The Elite (Also known as Model B concertina loft ladder) is manufactured from the same high strength die-cast aluminium alloy components as the Supreme stairway, but instead of being supplied with a trapdoor and lining, it would be attached to a laminated wood backboard (580 mm wide x 200 mm deep x 18 mm thick when used with the 350mm wide treads) for fitting to a vertical surface.

The overall width of the actual ladder unit measured from the outside edges of the plastic spring covers is 575mm.

The standard tread width is 350 mm ( x 140 mm deep) though other widths are available as a special order. This stairway is supplied with two heavy duty counter-balanced springs incorporated into pivot brackets to ensure that it can be raised and lowered with a minimum of effort.
