Is this a vertical ladder, or does it mount at an angle/slant? Any suggestions on a vertical model if it is at a slant? Thanks!

Yes it is. It comes with additional hardware to mount the ladder with attached hooks.

It needs a slant in my application, which is latched at the top with the bottom resting on the floor. For a vertical mounting of this or any other ladder, you must find a very secure method to mount it at both top and bottom. This one is good for 300 lbs.

I bought it to mount at a slant and it works fine. I suppose it could be mounted vertically if you cut it to the needed length and made sure it was properly mounted.

Mounting brackets have a slight bend, but it wouldn't take much to straighten them out. I'd say it could be mounted either way. After shortening, ours is almost vertical.

I am using it for a very long step ladder. Both ends are secured to studs. The top of the step ladder goes against the wall (U shaped mount) and the base of the ladder goes on the pulley end.

Just under 4 ft maximum. Theoretically you could angle the vertical legs and make that lower, but I would guess the safe max weight on the ladder will be lower.

It is as is seen in the picture. It is a one-sided ladder that mounts to the pool rails or deck.

I see that the pictures of the bed in white do show it with both the straight and slanted ladder. Weird. I have the blue and the ladder is straight.

It's stands completely vertical, in other words not angled. The only way to angle is to rest the back on something else. Either way works.

System came with two mounting brackets and one leveler. Mounting bracket permanently attach to ladder but leveler piece snaps into either side of ladder depending on terrain slope. So you would have to buy extra mounting brackets for more ladders.

If I recall it's a standard tripod mount, the same that a camera uses. That said you can screw the magnet strip that comes with the level into a piece of wood, clamp the wood to a ladder and use that just as well

Hi Susan. Sorry for the delay...I was waiting for an answer from Craftmade! The unit is partially open on the ends...(top and bottom) and it can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Happy New Year!!

The device is attached to the opposite end of the ladder while you are holding the other end. The wheels helped you maneuver the ladder on the roof to move it where ever you wanted to locate the ladder. Once you have the ladder on the desired location, you can flip the ladder over and the hooks will anchor the ladder don't the peaked roof.

I mounted mine close to the bottom of the ladder. Pick a spot where the bolts will not create any weak points on the ladder and make sure no hole is drilled too close to the bottom, I just went out and measured, my lowest hole was 4.25 inches from the bottom of the ladder. Also, I shimmed the leveler bases about 7/16th inch with aluminum shims to keep the levelers from touching the swivel grips at the bottom of the ladder. My ladder is a 28 foot werner (225 pound load rated) about 10 years or more old. Recommend you test fit all the pieces to guarantee good operation before drilling. My extensions work well. I jut bought a 36 foot Werner 225 pound load and expect to get another set of mounts for this ladder too.

My opinion would be no to a typical stepladder that is designed to be climbed from one side. The rear spreader supports of this type of ladder are not designed for weight bearing. An A-Frame or articulated type ladder that is designed to be climbed from either side might be fine if the clamps on the roof bracket fit on the ladder rungs securely. Roger C.

The ladder is not attached, it leans against the beds. When my daughter wants to use all 3 beds, she simply moves the ladder to the end.

I have it hung vertically and it works great. If you want to see it working, I'll be posting pictures when I post my review (I'll post it in the next couple days).

I have mine at an angle. It works fine. It swings. As long at the wall where you mount it is flat the angle does not matter.

We mounted this on the left side next to our toilet. I would not recommend installing it vertically. The mounting brackets are fantastic. My husband is a large man and it is VERY secure. We have bracket mounted into a stud and the right one into just drywall and it is extremely sturdy.

It can be mounted vertical but towards the bottom. It works by heating the air, witch circulates it.
