Accessing the roof
through a suspended ceiling has always been an issue that has been overcome
with inconvenient and sometimes outright unsafe solutions. Gorter has developed
a patented plenum system to solve this problem, this is a series of steps that
span the distance between a suspended ceiling and the roof without missing a
single step, and maintaining the same incline as the stair reaching the
ceiling. This system allows a scissor stair attic ladder to be placed in the
ceiling, whilst the roof hatch can be placed up to 1.2m above the ceiling on
the roof. Even if this distance is greater, Gorter has a system to safely span
the gap between attic ladder and roof.
Gorter roof hatches and attic ladders comply with
Australian, European and national standards and are made from the highest
quality materials. The large aluminium steps are anti skid, and thanks to the
unique pivot system, can be adjusted to be perfectly horizontal regardless of
the incline of the stair. Gorter scissor stair attic ladders come in a variety
of sizes, and are suitable for floor to ceiling heights of up to 3.5metres. A
telescopic handrail is mounted on each attic ladder for safety, and the entire
assembly is counter balanced for ease of use, in fact less than 3kg of force is
required for operation. The high strength design allows heavy duty access for
both industrial and domestic purposed. Gorter attic ladders come with a hinged
ceiling panel, so when not in use, it becomes almost invisible within the
ceiling.
A Gorter attic ladder is perfect to combine with a roof
hatch, and with a wide range of available standard and custom sizes, there is an
attic ladder and roof hatch combination to suit any access requirement. Gorter
scissor stair attic ladders are available in a fire rated option, as well as an
electrically operated option which will make its use even more convenient! An
optional plenum ladder, which spans the distance between a suspended ceiling
and the roof without changing the gradient of the steps is also available and
is attached to the roof cavity and the attic ladder. When a Gorter roof hatch
and attic ladder are combined with a plenum ladder, a highly convenient and
safe access solution is provided for access through suspended ceilings. Above
all, Gorter guarantees that their scissor stair attic ladders are THE CHEAPEST IN AUSTRALIA for product
comparable in quality and features.
