Do you think these would work for hinge hardware?

Here is a diagram of the garage. I finally got the size of the picture somewhat usable. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/13/fc/fd/13fcfd3a8d3ea00d9e99019b8748657a.jpg

That's what I would have liked to do but I don't think I would have enough space for that without them being hinged stairs.

I don't want to connect a lift to the 22 gauge steel.

Any suggestions?

Sorry I meant the max length of the stairs fully extended could be 16ft. Meaning folded in half (8 ft). There are things above the garage door.

With my calculations stairs would end up being 9.5' rise for a 4.5' run and that's way to steep, with way to small of steps.

A spiral staircase will not work as the loft is "L Shaped" 16x12 and 4x12 with a 10ft wide Garage door.

They will be for access to the loft for carrying things going into storage in the loft. Only used occasionally.

I have a 16wx24lx17h steel building, made of 22 gauge Galvalium. I put a 16wx12ft long, 10ft high loft in it and need access to that loft. I have been looking around for ideas for stairs, the catch is I need foldable stairs that I can then hoist up out of the way. I have a maximum 16 ft run...

I was peaking through some post on the board and found some useful things. Always looking for suggestions on things.
