As the garden centre world begins to recover from a busy spring period, retailers can use this quieter time to refocus the business and begin preparations for next season. 

From buying stock to refreshing marketing plans, there is certainly plenty to be getting on with, however health and safety should always remain a top priority. 

To help keep the team safe when working at height, the leading ladder specialist, Henchman, has introduced two new models – the Fully Adjustable Tripod range and the Fully Adjustable Tripod PRO range. 

Whether it’s organising the stockroom, replenishing shelves, or putting up the centre’s Christmas decorations and displays, Henchman’s ladders have always proven popular with retailers due to their adjustability, usability and durability.

Each ladder features a built-in platform to make working hands-free a breeze, and the PRO model boasts an additional platform below, ideal for working at variable heights or offering additional chest support to help users feel more stable.

Ranging from 5ft right up to 16ft, each leg is independently adjustable to accommodate substantial sloping, uneven earth, and steps. This makes the ladders a must-have piece of equipment for employees who will encounter all manner of tasks throughout the working week. 

Importantly, Henchman’s Tripod Ladders are the only EN131-certified tripod ladders available in the UK, and boast the trusted BSI (British Standards Institution) Kitemark, so garden centre managers can rest assured that their team is in safe hands, and that their legal responsibility to protect their staff has been met. 

Prices start from £299 for the Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder and from £399 for the Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder PRO.
