Where to begin

SAFETY FIRST

Our product is very stable when used as intended; however, for your safety, we wish to point out the usage limitations of our product. Although we build our ladders with the finest materials and workmanship, we recognize that this ladder has limited uses.

As with any task, there is the right tool for the job at hand. The Tripod Orchard Ladder is designed for orchard and landscape maintenance use, where it is used on soil or turf-type surfaces.

The feet and pole of the Tripod Ladder do not have rubber feet and cannot be used on hard surfaces such as floors, concrete, pavement, or similar surfaces.

This design allows the user to place the pole through a tree or hedge, allowing them to position the ladder closer to their work.

There also is not a spreader bar or chain between the main frame of the ladder and the third leg (pole) to keep it from spreading. All three points that come in contact with the ground depend on slight penetration of the turf or soil to remain stable.

Safety Requirements

Follow These Important Safety Practices

The following safety information appears on every Tallman ladder and should be reviewed before use. Understanding these guidelines helps ensure safe operation and proper ladder performance.
