1. Fitters, tools and materials:
We recommend that 2
tters install the attic ladder together.
One tter must be strong enough to lift the attic ladder to the
ceiling (as the attic ladder weighs up to 50 kg, depending on
model).

models can be fitted by one fitter working alone.
You will require the following materials and tools:
• Electric screwdriver
• Pencil
• Hand saw
• Folding rule or similar
• Square
• 100 mm screws
• Protective gloves
• Oil
• Timber for transverse joists – same dimensions as ceiling
joists (if needed)
• Temporary support beams (approx. 20 cm longer than
width of attic opening
• Wooden blocks and wedges
• A large step ladder
• A solid work platform
• Planks for work platform (if necessary)
The work platform should be high enough to allow you to
climb up into the attic without exceeding the maximum per-
mitted work platform height. The work platform must bear a
load corresponding to the weight of the tter plus the weight
of the attic ladder.
