Henchman Hi-Step Platform Ladder

It’s simple, really. Our tripod ladders provide wobble-free stability because all three feet always remain in contact with the ground. 

By adjusting each leg individually to counteract uneven ground, the Three Adjustable Leg Tripod ladder allows you to ensure that the rungs are always level. All three legs adjust up to 18 inches (45cm) to allow you to work on all types of surfaces, including uneven and sloping terrain. The ladder’s claw-like feet add extra stability, and stop the ladder from sinking when used on soft ground.

The tripod ladder’s standing platform provides a safe place for your feet while you work. You can also tuck your knees into the frame for extra stability, allowing you to use both hands safely as you work.

If you plan to use your ladder on hard surfaces or indoors, our ladders also work brilliantly when purchased with the optional rubber feet. These improve grip on flat hard surfaces and also protect delicate floors from being scratched by the clawed feet.

If you’re planning to use your tripod ladder at work, for example as a gardener or tree surgeon, then we’d suggest our Professional 3-leg adjustable tripod platform ladder instead.

While similar to our standard model, our professional model is made from thicker aluminium and is built to better withstand regular use and transit. This makes it far more resistant to frequent use over the years. Plus, for businesses claiming back on VAT, the extra cost of our professional tripod ladder can be easily recovered.

The main benefit of the Adjustable Platform Step Ladder is that it has more height flexibility than the tripod ladders. Each leg extends individually to 2ft, which can be increased by a further 3ft with the Platform Step Ladder Height Extender. This means it can be used for a variety of different jobs. 

It also has a large standing platform that is secured by a rear guard strap, offering excellent security for working at heights. And lastly, it offers high levels of productivity. It allows you to increase your reach without having to move the ladder very often, letting you lean left and right on the guardrail without risk of toppling.

Both the Henchman Tripod ladders and the Henchman Adjustable Platform Ladders are designed to be safe on uneven ground. Both have adjustable legs to counteract slopes, dips and steps, have a safe working load of 150kg, and are covered by our 5 year warranty. 

The added benefits of the Adjustable Platform Ladder is that it has a larger standing platform secured by a rear guard strap. It also has more height adjustment due to each leg extending to 2ft, plus an optional 3ft height extender on top of that. It also offers high levels of productivity, allowing you to increase your reach by leaning left and right on the waist high guard rail without risk of toppling.

In contrast, our tripod ladders are lighter due to their fully aluminium frame, making them easier to transport and move around. They are also faster to set up due to their spring pin leg adjustment mechanism.

It’s important to pick the right size ladder. If you choose a ladder that’s too tall, you’ll spend your time working on the lower rungs rather than from the platform. If you choose a ladder that’s too short, you may be tempted to stretch up and over reach, causing imbalance and instability.

However, the Adjustable Platform Step Ladders offer more flexibility when it comes to sizing. 

Please see the “What size ladder do I need?” section on this page for help choosing the right sized ladder. If you’re still unsure about what size to choose, please get in contact and we’ll be more than happy to help.
