Scissor Ladder — Layout variation
Category: Layout variation
Concertina-style loft ladder with scissor mechanisms between steps — extends and retracts vertically, ideal for attics where space for folding ladders is limited.
Scissor ladders are a special form of loft ladder. Their steps are connected by scissor mechanisms, allowing the ladder to be extended and retracted like a concertina. This construction is particularly suitable where space is limited and no folding room is available.
