3 Legged Laddder

Yeah I know, I've only seen them in the apple orchards around here, never seen em' used on a jobsite.

To the people out there that own them, how does the cost compare to lets say to a standard 6'. Should be cheaper right Werner has one less leg to make at the factory.

From looking at Industrial Ladders website. The tripods are about double the price of a 4 legged ladder in heights 8' and under. In the 10 and 12 foot heights they are about $100 more. Comparing the FTP 3 legged models to the 6200 series 4 legged models, both 300lb type IA rated. There is also the cheaper 6100 series 4 legged models, 300lb type IA rated, but the 6200 model looks more comparable and the models numbers seem to say that.

6' 6206 $83
6' FTP6206 $179

8' 6208 $111
8' FTP6208 $213

10' 6210 $174
10' FTP6210 $274

12' 6212 $224
12 FTP6212 $314

I use one of the Little Giant 3-leg Ultrastep fiberglass ladders and love it. I can get it into places where a standard ladder will be twice as far from the wall and less stable. The Little Giant adjusts from 5' to 8' in 1 foot increments and the 3rd leg adjusts independently which is great for stairs. The fit and finish of the Little Giant ladders is better by far than any similar ladder and over time it will hold up to use and abuse much better than cheaper versions.

Also like their switchblade ladder that folds for use like a normal step ladder or can be straightened to make a very light weight 10' "extension" ladder which is usually long enough to get up on most single story roofs.

Yep.

They can't be beat for uneven terrain. Great for tree trimming and fruit picking. Mine are aluminum. And OSHA doesn't like them, they can kiss my

Wow! $200 for a 6 ft ladder! I have a 6 ft fiberglass twin front step ladder that never gets used, but it was a gift. It sells for about $200 also.
