attic ladder
Foldable garret access
An attic ladder is a retractable staircase that folds or telescopes into a ceiling opening, providing access to attic space when pulled down and storing compactly when not in use.
Most are spring-loaded and operated by a cord or pole: We pulled down the attic ladder to get the Christmas decorations.
