If you have to push your loft hatch up and away from you to access your loft space, it's very likely that your property has a push-up loft hatch. Whilst this type of loft hatch isn't as popular as its drop-down counterpart, there are still many advantages to having a loft hatch that opens in this way. For example, it's cheaper and space-saving!
One of the main questions that people with push-up loft hatches ask is: how do I get into my push-up loft hatch and which ladder should I use? Not to worry! In this blog, we'll outline the best way to access your push-up loft hatch using a ladder.
The Best Ladder for a Push Up Loft Hatch
With a push-up loft hatch, you will be unable to use a standard loft ladder that gets attached to the hatch. This is because loft ladders are made specially suited to the logistics of a drop-down loft hatch. With a drop-down loft hatch, the ladder works by being pulled down along with the drop-down hatch. Obviously, this is impossible with a push-up loft hatch, as you'd never get to see or use the ladder!
The best ladder for a push up loft hatch would be a platform step ladder. Take a look at some of the different options that we stock at Ladders UK Direct Below...
If you need extra support:
For extra support, we'd suggest our Professional Platform Step Ladder with Handrail. This will give you the extra security you need when accessing your loft.
If you need to move heavy items into your loft:
When carrying extra heavy loads it's integral that you follow our step ladder safety tips and it's best to have another person with you to help. We'd suggest one of our Heavy Duty Platform Step Ladders to securely hold the weight of yourself, and anything that you're carrying.
If you only use your loft ladder occasionally:
We'd suggest one of our best selling products - the Professional Platform Step Ladder. This platform step ladder will provide you with safe access to your loft space, with a 175kg maximum load limit and a 5 year guarantee.
