Full Product Overview

The FAKRO LMF 120 Fire Resistant Metal Folding Loft Ladder is a specialist loft access solution designed to combine 120-minute fire resistance, a substantial 200 kg load capacity and comfortable everyday operation.

Its standout feature is the specially constructed fire-resistant hatch, designed to provide up to 120 minutes of fire protection. This makes the LMF 120 particularly suitable for installations where a high level of fire resistance is required at the loft opening.

Unlike conventional wooden loft ladders, the LMF 120 incorporates a robust three-section metal ladder and integrated steel frame, providing a durable access arrangement for demanding domestic and commercial applications.

The ladder features a quick-installation system built into the steel frame, helping simplify positioning and fitting within a suitable ceiling opening. Integrated architrave lining provides a neat finish around the installed hatch.

For easier everyday operation, a folding assistance mechanism concealed within the ladder rail helps reduce the effort required to fold and unfold the ladder.

The LMF 120 also incorporates an integrated handrail, non-slip metal treads and telescopic stile ends, providing additional support and stability during use.

The fire-resistant hatch contains 80 mm of insulation within an 82 mm thick panel, while two peripheral seals help limit unwanted airflow through the ceiling opening.

The design also provides a short distance between the uppermost tread and loft floor, helping make entry into and exit from the loft more convenient.

Available in eight hatch sizes and versions suitable for ceiling heights up to 2.80 m or 3.05 m, the FAKRO LMF 120 offers flexibility for different installation requirements.

With a 200 kg maximum permissible load, EN 14975 compliance and 120-minute fire resistance, it provides a practical combination of strength, fire protection and ease of use.
