My ceiling is 7'4". could I macgiver this ladder by cutting it and perhaps drilling new holes to shorten it from its 7'9" minimum specification?

the last part of the ladder is made with 3 to 4 hole to adjust the heigh to make it shorter or longer should work

It will work only if you change the chains that hold the rack. We have a 9' ceiling and we installed it and it was too high. Went to Home Depot and bought some chrome/zinc chain that was a pretty good match for the original and cut 4 pieces to proper length.

Should be able to go right to the base on the ceiling. We made ours shorter too

I would say no, it will not work. The foot pedal at its highest point is almost 19 inches off the floor. Add a person 70 inches tall,, that equals 89 inches. If the ceiling is truly 7 feet/84 inches, then you need 5 more inches for clearance. Or you could lean forward a little, but probably not the best idea.

probably not unless you add some chain to it. the chain that comes with it is about 7 feet, the hanger adds another 4 inches and a 1x6 beam adds another 5 1/2 inches and you want it about 15 inches off the ground (standard seating height) making it about 9 1/2 feet. but I'm sure you could figure out something. actually if you contact the guy who makes it I'm sure he would add the extra length for you, since he does all the cuts himself. No matter what it's worth it. I use mine everyday and don.t know what I did before I got it.

No its not. I too am 6' tall and have ceilings about 12' and own an 8 ft. Cosco ladder. It is too small to give you a stable base to change lightbulbs. You can do it but it is scary. There is another German ladder company that escapes me at the moment that make a lightweight ladder similar to Cosco and it also is cheaper, you can get a model of it that will do the job. I don't remember the manufacturer's name but if you care to send me your email I will be home on the 29th of January and will check it out and email to you. PTLFA@AOL.COM

You can remove legs and it will fit. Perhaps suspend it from your ceiling without the legs to fit in you 7ft room

I don't think it should matter on the height of the ladder. My husband uses his on a 7' one but there is plenty of clearance. He did, however, have to make a couple of adjustments when installing it.. Glad we got it!

You need a medium, with the "angle out" it will work perfectly @ 46". If you dont like it you can always cut it down at the foot of the ladder.

Although I'm very happy with this ladder, it sounds like it would be a bit too short for your intended purpose.

I think maybe you could cut out panels in the top and replace with mesh. However, you should look at the top and when you set it up because it really isn't a very large ceiling.

You will have to purchase longer chain to suit your ceiling. We have a 12 foot ceiling.

No..not designed to anyway. I'm sure MacGyver could work it out :-) The blades have a 2" rise or curve to them. Using the supplied 6" rod..my blades are 6" from my ceiling...looks great on my 8 foot ceiling.

I have the M22 ladder. In the reduced (collapsed) A frame position, it is slightly shorter than my height, which is 6 foot. This is an excellent ladder, great for 10 foot ceilings.

No the holes come predrilled and the ladder slightly sticks out. There is no way to change it and make it straight.

Hi Steve, You would be better off with a smaller unit. Honestly, we had issues with this particular unit on one of our recent installations. Look at some of the other smaller units as they are better fit to accommodate your 7' ceiling height.
