Heavy duty ladder with large opening, sturdy wide steps, heavy duty hinges on inside & outside of the wood ladder sections. Bought the first one 5 years ago and use it ALL THE TIME in my garage. Still looks and functions like new. The high weight capacity is put to use in the garage. I searched out for this second one which is going in my workshop attic.
It's not light so get some help when intalling it.

Don't pass this one up just because it's not aluminum! This thing is pretty solid and should last longer than you own your house. Before you buy this, check that your rafters are 16"-on-center: the rough opening is 30" wide X 60" long. If you're an ambitious do-it-yourselfer, this should be a pretty easy project.
Ideally, you should have 2 people to get it installed (one in the attic, one down below). However, you can probably do it by yourself if you have a second way out of your attic. My technique was to first shove the 75lb ladder unit up into the attic. Then I climbed down and screwed 2X6's across the underside of the rough opening. I went back into the attic and slid the ladder over until it dropped down into the rough opening (and was resting on the 2X6's). At this point, it's perfectly flush with the ceiling below so I shimmed it square and screwed the frame into the rough opening. Last I pull off the 2X6 blocking and finish the install as directed. Bam. Done.
One thing to be aware of, this unit has zero insulation. I put mine in the garage and didn't care, but if you're installing this inside your living area, you'll need to make arrangements to insulate it. Also, it has no fire rating ... the bottom skin is 1/8" plywood. I'm a bit paranoid so I'm going to secure some 5/8" drywall onto the underside.
My huge complaint, and the reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 ... their packaging is horrible!! Mine was shipped via UPS and it arrived looking like it got hit by a train. The thin cardboard was crushed right down to the product. UPS actually splintered the lowest tread on the ladder and I had to glue that part back together (I didn't discover that damage till I was in the last step of installation). Secondly, the hardware & instruction baggie was taped to the OUTSIDE of the box!?!?! It's nothing short of a miracle those parts arrived with the ladder.

The merchandizer gave me fits when without notice they declined to ship product because my address did not fit their format. An Amazon.com represenative very professionally helped me reorder and saved me money doing so.
Packaged in a flimsy box with no support the frame arrived more like a trapazoid then a rectangle and more then one scar on the crushed edges of the door will have to be covered with a false front.
Stouter then the other attic ladder in another room which came with the house I will give the manufacture an "A" for this product.

Quality, well built attic ladder. The 30 X 60 size allows larger items to be brought through the attic stair opening. Installation was relatively easy for the size of the ladder. Read more

Easy open?!?
I can't get this ladder to open, the spring is too f'n tight. The description shouldn't say "It opens and closes smoothly and easily" cause it doesn't, unless you're 200+ lbs... Read more

Perfect EXCEPT for one thing...
