Case Studies
Secure Plant Room Access
Metcraft Engineering contacted Premier Loft Ladders looking for a way to access to a lift motor room on a multi-story car park. Access was through a large ceiling aperture, measuring 1200mm x 1200mm. Being in a public space, security was a big concern. The solution was a heavy duty steel hatch with concertina ladder.
