A. Skylark Electric Attic Stairs is powered by Linak, which are one of the most renowned manufacturers of motors and electric equipment in the world. Because of Linaks incredible record, we have teamed up with them to produce a system for our product. The ladder is made from Beech hardwood, which is one of the finest timbers in the world and gives the Skylark a very solid feel when climbing. All our steel and timber parts are made in our factory to insure the highest quality. It is for all the above reasons that the Skylark now comes with a 10 year parts warranty.

A. The Skylark ladder is made from Beech which is a hard wood; most if not all loft ladders are made from much softer woods. The steel used on the Skylark is also up to 2 mm thicker than on most other loft ladders. As a result the Skylark gives you a very solid feel when being used, and can be used every day.

A. Because of the Skylarks unique design which allows it to fold in three sections, the overall size of the unit is very similar to most manual loft ladder dimensions, so there is a very good chance that the Skylark will fit into the same space as your current manual loft ladder.

The Skylark stairs operates up to 3.2 M high ceilings as standard and higher by request.

A. The Skylark Attic Ladder is worked by remote control, so it is possible to close it from above, however one must never do this as it will restrict your ability to escape in the event of an emergency.

Safety is paramount, and to enhance your peace of mind, the Skylark ladder is equipped with two handrails as standard. These handrails provide additional support, making your climb not only functional but also safe and secure. Elevate your climbing experience with the Skylark—where precision meets safety.
