Fold down ladders for safe and secure internal access

Fold down ladders provide sturdy, high strength access to internal spaces, with soft close technology for increased user safety.

Goleman recommends and installs Kattsafe fold down ladders. Available in three configurations – commercial, compact and maxi. Also known as roof access hatch ladders and attic ladders, the adjustable feet and large height range ensures a good fit for all types of spaces.

These industrial-rated fold down ladders incorporate industry leading technology and are designed to fit any ceiling or roof type, including standard and timber truss.

There is also a suspended ceiling system for use with lightweight, non-load bearing ceilings. The adjustable fold down ladder suspension kit attaches to the roof support structure, offering structural and lateral stability to the ladder system. Support flanges around the ladder frame provide an easy and neat finish to suspended or solid ceiling systems.
