivery very prompt. Instructions simple and straightforward. Easy to install. Perfect for the job. Just one little point. To stow the ladder you sort of need 3 hands. Lower down I can use my knee to raise the sections but higher up you almost have to be a contortionist. It’s not insurmountable. I will attach a bungee cord to assist but from a design point of view it’s not absolutely perfect.
