Our new tripod range is certified to EN131 – the only tripods on the market in the UK and EU. This means that Henchman ladders go through rigorous testing to meet the standards of The British Standards Institution (BSI). Our ladders are tested by an independent third party, checking their stability, grip, dimensions, labelling and their 150kg working load.
When it comes to EN131 standards, you may see phrases like ‘conforms’, ‘tested’ or ‘built to’ EN131. However, these terms can suggest that the ladder is not fully tested – it could have the right dimensions but the working load may not have been safety tested, for example.
Our Fully Adjustable Tripod Ladder meets the full specification, meaning you can be confident that your Henchman will keep you safe.
If unsure about the quality of a ladder, the EN131 certificate should be available to the public and can be shown to you when asked.
