The Henchman Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder is designed for garden and property work where stable footing matters. With three independently adjustable legs and a built-in platform rung, it gives you a secure working position on lawns, borders and uneven ground where standard ladders feel unreliable.
Available in a range of sizes to suit different working heights, this tripod ladder is aimed at serious home users and light professional work. It offers EN131-certified safety and practical adjustability without the extra weight and features of the PRO model.
What the Henchman Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder Is Designed For
The Henchman Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder is built for jobs where the ground isn’t flat and a standard ladder won’t sit properly. It’s designed to be leaned into, giving you a stable working position when trimming hedges, pruning trees or carrying out maintenance around the garden and home.
Why a Fully Adjustable Tripod Makes a Difference
Unlike fixed-leg ladders, all three legs adjust independently. That means you can level the ladder on slopes, steps and uneven ground without compromising stability. The tripod design lets you work close to hedges and shrubs, while the wide stance at the front keeps the ladder steady as you lean in.
Comfort and Control When Working at Height
The built-in platform rung allows you to work in a supported position rather than balancing on rungs. You can tuck your knees into the frame and lean against the guard rail, which reduces fatigue and gives you better control during longer jobs.
- More comfortable hedge cutting and pruning
- Less repositioning compared to standard ladders
- Improved balance when working side-on
Choosing the Right Ladder Height
When selecting a size, it’s important to think about working height rather than ladder height. The platform rung sits 3ft / 0.9m below the top of the ladder, placing your waist level with the top. Most work should be carried out between waist and shoulder height.
As a guide, shoulders are usually around 2ft / 60cm above waist height. This means a 6ft ladder typically covers a working height range of around 6–8ft. Measuring what you actually need to reach before ordering will help you choose the right size first time.
Suitable Jobs and Typical Uses
The Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder is a versatile choice for a wide range of garden and property tasks.
- Hedge trimming and shaping
- Tree and shrub pruning
- Fruit picking and plant maintenance
- Cleaning gutters and windows
- Caravan and motorhome cleaning
- Painting high ceilings and stairwells
Safety, Stability and Certification
This ladder is certified to EN131 and tested by an independent third party for stability, grip, dimensions and a 150kg safe working load. The clawed feet grip into soft ground to prevent sinking, while rubber overshoes can be fitted for indoor or hard-surface use.
Where It Sits in the Henchman Range
The Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder sits above rear-leg adjustable models and below the PRO range. It’s the right choice for users who want full adjustability and certified safety, without stepping up to heavier, trade-focused equipment.
