Confined Space

Accessing confined space exposes the worker to a number of life-threatening hazards. In the picture above we can see that this worker is vulnerable to a fall, being overcome by fumes or gases or other work related injury. If this occurs, how would the worker be evacuated without exposing other workers to the same hazards? Our confined space access and rescue systems are designed to provide a safe means of accessing a confined space and in the event of an emergency allows rescuers to retrieve the injured or unconscious workers without exposing themselves to similar hazards.

Our Tripod has a cast aluminum head and cast aluminum feet. The legs are square aluminum tubing and are adjustable. The feet have non-slip pads. The aluminum construction allows for ease of portability from one site to another. This tripod comes with a safety chain, and easy to use push-pull pins. The head has two hot-dipped galvanized regular nut eye bolts for attachment of accessories. The tripod has a safe work load of 500 pounds, and has been tested to 5000 pounds. The minimum head height is 4 feet 1 inch. The maximum working height is 7 feet 2 inches.
