Superior safety: Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder
Tripod ladder with three adjustable legs
Sustained focus, without the fatigue
Three legs, hundreds of uses
Adjustable legs for uneven ground
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 tripod models, you can get to those hard-to-reach branches, greenhouse roofs and guttering so that every job is completed with ease. The claw-like feet provide a solid grip on soft ground, so that you can complete tasks safely, come rain or shine.
Spacious platform for increased comfort and control
We know that comfort and control are key when working at height. That’s why our 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, and lean your body against the hip-height guard rail. You can then work in a secure position while providing increased comfort, greater freedom and more control.
Lockable legs to keep you safe at height
Designed with your safety in mind, our Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder features our hedge-proof locking pin. To ensure 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.
The ONLY tripod ladder certified to UK safety standards
Our tripod range is certified to EN131 - the only tripods on the market in the UK and EU. This means our 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. Read more about EN131 here.
What size do I need?
For example, if you’re going to use your ladder for hedge cutting, then first measure the hedge so you know what will best suit your requirements. Note that, when we talk about ladder sizes, we’re referring to the bottom of the ladder to the top when fully retracted.
The platform rung on our Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder is 3ft / 0.9m 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 working between 6-8ft, our 6ft/ 1.8m ladder will do the job perfectly.

What is the BS EN131 Kitemark?
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.
