Since the 1940’s, Precision Ladders has been producing superior, commercial grade, industrial strength access products. Precision specializes in light-weight, low maintenance, and high strength aluminum products. While these products may be more familiar in commercial & industrial applications, they are also very common in many residential applications (both single and multi-family). These products are customized for the job requirements and always built to comply with the appropriate OSHA Code and/or ANSI Safety Standard.
Automatic Electric Disappearing Stair
Precision offers the best automatic stairway on the market. In the open position, it is as sturdy as any fixed stair and just as easy to climb with it’s 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 Auto Electric Stairway can be opened or closed with a simple toggle switch. It can be equipped with a key operated switch where security is important. These stairs can be fabricated with a custom frame to accommodate dropped ceilings. A warning buzzer to sound when the stairway is in motion is also an option. Standard on every Auto Electric Stairway is a battery backup power which allows the stair to be opened in the event of a power outage.
Important Features:
– Frame formed from 1/8″ steel sheet
– Meets ANSI A14.9-2004 for Commercial or Residential use
– Treads have self-adhesive, anti-slip “Flex Tread”
Automatic Super Simplex Folding Stair

Fixed Aluminum Wall Ladders
Precision offers a complete line of aluminum wall ladders, custom fabricated to to exact field measurements. Precision Ladder treads are a 2-1/4″ in width and they are deeply serrated to maximize traction. These ladders have been thoroughly tested for strength, and are able to withstand a 1500 lb load without failure. Individual treads are attached to siderails using 4 rivits rated at 1100 lbs sheer strength each, and have been tested to 3000 lbs without deformation. Additionally, all edges on the siderails and treads have been rounded to provide a more comfortable, powerful grip for the hands. Ladders in excess of 24 ft in length must be equipped with a personal fall arrest system, ladder safety system, cage or well.
Options Include:
– Security door with piano hinge and pad lock provision
– Floor brackets with pre-drilled holes for attaching ladders to the floor
– Safety pole Fall Prevention Systems
– Anodized or powdercoat finish
Fixed Industrial Stair
The two most important features of Precision’s PS Series Industrial Stairs are easy installation and no maintenance. The much lighter weight of these units as compared to traditional steel ones make them much easier to install, and the aluminum construction also makes them virtually maintenance free. Industrial Stairs have a climbing angle of 30-50 degrees, which means the climber can carry such items as tool boxes, equipment, supplies, etc., while accessing mezzanines, catwalks, or roof hatches and still comply with safety standards. These stairways are built per job conditions and shipped to the job site ready to be installed.
Important Features:
– All components shall be aluminum alloy 6000 (6005-T5 typical)
– Fully welded construction throughout
– Treads are aluminum bar grating (standard), both welded and bolted to stringer to withstand a minimum 1000 lb loading per tread
– Mill finish aluminum
Options Include:
– Wider stairs, up to 56″ clear width maximum
– Powdercoat or anodized finish
– Anti-slip plate treads
– Special Applications: “crossover” or “bridge” stairs, landing platforms, catwalks
Aluminum Ships Ladders
Like the Fixed Industrial Stair, the two most important features of Precision’s Ships Stairs are easy installation and no maintenance. The relative weight of these units compared to a steel unit makes it a breeze to install and as with the FL Series Ladders, it’s aluminum construction also makes it virtually maintenance free. A ships stair is an ideal solution for mezzanine access, or when paired with a Precision Roof Hatch, for roof access from interior of building. Ships Stairs have deeply serrated treads for maximum traction.
Important Features:
– All components shall be aluminum alloy 6000 (6005-T5 typical)
– Fully welded construction throughout
– Treads are aluminum bar grating (standard), both welded and bolted to stringer to withstand a minimum 1000 lb loading per tread
– Mill finish aluminum
Options Include:
– Wider tread widths, up to 48″ maximum
– Powdercoat or anodized finish
– Bar grating treads
– 42″ handrail extension for accessing platforms, landings, or elevated work spaces
Roof Hatches
All Precision Roof Hatches are fabricated of heavy gauge steel or aluminum propwerly finished to withstand rough handling and exposure to the elements. Insulation in the cover and curb minimizes the effects on the building’s HVAC system. A rubber gasket, in it’s own formed track, tightly seals the lid against the curb, making the unit weather tight. The cover is devoid of all hardware except for the handle, negating areas where corrosion and rust can form. All hatches are provided with padlock provisions both internally and externally. Hatches of length 4′-6″ or less are equipped with a 1-point zinc-plated cablock and and hatch longer than this are equipped with a 2-point cablock. Each roof hatch is tested in the plant to assure smooth opening and closing with one hand. When the length of a hatch reaches 5′-5″ or longer, a 2-point slam-lock is used.
