loft ladder?

Hi. I need to fit a loft ladder. Im also about to floor my loft which requires the use of stilts to accommodate insulation. My issue and question - the ladder fits to the loft floor anf hatch opening. Im conserned the raised/stilt floor wher the ladder will attch to will not be strong enough. I was thinking of removing 1 of 2 layers for where the ladder will sit, flooring this, and fitting ladder to floor.

Is this viable? Has anyone fitted a loft ladder to a loft with stilted flooring, how did you tackle it? Cheers

    install the electrical fittings for the ceiling below the loft and then do the under part ceiling and then insulate and then install the flooring of the loft == do you plan to use it for storage or a bedroom ??? == buy a stairs unit that folds and raises into the attic//loft == or == build proper stairs ....
