Tripod Ladders

Tripod ladders are the most practical access solution for gardeners, landscapers and tree surgeons.

Their 3 legs, broad base and telescopic rear leg make them suitable for use on uneven ground, slopes and steps. They offer the perfect solution for pruning hedges due to their triangular footprint giving an easy working position and their stability which does not require a second man to support the ladder.

Tripod ladders save you time and money while making your work so much easier.

**Price rises due on all tripod ladders from 1st March 2012!**

The Standard Tripod Ladder




Standard Tripod Ladders are available in seven size options, from the 4 tread model right up to the 12 tread model which is over 4.6m high.

  •  High Grade Aluminium Alloy Construction
  •  All Welded Structure
  •  High Strength for Low Weight
  •  Will Not Rust or Corrode
  •  3 Legs for Stability on Uneven Ground
  •  Telescopic 3rd Leg
  •  Will Straddle Flower Beds
  •  Clawed Anti-slip Feet
  •  100kg Maximum Safe Working Load
The Tripod Ladder Claw foot
Each Standard Tripod Ladder features 2 fixed legs and a telescopic third leg which is adjustable in 150mm increments. Each leg has an anti–slip clawed foot.

These ladders are ideal for trimming large topiary and hedges. The tripod shape allows you to either work face–on, with the 3rd leg poked into the hedge, or sideways, with the ladder parallel to the hedge. The three legs and wide base also ensure good stability while the deep double rungs provide comfortable footing, allowing you to take the time necessary to complete the job in hand.

Tripod Ladders have always been the ladder of choice for working in orchards. The single back leg allows you to get right into the crown of the tree without resorting to resting a ladder on a bough.

All of the Tripod Ladders are manufactured from welded aluminium extrusions and are extremely strong but also lightweight. When choosing a ladder bear in mind that the safe standing height is normally 3 rungs from the top. This means that, as a guide, the tallest hedge you would cut would normally be approximately 2' higher than the top of the ladder.

Please note that the black rubber protective feet shown in the pictures are an optional extra and are available to purchase below. These are an ideal addition for working on hard or internal floor surfaces.
