Telesteps 9 Section 9 Tread Telescoping Loft ladder

I have been researching these ladders for sometime as there is no room in the loft for anything bigger. The Telesteps fit nicely into the hatchway which I modified so that it drops down. I fitted loose pin hinges to the hatch so that it could be removed if necessary. Our ceilings are quite low and it can be removed so that it doesn't block the bedroom door. I am very pleased with the ladder, but I did feel that the instructions could have been a bit more comprehensive. I had to look at the drawing with a magnifying glass to work out how the ladder was attatched to the mounting plate and the tension springs. These took a bit of getting in to place as you are pulling against the tension. I found the best way was to put a strong wire loop through the ring at the bottom of the spring and pull it down with a length of rope until it could be moved onto the notch on the rod.

Great loft ladder, solid, and very easy to fit and operate. I am only 5' 4" so need to stand on a little folding step to put it away. Going by measurements it should not fit, but as our landing is tight due to access direction and balustrade we do not have the ladder at the ideal operating angle so it is just long enough.

Bought this to install for a customer and it is excellent !. Great quality and very sturdy.
Only negative is the instructions are photo only and not very clear

Easy to install, although I needed to make the loft opening larger but had planned to do this anyway. Works a treat and is easy to use.

Easy to fit and folds up to a compact 32". The spring was the only thing I grappled with as they are very strong. I used mole grips to grip and pull down.
