Collection: Tripod Ladders

Crown professional tripod ladders are crafted to meet high standards and provide superior stability when working at heights. Crown tripod ladders are commonly utilized by both professional landscapers and DIY enthusiasts for everyday gardening and landscaping tasks.

What is a tripod ladder?

Commercial gardening tasks such as topiary, hedge trimming, tree surgery and fruit picking require special safety equipment. Therefore a traditional A-frame ladder may not be the ideal choice. Tripod ladders are specifically designed for professional garden and orchard tasks offering a safer alternative to standard ladders.

A tripod ladder has three legs instead of four and a wide base with splayed legs, which ensures stability on uneven surfaces. This is particularly useful in British gardens and commercial properties that are not entirely level.

Benefits of tripod ladders

Crown tripod ladders offer numerous safety and efficiency benefits over standard ladders.

Strong, sturdy and light

Given the heights that tripod ladders are available in they’re relatively light while providing a sturdy platform that’s able to support up to 150kg. They feature thicker aluminium with wide ladder rungs and deep steps for comfortable use over long periods. They’re available in a range of sizes from 6-14ft in height to suit a range of garden tasks.

Maximum stability & adjustability on uneven ground

The nature of the adjustable spring-loaded legs means the design can adapt to different terrains. The 3rd leg can also work face-on, with the 3rd leg poking into the hedge allowing you to get right into the crown of a tree.

When fully extended the leg chain ensures front and back legs are at the correct distance apart and the legs are at equal angles of 75 degrees so you can climb the ladder safely.

Not just for garden work

Replacing the ground spikes which are designed for soft ground with optional non-slip rubber feet makes the ladders suitable to be used on hard surfaces. This means you can clean caravans, replace light fittings or work on guttering, the uses are endless.

Why choose a tripod ladder over standard ladder designs?

The numerous safety features of a tripod ladder allow for extensive commercial use. You shouldn’t be second-guessing your equipment during the working day especially if you’re using it in conjunction with motor equipment.

Working at Height Regulations
