Determine Your Vertical Track Height

This is the most critical measurement. You need to determine exactly where on the wall your track will be mounted. Measure from the floor to the point where you want the center of the rolling track to be. Be sure to account for any crown molding or trim. This single measurement is the foundation for determining the size of the ladder you'll need, so double-check it for accuracy.

Measure the Horizontal Track Run

Next, figure out how long your track needs to be. Measure the horizontal distance you want the ladder to travel along the wall or shelving unit. Will it span a single bookcase or an entire wall? Consider where you want the ladder to rest when not in use. This total length will be your track run.

Account for Stowing and Obstacles

Finally, think about clearance. When your rolling library ladder is not in use, you'll likely want it stowed vertically against the wall or shelving. Make sure there is enough space for it to rest in this position without blocking doorways, windows, or furniture. Also, check for any obstacles like light fixtures or outlets that could interfere with the ladder's movement along the track.
