The existing loft ladder is a flimsy affair. I intend to replace it with
a cascading section staircase such as a Ramsey.

At first I will need to get a substantial number of floor-boards (600 x
2400 x 18mm) up there. My original plan was to lay them one at a time on
the "staircase" and gradually push them up until they tip into the loft.

What would make it easier woud be if I could install a pair of pulleys
with ratchets, so that I could haul up each bpard without fearing to let
go.

I have seen what looks like something almost suitable on Amazon.

"(2) Pack 1/8 inch Rope Pulley Ratchet Hangers, Convenient Adjustable
Reinforced Metal Internal Gears, 6.5-ft Long & 105lbs Weight Grow Light

The problem is that at 6.5ft the cord is too short if the mounting point
is some way away.

Am I approaching the problem in too simpolistic a way?

TIA








I use an electric one.....much better...go to 2.31 to see it
