Help.
In the middle of ongoing construction, it is discovered that the attic hatches that were delivered will not work. There is nothing wrong with them, but the ladder extends too far outside the hatch, so the hatches must be placed in disadvantageous locations (yes, we have two).
Does anyone know of any hatches where the ladder extends more or less straight down?

Looking at the technical description of the hatches from Midmade, you can see that the ladder does not remain exactly under the hatch's opening.
Still, more space is needed when unfolding the ladder. Feel free to look in the file http://www.midmade.com/pdf/ProdbeskrivningLEX7060.pdf. There's a nice sketch on page two.

Ceiling height 240 cm, which means that when the ladder is fully extended, it requires 156 cm in space measured from the opposite short side of the attic hatch.
This may force us to place the hatches in unfavorable locations in the layout, and therefore I am curious if there are any tips on whether there are hatches with ladders that go straight down or at least more or less straight down.

The house we live in now has an attic hatch with a ladder that almost goes straight down. But it's a Gullringshus built in '91, not sure what brand it is, it just says Gullringshus.
It reminds me of the one you had in the attachment, the first staircase folds out the same way.
But of course, if you want a steeper one, you might have to get a rope ladder or build your own ladder
Tricky when things don't turn out as planned. :-/

It might be possible to solve with a telescopic ladder instead of a folding ladder.
@Faidros
Yes, I saw that. However, it turned out after a visit to the construction site that it is not a ladder from the house supplier's standard range, so the figures in the document I refer to do not match. The ladder was, however, quite similar.
@MathiasS
The sketch matches that ladder, but it turned out not to be the one delivered, though it was quite similar. After control measurements, we concluded that the steep slope allows the folding ladder to fit in its extended position in one of the more suitable locations, but it's probably not possible to unfold the ladder without hitting a wall. We'll try to switch to a telescopic ladder instead of a folding ladder.
Thank you for the good advice, you can read about how this story ends in our blog.
