Hedging Ladders / Platform

[Nick Connell]

For the last three days I have made the mistake of trimming conifer hedges using a scaffold tower.

 

Just wondered if anyone else uses an amazing special ladder or push along platform thingy?

A ladder with a board attached to it works well for me

There are a few posts on here about "Chinese Tripod Ladders" you might want to check them out also "Henchman" .

 

Hedge Cutting Platforms, Tripod Ladders, Compost Tumblers, Barrows.

We use a youngman 12 step ladder reaches most things and lightweight to

A fellow member by the name of simonsenior built a scaffold out of aluminum and attached

the base to a john deer gator, in conjunction with the Easy-Lift Harness. Simon told me that

the estate he was working on before the investment of his Easy-Lift Harness took him 7 days to complete. Now the the same job takes 4 days. Working smarter sure does pay in more ways than one.

I use a Tripod Ladder with 3 adjustable feet and it's brilliant.

However, before using the ladder I use an Easy Lift Harness because it represents the ultimate in energy saving and productivity.

Even more brilliant!

 

I heard of a gardener chap hedge trimming from a platform. The platform and and the gardener ended up in the clients swimming pool! Wouldn't happen with an ELH.

Can't beat tripod ladders

[nepia]

have a look at Ankalad stabilisers. They attach to a standard ladder and are more stable than tripod ladders.

That said they're a fiddle to open and close and they make the ladder heavier obviously.

One thing you can do with them that you can't do with tripod ladders - as I found recently when I bought the latter - is lean forward and sideways.
