3 Leg Adjustable Trade Master Tripod Ladder (1.8m BPS 3 Leg Trade Master Tripod)

Product Information

The double curved bars that run up the sides of this tripod ladder, not only look stylish but also act as hand rails while you climb up and down. Integral stabiliser bar, with hard wearing, non-slip rubber feet ensures maximum grip at the base – a superb safety feature which is essential for any trade ladder to comply with EN131 safety standards Don’t use a platform stepladder as a non-self-supporting ladder (leaning it against a wall for example) Straight ladders can be more prone to accidents due to the fact they can be tipped over fairly easily, and you can lose traction while working with one. Bad weather and an uneven surface can make it more difficult to use your ladder safely. The effects of this can be reduced by our different options for ladder feet. They are ideal for outdoor use but can also be used inside to protect your floors from being marked by the ladder as well as increasing your safety whilst using them.

With a 15 stone rating and 3 year warranty they are good for most, you’ll feel confident on the top platform, mainly due to the fact you’ve been able to adjust all three legs to give yourself maximum balance. Features 2 x extra wide stabiliser bars with large rubber feet, ensuring maximum grip to any floor surface Like the estate to garden tripod ladder, this one has an adjustable leg so you can find your balance ‘sweet spot’ on slopes and bumpy lawns. It also helps to get you closer to the spot you need to be to work. Do not exceed the weight limit instructed on the tripod ladder as you increase the risk of damage to the ladder and an injury for yourself.

You see, a lot of people will see those high branches in their garden that need pruning, pop into the shed and bring out their A-frame ladder, pop it open and then rush up it without thinking twice. The reason this is a bad idea is that most gardens are not perfectly flat, or even close, nor is the ground usually that solid, and A-frame ladders are not designed to be used on such surfaces. And whilst I love my tall step ladders, they just do not compare to tripod ladders for the job of cutting down tall hedges or for any arborist job for that matter. Never overreach when using the ladder, you should ensure your body is centred within the ladder stiles Don’t attempt to modify the tripod ladder yourself, only use replacement parts supplied by your ladder manufacturer or supplier. Extension ladder: perfect for when you need to reach high levels, this ladder configuration needs to be leant against a wall I chose the Henchman tripod ladder mainly because of the standing platform area at the top of the ladder and also because of the adjustable legs.

There are many types and sub-types of ladder, and using the wrong one for the job at hand can not only make life difficult but also actually increase the likelihood of an accidental fall. A tripod ladder is a really useful tool to have in the garden if you have tall trees or hedges that need to be maintained. Let’s start with how light this ladder is. We tested the 3m version and I was able to carry it about easily in one hand while holding my hedge trimmer in the other. The manufacturers say that the weight of the 3m tripod tower is only 10kg and I for one certainly believe them. In fact, it felt lighter than that to me but that’s probably because this was the first of this product group we reviewed and I’ve been using a steel ladder to paint the inside of the house recently. Still, it is very easy to manoeuvre around your garden and certainly a quality alternative to a long reach hedge trimmer.

Essentials

deep platform at the top for your sure footing and comfort when standing & working at the top of the ladder. However, the benefits of these safety features can only be fully effective if the ladder is being used and stored correctly. Irresponsible use or care of a combination ladder could lead to damage and wear that compromises your safety. This takes us into the next question that is frequently asked about combination ladders. How do you use a combination ladder safely? Do not use damaged goods, if you spot an issue with the ladder wait until it can be repaired or replaced before carrying out your work. An element of extra care needs to be given when working with ladders on uneven surfaces such as those involving stairs. A more specialised type of ladder with a configuration that is designed to work in perfect harmony with stairs is recommended. It’s hard to appreciate just how tall these are but this angle shows you nicely how you’ll tower over smaller outbuildings:

Ensure the overhang beyond supports is equal and less than a third of the full length of the ladder You can also work on edges without risking your safety, and not need the help of anyone else while you are climbing up or down the ladder. Additionally, you won’t need to rely on the roof or gutter for support or worry that the ladder may slide off and lead you to fall. One of the most commonly used materials for producing standoffs and stays is a rubber pad. Amongst the popular types of standoffs, rubber suction feet are often the most efficient. Best 3 leg adjustable tripod ladder: Tripod Garden Ladders with Built-in Platform by Henchman 8′– (2.4m) All 3 Legs Fully Adjustable New to the list is the Orchard Garden Tripod Ladder. This is in much ways similar to the Estate Green tripod in the next review but much much better. It’s got a huge sturdy platform to work from and a much wider body. Always walk down the ladder facing the ladder and holding onto the side rail securely. Tripod ladders should be used in the same way as you would any other type of ladder.The reason this tripod ladder, and most other top tripod ladder models, are so lightweight is the same reason why they are so durable- they are made of aluminium. Aluminium isn’t just a very lightweight metal, it is also rust and corrosion proof so you can be sure of getting your money’s worth over the years to come. On this ladder they are 3 inches deep, whereas most ladder rungs are only 1.5 – 2 inches deep. The extra depth allows more space for your feet to stand on, so if you are working on the ladder for long periods of time, there won’t be as much strain on your feet and legs, you can stand more safely and comfortably.
