I think it would probably handle a triple okay, dependent on what size the rings are in relation to one another. I use an old Suntour Cyclone on my touring bike, and it handles a virtual half-step plus really small granny gear (52-48-22) quite well. If your middle ring is drastically smaller than the large one, this may present a problem and you'd probably be better off with a "mountain" type derailleur.
