What is the purpose of the additional Flex DSS DS-3 step?

The additional Flex DSS DS-3 step is designed for compatible attic ladders with a metal accordion-type structure. OMAN states that it extends the ladder to a maximum height of 310 cm. This does not mean automatic compatibility with every Flex model. Before ordering, the exact model, the width and length of the box, and whether the technical chart allows DS-3 for the specific configuration must be checked.

When is the Flex 260 mm step chosen and when the 360 mm option?

The size is determined by the width of the box. According to the catalog, the 260 mm option is for a box width of 50 cm, while the 360 mm is for widths over 50 cm. The same division is reflected in the product options in LATIVA. The choice should not be based solely on the free space in the room, as the step must correspond to the geometry of the specific Flex ladder.

Is there a minimum box length for installing the DSS DS-3?

The minimum length is 80 cm. OMAN notes that the additional Flex step DSS DS-3 is incompatible with boxes where dimension A is below this value. This restriction applies separately from the choice of width 50, 60, or 70 cm. Therefore, both box dimensions must be verified. An option with the correct width is still unsuitable if its length is below the specified minimum.

With which OMAN Flex ladders is the additional step used?

The technical matrix allows DSS DS-3 for Flex Termo and compatible wider configurations of Flex Termo Metalbox, while incompatibility is noted for Flex Polar. For Long Flex Termo, the step is shown as part of the equipment. Since compatibility also depends on dimensions, the name Flex alone is not sufficient. The exact model and box must be checked before adding to the order.

What is the difference between the Flex step DSS DS-3 and the DSS DS-2 step?

DSS DS-3 is designed for the metal accordion-type ladder and is chosen according to the width of the box. DSS DS-2 is a different accessory that is mounted on a wooden box with a minimum height of 170 mm and has a size of 310 mm for MINI or 330 mm for other compatible models. The two products are not interchangeable because they have different construction, mounting location, and compatibility rules.

Does the DSS DS-3 change the allowable load of the attic ladder?

The catalog defines DSS DS-3 as an additional step and does not assign it a separate higher load capacity. Therefore, after installation, the maximum load of the specific attic ladder remains valid, for example, 160 kg for the described Flex models. The accessory should not be used to compensate for inappropriate height, wrong box, or incomplete unfolding. Compatibility and installation must be checked according to the model documentation.
