"The highest platform on henchman tripods when extended is 2ft below the ladder spec. 6ft on the 8ft ladder. The legs extend 18" but they're at an angle so you gain 12" height roughly.

"true. another design weibang stole from hayter. hayter have since changed the drive system on the new harriers which started from the 41,s snd now 48/56's and the prostripe 560. Much stronger system and very little to go wrong"
"Agreed - the Hayter and Weibang have a ratchet freewheel inside the roller allowing them the tow halves to rotate (or counter rotate) independently. The KAAZ and variants don't due to the way the roller drives from the middle not allowing it to have…"
"The gearbox engages the drive at the split"
"Oh ok, I'm happy to be wrong but I didn't think they did, not in the same way as weibang Legacy and hayter harriers anyway? "
