Transtak’s aluminium tripod ladders are purpose-built in New Zealand for growers, lanscapers, and DIY users who want a ladder that’s light to carry yet strong and stable to use.
The tripod design gives greater stability on soft and uneven ground than a standard A-frame, with a larger diameter back pole for less flex and more confidence when standing at height. A hinged back leg with stainless steel pivot pin & bushings and a rubber bump stop ensures quiet, durable operation, while rounded side extrusions provide a comfortable grip for daily use. Wide serrated steps and a double-width top platform provide secure footing for pruning, thinning, or DIY jobs around the home.
Available in sizes from 4 ft to 15 ft, with load ratings up to 180 kg, Transtak ladders are trusted by growers and equally popular for DIY tree work, hedge trimming, and property maintenance. All models are AS/NZ/BS/EN compliant, giving you complete confidence in safety.
Light to carry, safe to climb, and built to last.

Bought the Property/Orchard Ladder after using a friends one. If you are thinking of getting one don't hesitate as they are awesome - very stable and tall! I already have a selection of ladders for different jobs, this one will definitely replace the larger ones. Great service too, definitely recommend.Posted on Dreadnought RecordsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
