There are specific guidelines you should adhere to when thinking about the height of your ladder. A key consideration is the highest permitted standing level on a step ladder is two steps down from the top, meaning the climber should only reach a maximum of 4’ higher than the top of the ladder. Another example is on an extension ladder, the highest standing level is four rungs down from the top. Knowing how much weight a ladder can holdTo be perfectly honest, each tripod ladder has its minor differences and special features. Although essentially, they are all very similar. Cheapest Tripod Ladder They are certainly nice and sturdy – you won’t feel like you’ve bought a cheap set if you opt for these and overall in the 10ft tripod ladder range these are well worth considering.

One of the other great features about the Henchman tripod is the fact that is has the highest working weight. This ladder can cope with holding a weight of 150kg, (23.6 stone) which would allow most people to stand on the ladder using tools at the same time. Hailing all the way from Japan, the Niwaki tripod ladder from Hasegawa is yet another very good product that is worthy of some serious consideration.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.

It is horrible to work at the top of a ladder and be constantly trying to stabilise yourself and you balance, this platform really helps with this. Especially as tripod ladders narrow as they reach the top, which means there is less framework to stand on. Handrails Either Side For Easier Climbing The top portion of this tripod ladder tapers to much narrower top, this is a useful feature, because if you are using tools at the top of the ladder, the ladder won’t get in the way of you moving the tool around to cut branches. With most A-frame ladders the platform is right at the top and there isn’t anything to help you keep your balance above you or even at upper body height. Reaching too high - it is standard practice of ladder use that the user should never stand on the top two rungs as this affects stability and balance. If you are using a combination ladder with extending sections, the upper section should be extended to allow the climber to reach higher. You must ensure that your body is always positioned over the rungs and not reaching out the side, as this pulls all the weight to one side. A combination ladder that has an ‘A’ frame should be set up and placed side on to the desired area to offer better reach whilst maintaining strong stability. Are combination ladders suitable for use on stairs? deep platform at the top for your sure footing and comfort when standing & working at the top of the ladder.Each rung of the ladder has a double bar platform, which means there is more of a step to stand on to help you stay balanced.

The hand rails make you feel much more stable and safe when climbing up and down the ladder – they are also good for holding on to when working with one hand.

Three adjustable legs (with 460mm / 18” of movement on each) this means you can secure the ladder even on uneven terrain.

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.Being able to face the job and work head on is both more comfortable and safer as you have more stability and less tension in your muscles to keep yourself stable. 7 Inch Platform At the Top 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. It is not too big or bulky – some of the tripod ladders are absolutely huge, this is a much more manageable size.
