Gorter Hatches presents a new design extension to their scissor stair attic ladders to enable safe access through suspended ceilings.
Roof access through a suspended ceiling is currently facilitated by inconvenient and sometimes outright unsafe solutions. The new patented plenum system developed by Gorter consists of 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.
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.
Designed to comply with Australian, European and national standards, Gorter roof hatches and attic ladders are made from high quality materials.
Key features of Gorter scissor stair attic ladders:

- Telescopic handrail is mounted on each attic ladder for safety
- Entire assembly is counter balanced for ease of use requiring less than 3kg of force for operation
- High strength design allows heavy duty access for both industrial and domestic applications
- Comes with a hinged ceiling panel, becoming almost invisible within the ceiling when not in use
- Can be combined with a roof hatch to suit any access requirement
- Available in a fire rated option as well as an electrically operated option for more convenience
- Optional plenum ladder spans the distance between a suspended ceiling and the roof without changing the gradient of the steps
