Full Product Overview
The Dolle Allufix Concertina Loft Ladder is an aluminium concertina ladder designed for compact loft access where traditional loft ladders are unsuitable due to limited loft clearance or small hatch size requirements. The ladder’s accordion folding structure expands down from the loft hatch and collapses back to sit within the frame when not in use, making it ideal for narrow loft openings and restricted spaces.
Constructed from high-quality extruded aluminium alloy, it combines lightweight performance with strong build quality for secure access, and its deep 78 mm treads provide a confident foothold as you climb. The ladder is supplied with spring-controlled suspension for smooth opening and secure closure.
Suitable for floor-to-ceiling heights up to around 2.96 m, and available in 9, 10 or 11 tread versions to match your specific height range, the Allufix is a practical solution for a variety of loft access applications.

Deep 78 mm tread profile for stable footing.
Spring-controlled mechanism for ease of use and positive storage.
Suitable for small loft openings (450 mm × 550 mm minimum).
Maximum load rating of 100 kg for everyday loft access.
Final Verdict
If you’re looking for a compact, easy-to-install loft ladder that folds neatly into the hatch and allows access in tight spaces, the Dolle Allufix Concertina Loft Ladder delivers strong practicality and durability. Its range of sizes makes it suitable for loft heights from 2.19 m up to 2.96 m, and its design works well in locations where a traditional sliding or folding ladder would be difficult to fit.
Whether used in a domestic attic or small mezzanine space, this ladder provides a comfortable, secure climb with minimal impact on loft space.
Will this ladder take up a lot of storage space?
One of the greatest benefits of the Dolle Allufix Concertina Wide Tread Loft Ladder is that the unit stores completely within the hatch space. When not in use, the ladder folds up and is stored completely on top of the hatch, meaning that you don’t have to create any additional space in your attic for ladder storage. If you have very limited storage space, this is the space-efficient loft ladder solution you’ve been looking for.
