Our adjustable tripod ladder is designed to provide a safe and stable platform regardless of the terrain, making working at height more comfortable. Boasting a range of features including three individually adjustable legs and claw-like feet, this ladder is made with versatility in mind and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
The individually-adjustable legs mean that you can create a flat, stable surface to work from anywhere. As long as all three feet are firmly on the ground, our adjustable tripod ladder can be used on slopes, dips and soft or uneven surfaces that would normally make a ladder unstable.
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 high durability standards.
Our adjustable 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. 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.

The built in working platform allows you to tuck your knees into the frame for extra stability, allowing you to use both hands safely as you work
Professional level safety for all. Tested by British Standards Institution (BSI) and fully certified to BS EN131 with the trusted Kitemark.
The adjustable 3-leg is available for a range of jobs, including:
It’s important to know the height of which you’ll be working at, before ordering your tripod ladder. For example, if you’re going to use your ladder for hedge cutting, then first measure the hedge, so you know what you need.
The platform rung on our 3 legged ladder is 3ft / 0.9cm 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 going to be working between 6-8ft, our 6ft / 1.8m ladder will do the job perfectly.
Our 3 adjustable leg tripod range starts at 6ft, with our largest ladder being 16ft. With this ladder, you’re standing 13ft from the ground.
Ladder Size | Platform Height | Hip Level | Reaching Overhead | Ladder Weight |
---|---|---|---|---|
6ft / 1.8m | 3ft / 0.9m | 6ft / 1.8m | 10ft / 3.0m | 8kg |
8ft / 2.4m | 5ft / 1.5m | 8ft / 2.4m | 12ft / 3.6m | 10kg |
10ft / 3m | 7ft / 2.1m | 10ft / 3m | 14ft / 4.2m | 12kg |
12ft / 3.6m | 9ft / 2.7m | 12ft / 3.6m | 16ft / 4.8m | 14kg |
14ft / 4.2m | 11ft / 3.3m | 14ft / 4.2m | 18ft / 5.4m | 18kg |
16ft / 4.8m | 13ft / 3.9m | 16ft / 4.8m | 20ft / 6.0m | 23kg |
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. Measuring the hedge height before you order will ensure you choose the right size.

It’s simple, really. Our 3 Leg Adjustable 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 3 Leg Adjustable 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 safely work on all types of surfaces, including uneven and sloping terrain. The ladder’s claw-like feet grip soft ground to add extra stability, and stop the ladder from sinking.
The 3 Leg Adjustable Tripod Ladder’s standing platform provides a safe place for your feet while you work. You can tuck your knees into the frame for extra stability, allowing you to use both hands safely as you work.
If you’re planning to use the ladder in your garden, we always recommend the 3 Leg Adjustable Tripod Ladder.
That’s because in order to be safe, all ladders (including a Henchman ladder) need to be upright and level. Very few gardens are perfectly level. Most have a degree of unevenness, whether that’s steep slopes or gentle lumps and bumps.
The Henchman 3 Leg Adjustable Tripod Ladder is designed to cope with almost all terrain, so it is very rare that you’ll find somewhere where you can’t safely use one.
On the other hand, tripod ladders with just 1 adjustable leg are designed to be used on flat ground, or facing up or down a single planed gentle slope. A tripod ladder with 1 adjustable leg will not work if you have a slope parallel to the area where you’re working.
For example, if your garden faces up or down a hill, but your hedges run along the left or right hand sides of your garden, a one leg adjustable ladder won’t offer your stability. In this case, you’d need a three leg adjustable ladder.
Yes, you can use our 3 adjustable leg tripod ladder indoors.
In fact, they work brilliantly indoors when purchased with our optional rubber feet.
These feet 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 for professional purposes, such as landscape gardening or tree surgery, then we’d suggest our Professional 3-leg adjustable tripod platform ladder instead.
Although 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.
Both the 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.
However, 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.
The rubber feet make your ladder easier to use inside and on hard surfaces.
Slide them onto the feet of the Tripod ladder and they will protect your floor from scratches and improve grip.
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.
Both our Tripod ladders are designed in the UK and made by accredited welders in China.
Our Tripod Ladders are certified by British Standards Institution (BSI) to BS EN 131.
