Get Function And Style With A Rolling Ladder

The rolling ladder is the marriage of beauty and function. The majority of rolling ladders are made of wood, more specifically, oak wood. They are also available in other types of wood including ash, maple, Honduras mahogany, birch, and cherry. As these woods aren't as common as oak, they command a premium price. But generally speaking, all rolling ladders are made of the finest grade red oak with the very best varnish available.

The rolling ladder is usually used for household purposes, but it is also sometimes used as a fashion article too. The beauty and grace with a touch of authentic flavor that the rolling ladders exude is typically unmatched. The rolling ladder isn't just a pretty face as it still maintains the characteristics of the industrial utility. The steps of the rolling ladder are "screwed to rails, not nailed, and rods are placed under each step, for greater strength".

The most common finish of a rolling ladder is an oak finish.

This is what the dealers had to say about the rolling ladder's features, "The top slide feature, available in either roll type (No. 210) or hook slide, (No. 230) permits the rolling ladder to be pulled out for use or pushed back against shelves to conserve space. The roll type top fixture (No. 210) is for a ladder permanently attached to the track. The hook slide top fixture (No. 230) is used when a ladder needs to be removed from one section of track to another.

The ladder rolls easily on bottom fixtures (no. 270). Also available is an old style malleable iron bottom fixture (No. 270 old style) for a more antique look."

Rolling ladders can be custom made, but here are the average measurements for a rolling ladder.

Height: as required (7" clearance above the track is required)
Steps: 4-1/4" deep (see figure 1)
Side rails: 3-1/4" deep
Outside width: 16"
