Aluminum Orchard Ladders with Telescoping Leg, 10' 12' 14' & 16'

An orchard ladder is to the arborist what an extension ladder is to the electrician. And the difference in the two is almost as significant, for the orchard ladder balances on uneven ground beyond anything made possible by two- or four-legged ladders! The genius behind this stability can be traced back to the invention of the three-legged stool. Since the dawn of furniture, it’s been known that three legs give superior balance to stools that must cope with uneven surfaces (such as floors). In short, with one leg on a bump and the other in a dip, the third leg acts as a prop, nullifying the possibility of teetering, as occurs with a fourth leg.

For tree trimming, you can free-stand the ladder under a canopy to access up to 20 vertical feet, and that’s before inclusion of a pole pruner or saw! Or you can prop the orchard ladder with its wide stance against trunks with even the most horrendous root surface. Got any stories about trying that with an extension ladder? With small trees and shrubs, you can gently poke the third leg through the foliage or fold it over the canopy, allowing access over the plant in a fashion possible only with this three-legged giant. By customer request, we have a telescoping leg available for ladder use on steeper terrain.
