Best Ladders for Hedge Cutting
What makes tripod ladders the best ladders for hedge cutting? Henchman Ladders are designed for gardening tasks like trimming hedges, pruning trees, and maintaining topiary.
There are various aspects of its specialist design that make it the safest ladder to carry out these tasks.
What makes tripod ladders the best for cutting hedges?
Tripod Ladders are a free-standing ladder with three legs instead of four, creating a wider base. Knowing that most gardens aren’t completely flat, the wide-splayed base and adjustable legs ensures the feet remain in firm contact with the ground when working on uneven terrain, making them a much safer alternative to other ladders.
Why a Henchman Tripod?
Being in the ladder industry for 30 years and working with our customers, we have developed a range of Tripod Ladders that are purpose built with uneven terrain in mind.
Henchman Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder
Ranging in sizes from 5ft / 1.5m – 12ft / 3.6m, our Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder’s are perfect for home/domestic use, whether it’s hedge cutting, tree pruning, gutter cleaning or decorating.
Three independently adjustable legs make almost any surface safe and easy to work on, as you can keep the ladder level.
High-grade aluminium construction enables the ladder to be durable yet lightweight and easy to transport.
Clawed feet prevent sudden sinking or slipping as they grip into soft ground, and the removable rubber feet help you to remain stable on hard surfaces.
The top rung is a platform step, wider than the other rungs, meaning you can work more comfortably and stable at the top of the ladder. In order to make the ladder more comfortable to use, we’ve removed the rung above the platform, so you can tuck your legs in and avoid grazes to the shin. Complete with a guard rail at the top of the ladder, you benefit from extra support and can safely work hands-free when leaning into the guard rail to maintain three points of contact with the ladder.
Other features of our Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder include the new hedge-proof locking pins, for easy readjustment of the three legs and the new chain guard prevents the chain from getting caught and rattling around the ladder.
Knowing when to go PRO
If you’re using your tripod ladder everyday then it may be time to level up to the Henchman Fully Adjustable PRO Tripod Ladder, made for professionals and high frequency use.

The rear leg (red) of the PRO easily clips into the main frame of the ladder making it easier to transport to and from jobs or loading onto or into a vehicle.
