bookcase with rolling ladder
 

Anyone know where I can purchase such a unit?

I had seen it at IKEA years ago, but I dont think it is available anymore.

If you are talking about the lirary ladders, they can be purchased from Rockler
for aout $1100....that's right. I have been searching for the hardware to make
my own and after extensive googling, I cant find the pieces that make it work.

John,

I recall a website that had them as a project. I still have a printout of it
somewhere (?)... IIRC, it had links to the hardware. I'll do some research
for you.

cheers,

Greg

Putnum Rolling Lader, Alaco Ladder Company or Rocklers.

These guys make commercial quality rolling ladders for libraries,
etc.. Some of them are BEAUTIFUL!

Phone companies have 75 year old oak rolling ladders these folks made
that still look good, even with daily abuse.

I've never seen complete units advertised before, but ladders
are definitely not cheap by themselves. These 2 links are
from my bookmarks:

You can find a rolling library ladder at Rockler, probably other
sources as well. Useable with just about ANY bookcase(s)

My choice would be to build the bookcases on a custom basis and add
the Rockler rolling library ladder

Not sure where you are located or if you are looking to purchase an
entire unit or just the ladder. There is a company called Neoset which
makes modular funiture similar to IKEA stuff (but slightly better IMHO).

They sell a library wall unit which has a rolling ladder. I saw it in a
store here in Toronto and it looks very nice. Here's a link:

One of the pictures in the bottoom row shows the unit with the ladder.

You have different options regarding the colour and finishes.

Not sure if this is good for you, but just FYI.
