loft ladder

Foldable attic access

A loft ladder is a retractable or foldable ladder that provides access to a loft or attic space.

Unlike fixed staircases, loft ladders fold away when not in use, typically storing flush against the ceiling or within the loft hatch.

Most pull down on a hinge mechanism: He unfolded the loft ladder to get the Christmas decorations.
