Features of the Professional Henchman Tripod Ladder

With three individually-adjustable legs, the Professional Henchman Tripod Ladder can be safely positioned almost anywhere. From sloping and uneven ground to softer terrain and steps, our ladder provides a safe base to work from for a wide range of jobs.

Made for professional use, our Professional Ladder is built using thicker aluminium and rungs to withstand daily use and regular transportation while remaining lightweight.

For even more strength and wear-and-tear resistance, check out our Fully Adjustable PRO Tripod. With a dual platform and better leg-locking mechanisms, any task becomes a breeze with our new PRO ladder.

Keep safe while working

As the only tripod ladder on the market that’s BS EN131 certified, you can rest assured that you’ll be safe when working at height. This model comes with a platform rung located at the top 3ft/0.9m of the ladder, regardless of the ladder size. This allows you to tuck your knees into the frame, further improving stability and preventing knee bases as you work.

BS EN131 certified ladder

Safety is our top priority and our adjustable tripod ladder is fully certified to BS EN131 with the associated Kitemark. This guarantees a maximum safe working load of 150kg and ensures a high standard of strength and stability.

Suitable for a range of uses

Our Professional Tripod ladder can be used on almost any terrain and for a range of jobs, including hedge trimming, pruning, clearing gutters and cleaning hard-to-reach windows. The individually adjustable legs mean that the legs can be lengthened or shortened up to 18 inches/45cm to provide a stable base on uneven and sloping ground.

In addition, rubber feet can be fitted that make the ladder easier to use inside and on hard surfaces, these prevent scratches and improve grip.

Lightweight and portable

Ranging from 9kg to 15kg - depending on the size - our tripod ladder is incredibly lightweight - it’s no heavier than the smallest bag of compost. You can easily move your ladder around as needed while remaining strong enough to last and sturdy enough to give you confidence when working at height.

Long lasting and durable

Hand-welded from thicker aluminium profiles, the professional tripod ladder is built to withstand all that daily work can throw at it. With a safe working limit of up to 150kg, you can be confident when using heavy equipment. This is a ladder you can rely on to help you get the job done.

3 adjustable legs & unique platform design

The 3 adjustable legs provide stability on uneven ground, while the unique platform design lets you tuck your knees into the frame and work with both hands safely

Built to withstand regular use and transportation

Our professional tripod ladders are built to endure regular use and transportation, and can withstand weight of up to 150kg

Trusted professional safety

Our ladders are professionally hand welded and tested by British Standards Institution (BSI) to conform to BS EN 131-2:2010+A2:2017. 01

BSI EN131 kitemark - what does it mean?

What’s involved in kitemark certification?

We have chosen to Kitemark our ladders as the Kitemark certification goes above and beyond just product testing. It looks at all aspects of the supply chain too, so you can rest assured that the ladders you receive are designed for the job you're performing. Shopping with Henchman means buying ladders that are safety tested to the highest standards, produced by approved and audited manufacturers, and treated with thorough quality control measures throughout the whole of the supply chain. BSI’s EN131 Kitemark Certification tests all of the below -

EN131

- Part 1 -terms, types, functional sizes – this section inspects the key dimensional requirements of the ladder, such as base width and rung spacing, to ensure that they are both in accordance with the safety requirements and consistent across all production batches.
- Part 2 - requirements, testing, marking – this section inspects and tests the strength and stability of the ladder, ensuring that it’s suitable for the intended use.
- Part 3 - marking and user instructions – this section assesses the quality and completeness of the ladders labelling, markings and user instructions, to ensure that the user can easily understand how to safely operate their ladder.

Manufacturer audit

- The manufacturer(s) of the ladders are audited according to relevant ISO standards, to assess production methods and processes, quality control processes, and ensure a safe working environment for their employees.

Henchman audit

- This is the final step in the Kitemark process. It is designed to ensure adequate quality control procedures while also protecting you, the customer, by ensuring we have a reliable management structure and business continuity plans.

As you can see, the Kitemark Certification process is very thorough, and provides full reassurance in the quality of our business and products. If you would like any more information, or to discuss how these safety standards fit within your business, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Selecting the right size Professional Ladder

Before ordering your ladder, be sure to measure the size of the job, and how much floor space you have, to ensure you order the correct size. Note that, when we refer to the size of the ladder, we are referring to the total length when fully retracted, from top to bottom.

We always recommend that you work between shoulder and waist height. On the Professional Tripod, the platform is 3ft/0.9cm from the top of the ladder, so your waist is in line with the top.

As an example, if the ladder is 6ft/1.8m, then your waist will be 6ft / 1.8m from the ground. Generally, your shoulders are approximately 2ft/60cm higher than your waist. This means that you’ll have a working height range of 6-8ft / 1.8-2.4m, shoulder to waist level.

So, if you need to reach 6-8ft / 1.8-2.4m, then a 6ft / 1.8m ladder is just what you need.

Our Professional Ladder sizes range from 6ft to 12ft.

What size do I need?

**Working Height**
(Based on the user being 6ft / 180cm)
Ladder Size	Platform Height	Hip Level	Reaching Overhead	Ladder Weight
6ft / 1.8m	3ft / 0.9m	6ft / 1.8m	10ft / 3.0m	9kg
8ft / 2.4m	5ft / 1.5m	8ft / 2.4m	12ft / 3.6m	11kg
10ft / 3m	7ft / 2.1m	10ft / 3m	14ft / 4.2m	13kg
12ft / 3.6m	9ft / 2.7m	12ft / 3.6m	16ft / 4.8m	15kg

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.

Introduction to the Henchman Tripod Ladder

FAQs about our ladders

How do the Professional Tripod Ladders work?

It’s simple, really. Our Professional 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 Professional Tripod Ladders 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 Professional 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.

What are the benefits of the Professional Tripod Ladders?

Although similar to our standard tripod ladder model, our Professional Tripod Ladders are made from thicker aluminium and are built to better withstand regular use and transit. This makes them 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.

Is the Henchman Professional Tripod Ladder EN131 certified?

Some of the clauses with EN131 require ladders to have four legs in order to be compliant. As tripod ladders have 3 legs, they do not fully comply.

However, our Professional Tripod Ladders pro tripod ladders do have a TUV certificate against relevant clauses from EN131. They are also tested by British Standards Institution (BSI) to conform to BS EN 131-2:2010+A2:2017.

Our Professional Tripod Ladders are also compliant with working at height regulations (WAHR), a body that focuses on consumers choosing the right ladder for the job.

Can I use the Professional Tripod Ladder indoors?

If you plan to use your ladder on hard surfaces or indoors, our Professional Tripod 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.

When working in customer’s properties, these feet are excellent for protecting your client's floors and patios from damage.

What’s the difference between the Henchman Tripod ladders and the Henchman Hi-Step Platform Ladders?

Both our tripod ladders and our platform step 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 our tripod ladders include a lighter weight 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. The Professional Tripod Ladders are made from even thicker aluminium and are built to better withstand regular use and transit. This makes them far more resistant to frequent use over the years.

The Adjustable Platform Ladder 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.

What do the Rubber Feet do?

The rubber feet make your Professional Tripod Ladder easier to use inside and on hard surfaces.

Slide them onto the feet of the Professional Tripod Ladder and they will protect your customers floors and patios from scratches and marks, preventing complaints around damage to properties. The rubber feet also improve grip on the floor.

Please note that it’s important to always take the rubber feet off when working on soft ground or gravel, as the clawed aluminium feet are designed to dig into and grip the ground, preventing slipping or sinking.
