Henchman Podium Step launched successfully at Interbuild 2008
Article date: 12 November 2008
Bringing its unique benefits for the first time to the trade and industrial markets, Henchman exceeded its own expectations at the Interbuild Show at the NEC in October.
The Henchman Podium Step is a platform for working at height safely that offers users two distinct and unique benefits while meeting the regulatory requirements of current legislation.
Firstly, with individual leg and wide foot adjustments, the Henchman podium platform is always level and stable on broken, uneven and sloping ground, on steps and curbs, across trenches and on soft surfaces. Secondly, with five models in the range, and each model with an extender offering a platform height adjustment of 1.51m, Henchman believes it offers not only greater flexibility of working height but also a higher maximum platform height (3.64m) than any other podium step on the market.
Henchman brings both these benefits from its 15 years experience and dominant position in the horticulture market where over 20,000 Henchman platforms are in use primarily for hedge cutting and tree pruning.
Said Tom Kitching, Managing Director, post show, "It is clear to us that there is a substantial market for the Henchman Podium Steps’ unique user benefits in so many industrial applications, where the user needs not only to be safe working at height, but also really feel safe and in the knowledge that his platform accords to the regulations. Both users and distributors were surprised to see we can solve these problems of working at height safely on difficult ground while retaining the quick flat folding for storage and transport. Our years of experience in the horticulture market are now embodied and enshrined in the Henchman Podium"
