yes there is a rating system type III being the low end thru II, I, IA, IAA. If your not sure of the rating of your ladder use common sense if it doesn't feel right dont use it.
The maximum recommended weight for a normal loft ladder is 150 kg. Bear in mind that, as with any ladder, if you are carrying things up or down, the maximum weight includes any additional items and weight.
When a person climbs a ladder, his muscles provide the energy (work) to raise the person's weight from the ground to the top of the ladder. When the person climbs a ladder carrying a load in addition to his body, his muscles provide the energy (work) to raise his weight from the ground to the top of the ladder, plus the additional energy (work) to raise the load from the ground to the top of the ladder. The more weight goes up the ladder, the more work is done. Of that you can be positive.
Timber Loft Ladder can usually cope with a maximum of 150kg on them. Aluminium ladders are are to support more as they are made from a strong and sturdy material.
How to fold or retract it, the maximum weight it can hold, which side is the top, and probably a general safety warning
To determine the maximum length a 95 kg person can climb up a 10 m ladder resting against a frictionless wall, we need to consider the forces acting on the ladder. The static friction force at the base of the ladder must be sufficient to counteract the moment created by the person's weight. Given the static friction coefficient of 0.40 with a total weight of the ladder and person, we can calculate the critical point where the ladder begins to slip. The maximum distance the person can climb before the ladder slips is approximately 4.19 m from the base, taking into account the ladder's angle and the distribution of forces.
To calculate the total weight of a ladder, you first need to determine the weight of the materials used in its construction, typically aluminum, fiberglass, or wood. Measure the dimensions of the ladder and use the density of the material to find its weight. Additionally, if the ladder has any accessories or components (like rungs or brackets), include their weights as well. Finally, sum these weights to get the total weight of the ladder.
The work done by a 70kg person climbing a ladder depends on the height of the ladder, but can be calculated using the formula work = force x distance. The force is the person's weight (70kg x 9.8m/s^2) and the distance is the height of the ladder.
Alum,
To measure for an attic ladder, first determine the ceiling height and the rough opening size in the attic floor. Measure the width and length of the attic opening to ensure the ladder will fit properly. Additionally, consider the weight capacity and type of ladder that will work best for your space.

There is a maximum weight limit for parachuting. The maximum weight limit for tandem students is 220 lbs., and the maximum weight limit for AFF students is 240 lbs.
