Rolling Ladders – Ascenda Joinery

We design and manufacture precisely-engineered systems which comprise a ladder securely attached to a rail which can be rolled along to where access is needed. Not only are they functional, strong and easy to use, they are attractive too and will enhance any setting.

There’s a wide and flexible range of options – for the ladders themselves, the rails, the finishes and the treads – so you can choose what will work for your particular location.

Today our rolling ladder systems are used successfully in many locations throughout the UK, from contemporary city centre cocktail bars to traditional panelled libraries, wherever space needs to be maximised and accessible.

No two settings are the same and that’s why we offer a wide range of options when it comes to our rolling ladder systems. Each one is created specifically to meet the individual requirements of the brief, with choices including the wood itself through to the finish, the track and the treads.

Each system comprises a number of different components – a track, a ladder bar, a chassis, an end stop and a hook, together with ladder stiles and treads.

Choose from a range of materials, finishes and combinations

Our commitment to the environment means that we use only the finest woods certificated by the FSC – typically redwood, oak, ash, walnut and poplar.

However we can also work with others such as maple, cherry, exotic woods sourced from other countries or even recycled timber supplied by our customer.

Wood isn’t the only material – we can make ladders from metal for a more contemporary feel. Handrails in the same or contrasting material are an option.

When it comes to the choice of finish, you can select from clear lacquer, oiled, stained or painted and even match existing woods by using a stain or lacquer on more cost-effective timber.

And with the ladder treads themselves, there are additional features to maximise practicality or safety such as beaded grooves, stainless steel inserts or rubber grips – or even contrasting timber inlays for aesthetic interest.

Choose from a range of tracks and rails

For the tracks, there are two main metal styles: anodised aluminium or stainless steel, as well as wooden options. Excellent functionality and smooth running is ensured with the use of

industrial nylon ball bearings and when the ladder is not in use, it stores compactly and vertically at one end of the track ready for access when needed.
