What do you use or recommend?

 

Most arb ladders I've seen or used , have been past their best and I'd like to get my own for the odd hedge job I might get to do on my own - so Im after a decent one that can be used as an A frame.

 

Transport will be by car roof rack, so I will be limited in length.

 

Henchman if you want a tripod.

Halo if you want an extension ladder.

Nope I quite like the ones I got, one kf my best arb purchases. They are exceptionally stable as an A frame, light and compact for the roof rack. 10 meters fully extended if I remember correctly, 5 meter as A frame.

 

Only thing I dislike is when using extended with the bottom type sections leaning against a tree

 

But in that example I didnt need the extra height, could have removed the end section. Anyway it worked.

 

The other disadvantage is in the example above, if you had it fully extended, a groundman cant easily lower the upper section without flopping the ladder down to the ground, as the adjuster 12 rungs up in that pic.
