Vintage 1920's/30's Gravity Ladder.

Concertina steel construction.

The original'GRAVITY LADDER' was made in London during the first half of the 20th century, a fore runner to the aluminium concertina loft ladders seen today.

A makers transfer suggests the design was patent pending circa 1920's. We salvaged several sets to use in our own renovation to access mezzanine storage levels. They posess both architectural good looks, and are immensely practical folding away when not in use. We now have two available in current stock, one shorter (as pictured) and one extra long.

They are is simple to use, and lightweight enough to be carried by one (moderately strong) person. There are rubber treads with which to anchor the bottom in place whilst a handle at the top is pulled to extend. Once the concertina construction is fully opened the structure is held rigid by two pairs of brackets which rotate and hook over the rungs.

The top is 'U' shaped and hooks over a structural beam or rail (shown here hooked over our sliding door rail). Once opened it they look amazing and are remarkably strong and rigid. A pair of oval knobs on the side provide hand holds for climbing.

They would look fabulous incorporated into large storage cabinets or bookcases. They would also be suitable to give access to a mezzanine or loft bed (subjec to building regs!)..
