Manufactured from light-weight, durable aluminium components, the Piccolo is easy to operate. Capable of supporting loads of 150 kg per step and tested to BS EN 14975.

Quality assurance
The Piccolo concertina loft ladder is manufactured and tested in accordance with BS EN 14975. It is also supplied with a 2-year full warranty and 10-year parts warranty.
Not quite what you are looking for?
If the Piccolo is not quite what you are looking for, why not consider the Piccolo Premium loft ladder? The Piccolo Premium is also designed for small loft openings and offers the same benefits as the Piccolo. However, it also features a counterbalanced spring-mechanism, therefore making it even easier to operate.
Another concertina loft ladder is the Ecco (pictured here). This features the same lightweight and strong aluminium components as the Piccolo, but is supplied with an insulated and airtight loft hatch. The Ecco concertina loft ladder therefore offers good thermal efficiency. For improved aesthetics and to help reduce the need for additional painting, the hatch is supplied with a white finish with concealed hinges.
