The Henchman All Terrain Telescopic Platform is built for jobs where a standard ladder simply isn’t safe or practical. Designed to create a stable, level working platform on uneven ground, it gives you the confidence to work at height with both hands free — whether you’re cutting, fitting, repairing or maintaining.
Available in 3 Step and 5 Step versions, the platform covers a wide range of working heights without turning into scaffolding or eating up van space. It folds down flat, fits inside most vans, and meets EN131-7 safety standards, making it a serious bit of kit for professionals who work on slopes, steps and awkward ground every day.
What the Henchman All Terrain Telescopic Platform Is Made For
The Henchman All Terrain Telescopic Platform is designed for working safely at height where the ground isn’t flat, firm or predictable. Slopes, steps, verges, soft ground and uneven surfaces are exactly where this platform earns its keep. Instead of fighting a ladder or constantly resetting your footing, you get a stable, level platform that stays put.
Where It Excels in Real Use
This platform allows you to work side-on, with both feet flat and both hands free. That alone makes a noticeable difference on longer jobs. You’re not climbing up and down to move position, and you’re not balancing while trying to cut, paint or install.
- Stable footing on uneven or sloping ground
- Large platform reduces fatigue during long tasks
- Faster job progress compared to ladders
- No scaffold build time or transport hassle
Who the ATTP Suits Best
The Henchman ATTP is aimed squarely at professionals who work outdoors or across mixed terrain. Gardeners, landscapers, facilities teams and maintenance contractors are the most common users, particularly those working around banks, steps, hedges, trees and buildings with awkward access.
It also suits domestic users with large gardens or challenging layouts, but it’s not a casual ladder replacement. This is equipment bought because safety and efficiency genuinely matter.
3 Step vs 5 Step — Choosing the Right Model
3 Step All Terrain Telescopic Platform
The 3 Step version is the most commonly chosen model. It covers working heights up to around 3.3m overhead, making it ideal for hedge cutting, general maintenance, decorating and most domestic and light commercial tasks. It’s easier to manoeuvre and fits comfortably inside smaller vans.
5 Step All Terrain Telescopic Platform
The 5 Step model is chosen when extra reach is non-negotiable. With overhead working heights up to 4.3m, it suits tree work, tall hedges, lighting installations and facilities management jobs. It’s bigger and heavier, but that’s the trade-off for the extra height.
Stability and Safety in Practice
Each leg can be adjusted independently and locked securely with auto-locking pins, allowing the platform to sit level even when the ground isn’t. The high-tensile aluminium frame provides strength without unnecessary bulk, and the wide stance improves confidence when working at height.
Certification matters here. The platform is BSI Kitemark certified to EN131-7, which goes beyond basic testing and covers ongoing quality and manufacturing standards.
Transport, Storage and Day-to-Day Handling
The Henchman All Terrain Platform folds flat in seconds and is designed to be transported inside a van. Wheels and guard rail fold into the frame, keeping storage size down and removing the need for roof racks. For contractors moving between jobs, that alone saves time every day.
Where It Sits in the Henchman Range
This platform sits above tripod and step ladder options in the Henchman range. If a ladder feels marginal but scaffolding feels excessive, the All Terrain Telescopic Platform is the sensible middle ground — offering stability, reach and flexibility without the bulk.
