Product Information

Full details

The Hendon Platform Tripod Ladder (12ft) is designed for users who prioritize extra security and stability when working at height, making it ideal for gardening and DIY tasks. Its key benefit is the stable three-leg design combined with a deep platform step and handrail for enhanced safety. A potential caveat is its specific use case, being best suited for fixed-height tasks rather than frequent repositioning.

How do I clean the ladder?

Wipe down the ladder with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Can this ladder be used indoors?

Yes, the ladder comes with rubber boots that provide grip and stability on hard indoor surfaces.

What is the purpose of the telescopic third leg?

The telescopic third leg allows the ladder to be precisely positioned, enabling it to straddle low fences, shrubs, or walls, providing optimal access to the work area.

What are the dimensions of the top platform step?

Troubleshooting

Ladder feels unstable

Ensure all three legs are fully extended and locked. Check that the telescopic third leg is properly adjusted for the ground. Verify the ladder is on a firm, level surface.

Telescopic leg is difficult to adjust

Ensure the leg is clean and free of dirt or debris. Check for any obstructions. Apply a silicone lubricant if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.

Feet provide insufficient grip

For soft ground, ensure clawed feet are engaged. For hard surfaces, ensure rubber boots are attached. Inspect feet for wear and tear; replace if damaged.

Ladder makes noise or creaks

This can be normal flexing of the aluminum. Ensure all joints are clean and free of debris. Check for any loose rivets or components.
