Henchman HIS7, Maxi Hi-Steps, Aluminium Garden Work Platform, Ideal to Cut 4.2m/14ft Hedges, 4 x Height Adjustable Legs

Top-notch platform ladder for working safely at height. I have been using it (fitted with the Henchman extender) to cut back some tall conifers using a chain saw and a Wolf garten pro 370 saw and adjustable anvil loppers on an extendable pole. The ladder feels ultra-safe with a very wide footprint for stability and a safety rail and rear safety strap as well as a 2.8 sq.ft platform to stand on. It was a dream to set up with clear instructions, minimal tools (just three spanners) and colour coding on the parts. Although the ladder is strong enough to support a weight of 150kg, it is reasonably lightweight due to its mostly aluminium construction, but with the extender fitted it really needs the optional trolley wheels (which are very quick and easy to attach to the lowest two rungs of the ladder) to facilitate manoeuvring the ladder into place, before raising it into the vertical position. I like the way you can very quickly and easily adjust the length of the legs independently to cope with uneven ground, with a variation of 2 ft on each leg. There is even a fine adjustment available where the feet connect to the legs and the very large rubber feet can pivot at any angle, again to cope with uneven terrain. All in all, this is a great ladder with an excellent range of features and I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
