    Under-Mount Foldaway Steps

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Steps. Under-Mount Foldaway Steps.
    A leg up when you need it, out of the way when you don’t—these ladders slide in and out of their mounting bracket for easy access. Originally designed for trucks, weld or bolt them underneath any surface. Made of powder-coated steel, they resist rust and stand up to the elements. The perforated steps are slip resistant and easier on your shoes than serrated steps.
    Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.

    Foldaway Stairs

    Shown Folded

    Extend these stairs out to reach a storage or work area, then fold them flat against the wall when you’re done. The handrail locks onto the stairs to keep them from folding while you climb. Made of steel, they’re durable enough to withstand heavy use. Their powder coating helps prevent rust. Serrated steps prevent slipping and allow liquids and dirt to pass through. All include a mounting bracket that you can weld or bolt to your surface.
    Note: Stairs meet OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.

    Extended

    Retracted

    Pull these ladders down to access elevated work areas, then fold them up flat when you’re done. Originally designed for boats, they bolt to the top edge of any raised surface. They’re made of 304 stainless steel, so they’ll resist corrosion when used outdoors. The steps are ribbed to prevent slips. Wrap the rungs with the included cord to secure them when they’re not in use.
    Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.

    Ceiling-Mount Foldaway Ladders

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ladders. Ceiling-Mount Foldaway Ladders.
    Access overhead spaces. These ladders fold down when you need them and fold up into the ceiling when you don’t. A gas piston reduces the force you need to open and close them. Made from aluminum, these ladders are lightweight and durable. They’re rated Type 1AA, which means they’re tested to hold up to 375 lbs. The ribbed steps have good slip resistance. To reduce energy loss, weatherstripping seals the opening.
    The frame on these ladders fits common sizes for attic openings. They need at least 74" of clearance to open and close properly.
    Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
