My existing stepladder is not really high enough, and stability can also be marginal. I am wondering if it is time, as a precautionary investment to reduce the risk of injury, to get something better. The Rolls Royce solution might be something like the 10 ft version of this: https://www.niwaki.com/store/niwaki-tripod-ladder/ A tripod ladder is a bad idea, as they are a lot less stable than a corresponding quadrupod one. We bought an industrial-grade one from Mackays at 150 quid (versus 50 quid for the 'domestic') and have not regretted it. Regards, Nick Maclaren. Can you explain why tree surgeons almost always have a tripod ladder? They have a very wide area of footing and 3 legs is inherently stable on unplanar ground. |
