Stop Struggling with Heavy Attic Access – There’s a Better Way

Climbing up to your attic shouldn’t feel like a balancing act—or a workout. Struggling with bulky ladders or unsafe steps puts you and your team at risk, especially in high-ceiling environments. The Automatic Super Simplex solves that problem with a ceiling-mounted design that opens vertically at the push of a button, giving you smooth, secure access without the hassle.

Choose from two models to match your needs: the S3000 Series, which features a semi-automatic system where the door opens and closes automatically while the stair sections are manually operated, or the S4000 Series, which offers a fully automated experience from start to finish.

Built by Precision Ladders, a trusted U.S. manufacturer known for commercial-grade access solutions, the Automatic Super Simplex delivers dependable performance backed by proven engineering.

Perfect for Professionals Who Rely on Safe, Seamless Attic Access

Contractors & Facility Managers: Streamline inspections and maintenance in commercial buildings without the hassle of manual ladders.

Warehouse Operators: Safely access mezzanines or storage lofts with minimal downtime and maximum efficiency.

Property Owners: Ideal for buildings with high ceilings where a permanent ladder would be intrusive or impractical.

Maintenance Teams: Gain quick, secure access to overhead equipment or utility spaces with the touch of a button.

Architects & Designers: A sleek, concealed access solution that fits seamlessly into modern building plans.

This ladder is built for anyone who values convenience, safety, and a clean ceiling aesthetic.

Proudly Made in the USA

All Precision Ladders products are proudly made in the USA using premium materials and expert craftsmanship. Specializing in commercial-grade aluminum and steel access solutions, the company supports American manufacturing while delivering reliable, code-compliant ladders and stair systems built for safety, performance, and longevity.

Features & Benefits

Hands-Free Operation: Opens and closes with a button—no climbing, pulling, or awkward setup required.

Built for Daily Use: Designed for commercial and high-traffic settings, unlike cheaper ladders that wear down quickly.

Clean, Ceiling-Flushed Design: Folds vertically into the ceiling for a tidy, professional look.

Safer Access Every Time: Stable, engineered construction reduces the risk of slips or falls.

Long-Term Value: Fewer repairs, less maintenance, and a longer lifespan compared to budget alternatives.

Trusted Brand: Made by Precision Ladders, a manufacturer known for quality commercial-grade access systems.

Step-by-Step Installation for a Clean, Professional Finish

The Automatic Super Simplex installation manual outlines a straightforward setup process designed for commercial and residential spaces with high ceilings. The unit features a ceiling-mounted, vertically folding design that integrates cleanly into your structure. Installation begins with securely anchoring the frame to structural ceiling supports using heavy-duty brackets, ensuring long-term stability and performance.

Much like installing a recessed lighting fixture or attic access door, this system requires careful alignment and basic tools. The guide includes clear diagrams and step-by-step instructions to help you plan your layout and complete the installation with confidence—whether you're working with open joists or finished ceilings.

Engineered for both ease and precision, the Automatic Super Simplex is built to deliver seamless access with a professional-grade finish.
