Description: Precision Ladders offers the best automatic retractable stairway on the market. In the open position, it is as sturdy as any fixed stair and just as easy to climb with its 52 degree pitch. This unit can handle a 1000 lb. load without failure or deformation of treads. It is constructed of one-piece siderails of 7" x .230" aluminum channel and treads of 6" x .225" aluminum channel. The Automatic Electric Stairway can be opened or closed with a simple toggle switch. The unit can be supplied with a key operated switch in areas where security is important. As with the Super Simplex, these units can be fabricated with a custom frame to accommodate dropped ceilings. Other optional equipment include a warning buzzer to sound when the stairway is in motion, emergency manual operation or battery back-up to lower the unit from above and/or below.
