Whether you’re trimming trees and hedges, getting creative with topiary or simply carrying out essential home maintenance like cleaning the guttering, you can work worry and wobble-free thanks to our new tripod ladder range. These new features are based on feedback and insights collected from customers on our previous ladders, as well as an evolved approach to structural engineering.
Please note that if you’re planning to use your tripod ladder every day, then our Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder PRO is what you need. If the surface you’re working on is flat or only slightly sloping, then we recommend using our 1-Leg Adjustable Tripod Ladder. If you’re unsure of which you need, try our Find a Ladder tool.
Redesigned to give you even more adjustability, usability and stability, the Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder features three independently manoeuvrable legs for use on any terrain. The extra rigidity on our new models keeps you safe whatever job you’re tackling.
Suitable for both outside and indoor use, each leg is independently adjustable to accommodate sloping surfaces, soft earth, and even stairways and steps, making jobs in tricky terrains a breeze. In fact, our tripod ladders can cope with level changes of up to 80% more than other tripod ladders on the market, so no task is out of reach.
Available in 5ft, 6ft, 8ft, 10ft and 12ft models, you can get to those hard-to-reach branches, greenhouse roofs and guttering so that every job is completed with ease. Its claw-like feet provide a solid grip into soft ground, so that you can complete tasks safely and securely come rain or shine.
We know that comfort and control are key when working at height. That’s why the 3-adjustable leg tripod ladder features a generous 18cm platform and increased guardrail height to give you plenty of space and support to work safely.
Simply place your feet firmly on the platform rung and tuck your knees into the frame, while leaning your body against the hip-height guard rail. This allows you to work in a secure position while providing increased comfort, greater freedom and more control.
Designed with your safety in mind, our Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder features our new hedge-proof locking pin. To ensures that each leg is securely fixed in place without the risk of becoming dislodged by shrubbery or branches.
To adjust the legs, simply twist to release the handle, then pull to unlock the pin. When the handle is released, it will click back into place. When the handle is back in its closed position, the ladder legs are locked and ready to support you as you work.
Our new tripod range is certified to EN131 - the only tripods on the market in the UK and EU. This means that Henchman ladders go through rigorous testing to meet the standards of The British Standards Institution (BSI). Our ladders are tested by an independent third party, checking their stability, grip, dimensions, labelling and their 150kg working load.
When it comes to EN131 standards, you may see phrases like ‘conforms’, ‘tested’ or ‘built to’ EN131. However, these terms can suggest that the ladder is not fully tested - it could have the right dimensions but the working load may not have been safety tested, for example.
Our Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder meets the full specification, meaning you can be confident that your Henchman will keep you safe.
If unsure about the quality of a ladder, the EN131 certificate should be available to the public and can be shown to you when asked. Find out more about EN131 ladder standards.
The ladder’s three legs adjust independently to accommodate uneven surfaces, slopes and steps. Secured with our new hedge-proof locking pin to give fast and ergonomic adjustment, whilst designed to prevent the pin becoming dislodged by shrubbery or branches.
The built in working platform allows you to tuck your knees into the frame for extra stability, allowing you to use both hands safely as you work. The increased guard rail height gives even more stability than before.
Professional level safety for all. Tested by British Standards Institution (BSI) and fully certified to BS EN131 with the trusted Kitemark.
The Henchman 3-Leg Adjustable Tripod Platform Ladder is designed to keep you safe during a wide variety of garden and DIY projects, including:
It’s important to know the height of which you’ll be working at, before ordering your tripod ladder. For example, if you’re going to use your ladder for hedge cutting, then first measure the hedge, so you know what you need.
Note that, when we talk about ladder sizes, we’re referring to the bottom of the ladder to the top when fully extended.
The platform rung on our 3 legged ladder is 3ft/0.9cm from the top. This means that, when standing on the platform, the top of the ladder is level with your waist. For example, on a 6ft / 1.8m ladder, your waist is 6ft / 1.8m from the ground.
We recommend working between shoulder and waist height. As your shoulders are usually around 2ft/60cm higher than your waist, this gives you a working height range of 6-8ft/1.8-2.4m, from shoulder to waist.
If you’re going to be working between 6-8ft, our 6.8/1.8m ladder will do the job perfectly.
Our 3 adjustable leg tripod range starts at 6ft, with our largest ladder being 16ft. With this ladder, you’re standing 13ft from the ground.
Heights are with extendable legs retracted, based on a 6ft / 1.8m person, and will vary depending on user and tools.
| Ladder Size | Platform Height | Hip Level | Reaching Overhead | Ladder Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5ft / 1.5m | 2ft / 0.6m | 5ft / 1.5m | 9ft / 2.7m | 7kg |
| 6ft / 1.8m | 3ft / 0.9m | 6ft / 1.8m | 10ft / 3.0m | 8kg |
| 8ft / 2.4m | 5ft / 1.5m | 8ft / 2.4m | 12ft / 3.6m | 10kg |
| 10ft / 3m | 7ft / 2.1m | 10ft / 3m | 14ft / 4.2m | 12kg |
| 12ft / 3.6m | 9ft / 2.7m | 12ft / 3.6m | 16ft / 4.8m | 14kg |
All sizes provided are with the extendable legs fully retracted.
To avoid ordering the wrong sized ladder, it’s important you know exactly how high you need to reach before you order.
For example, if you’re using your ladder to trim hedges, we suggest picking one that’s more or less the same height as that hedge. Measuring the hedge height before you order will ensure you choose the right size.
