I am currently using a telescopic ladder to access my loft which is a bit of a pain. I use my loft mostly for storage so I am looking for a solution that would make it easy to set up the ladder and get tools and boxes in and out of my loft. I have Googled possible solutions and have come across this one. https://uk.fontanotshop.com/fontano...-P7OOgndVL9eJPgCEyYebIz881eg_uv0aAhMvEALw_wcB. Please let me know what you think about this one and whether you have an alternative solution that would work better.

Haven't tried them but with a narrow tread and thin steel, it maybe best to see in person if possible.
Consider a wooden ladder as an alternative. I installed this many years ago and found it OK.

Whatever you choose, access always be constrained by the loft hatch size, and relatively steep angle of the ladder. Having a clean loft, good lighting and a sturdy (chipboard) floor is also important, especially if you can access key tools whilst standing on the ladder.

The ceiling height is 2.6m, the hatch dimension is 65 X 65 cm but it can be made larger. There's room to open it both ways
