    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.

    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.

    Get multiple heights in one ladder—these ladders extend and lock in 1-ft. increments to give you the exact height you need. When closed, they're small enough to fit in a job bag for easy transport and compact storage. To close, pinch tabs on the second rung to release the locking mechanism, and then slide each section down one by one.
    ANSI-ASC A14.2 certifies dimensional and performance requirements for aluminum ladders.
    Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe operating practices. Per OSHA regulations, the ladder rails must rise at least three feet above the elevated surface being accessed.
    Type I—Type 1 ladders are tested to hold up to 250 lbs.
    Type IA—Type 1A ladders are tested to hold up to 300 lbs.

    These ladders have movable sections that extend and collapse into one another, so you can adjust them to the height you need. Configure them into step ladders, straight ladders, or stairwell ladders.
    Note: Ladders meet OSHA and Cal/OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
    Fiberglass Rail—Fiberglass ladders are nonconductive for use in electrical work. ANSI-ASC A14.5 certifies dimensional and performance requirements for fiberglass ladders.
    Aluminum Rail—Aluminum ladders are lighter than fiberglass ones, making them easier to move between work areas. ANSI-ASC A14.2 certifies dimensional and performance requirements for aluminum ladders.
    Type IA—Type 1A ladders are tested to hold up to 300 lbs.
    Type IAA—Type 1AA ladders are tested to hold up to 375 lbs.
