Les échelles pliantes sont des échelles simples souvent utilisées pour atteindre un grenier par l'intérieur. Les échelons des échelles pliantes sont articulés de sorte que les montants puissent se rabattre l'un contre l'autre, ce qui permet de faire passer l'échelle dans un passage étroit ou tout autre endroit exigu.
