Key features of our trusted tripods

So why tripod ladders? And what makes a Henchman the right one for the job? And why are they used by organisations like the National Trust and the NHS? From their overall durability and versatility to the little details that enhance gardening and DIY jobs, your tripod will be your most trusted go-to equipment.

Hands-free safety

A wobble-free design, a built-in platform to stand on, and a waist-high guard rail all keep you safe at height. You can work hands-free while maintaining three points of contact with your ladder - essential when using gardening tools such as shears and hedge trimmers. Now with increased guard-rail height and frame rigidity, you’ll feel safer than ever before.

Stability on uneven ground

Our adjustable legs can be extended or retracted individually to keep your tripod ladder level, so you’ll always have a stable platform to work from. Unlike traditional ladders, ours come with wide clawed feet to prevent sinking into soft or sloping ground, providing that extra level of safety when working on complicated terrain.

Professional standards for everyone

Our tripod platform ladders have been awarded the British Standards Institution (BSI) trusted Kitemark, so you can be sure that our ladders are of the highest quality and deliver time and time again. For the BSI Kitemark certification, we passed the safety standard EN131 and two quality assurance audits at our manufacturer's base and here at Henchman HQ.

What is a tripod ladder used for?

A tripod ladder is ideal for jobs at height or that take place on soft, sloping or uneven terrain - any task where a standard ladder needs footing or you can't rest all feet on the ground.

Some of these tasks include:

Hedge trimming and topiary
Tree maintenance
Fruit picking
Home maintenance - including cleaning gutters, windows, and painting high ceilings
Pruning shrubs and flowers, such as roses
Cleaning caravans, motorhomes and even greenhouses

If you're tired of balancing on rickety ladders, a 3-legged ladder maintains contact with the ground - especially with our adjustable designs - so you always have a safe, stable surface to work form.

Not sure which ladder is right for you?

Don’t worry. We’ll help you find the perfect ladder for your project - whether that’s a tripod ladder or another ladder design from our range.
