The Henchman Wheeled Height Extender is designed for users who need more reach from their existing Wheeled Henchman platform, without changing how they work. It increases the platform height by a further 3–4ft, allowing you to tackle taller hedges and maintenance tasks while staying on a stable, guarded platform.
Available in 55 and 76 versions, the extender is built from galvanised steel for durability and long-term outdoor use. The taller 76 model adds fold-away corner stabilisers to increase the working footprint when operating at greater height, giving added confidence when leaning into the guard rails.
What the Henchman Wheeled Height Extender Is Designed For
The Henchman Wheeled Height Extender is designed to extend the working capability of an existing Wheeled Henchman platform when extra height is needed. It allows you to stay on a guarded platform rather than switching to ladders or scaffold, keeping your working method consistent and controlled.
When a Height Extender Makes Sense
This extender is typically added when the base platform height is no longer enough for the work being carried out. Common triggers include hedge growth over time, taller boundary screening, or new maintenance tasks that push beyond the original working range.
- Taller hedge and boundary cutting
- Mature garden and estate maintenance
- Repeated work at a fixed higher level
- Jobs where platform stability is preferred over ladders
55 vs 76 — Choosing the Right Extender
Height Extender 55
The 55 extender is suited to users who need a modest increase in working height without significantly changing the platform footprint. It’s the sensible choice when height is the main limitation and lateral forces are minimal.
Height Extender 76
The 76 extender is designed for greater height increases and more demanding work. It includes four corner stabilisers that extend the footprint when deployed, reducing the risk of movement when leaning against the guard rails. These stabilisers fold away when moving through tight access points.
Stability at Increased Height
As working height increases, stability becomes more important. The 76 model addresses this directly with its integrated stabilisers, giving extra reassurance when applying sideways pressure during hedge cutting or similar tasks. The additional weight of the galvanised steel construction also contributes to overall stability.
Material Choice and Durability
The extender is manufactured from hot dip galvanised steel rather than aluminium. This provides excellent resistance to corrosion and is better suited to the structural demands of increasing platform height, particularly for outdoor use and long-term ownership.
Compatibility and Use
The Wheeled Height Extender is designed exclusively for use with the Henchman Wheeled platform range. It is not a standalone product and is not intended to be adapted for use with other ladders or platforms.
