Henchman, the UK’s leading specialist in safety platforms for working at height, has announced the launch of its latest innovation – the All Terrain Telescopic Platform. Designed in direct response to industry demand, this new product combines the adjustability of a telescopic platform with the robust stability required for an uneven or sloped terrain – a long-standing gap in the professional access equipment market. 

The All Terrain Telescopic Platform is Henchman’s most versatile platform to date, created to meet the needs of a wide range of sectors including construction, building maintenance, facilities management, live events and horticulture. By offering safe, rapid access on variable ground conditions, it enables teams to work efficiently and with greater flexibility than traditional podiums, towers or static-frame platforms. 

Key features: 

• Independently adjustable legs for sloped or soft terrain 
• Telescopic platform height variance of up to 80cm for the 3 Step and 120cm for the 5 Step 
• Certified to EN131-7 safety standards by British Standards Institution (BSI) 
• Compact transport size – fits in a VW Caddy (3 Step) or Transporter (5 Step) 
• No roof rack required – folds flat for van storage 
• Quick folding design – collapses flat in seconds for rapid deployment 
• Indoor and outdoor suitability – ideal for facilities, landscaping, events, maintenance and installation work 

Available in two sizes – 3 Step and 5 Step – the platform features independently adjustable legs which ensure a level working space on uneven or soft surfaces such as slopes, steps and verges. The telescopic height can be adjusted to suit a wide range of internal and external tasks, including landscaping, building maintenance and decorating, window cleaning and event set up. 

Manufactured from high tensile aluminium with auto-locking pins for secure adjustment, the platform is certified to BSI EN131-7, the industry's leading safety standard for mobile ladders with platforms.  

Owen Simpson, Managing Director of Henchman, commented: “We listened carefully to feedback from professionals who were frustrated by the limitations of current telescopic platforms, particularly when working at varying height and on uneven terrain.”

“This launch is a direct response to that demand – a truly portable and adaptable access platform that’s quick to deploy, easy to transport, and most importantly, safe to use on a variety of ground surfaces. By meeting the EN131-7 safety certification, users can work confidently and compliantly across sites with changing conditions, from soft verges to hard construction ground.” 

Unlike conventional podiums or scaffold towers, the All Terrain Telescopic Platform offers rapid setup and breakdown, with no need for external fixings or levelling kits. The platform folds flat in seconds and fits inside most commercial vehicles, including small vans, for easy transport between sites. The integrated transport wheels and compact frame further enhance mobility without compromising on strength. 

From groundskeeping and hedge cutting, to event rigging, property repairs and lighting installations, the new All Terrain Telescopic Platform has been engineered for professionals who need a reliable and adaptable transportable platform to complete a wide variety of jobs – safely and efficiently.
