    I prefer my aluminum loft ladders, but have used the Fakro LWK21 Komfort I have found it ok, & not too difficult to fit.
    They have quite a few models in their range.

    I have fitted a few wooden ones in my time, imo they feel nicer, are easy to fit and use, and you can cut the length to size as well.

    I just had a look at their scaffold towers.(Just out of interest." And I started to get a bit confused,
    What is the difference between
    "Maximum Working Height. 7.2m(23'8")"
    "Tower Height. 6.31m (20'8")"
    "Maximum Platform Height 5.13m (16'10")"
    It just doesn't sound right...

    Add in a person, say 6' 6" tall onto 16' 10" gives you 23' 4" your Maximum Working Height.
    You get same answer with short person using a step up.
     

  10. Working = person
    Tower = to top hand rail
    Platform = platform

    Its probably already fitted and well used, considering this was 2015.
