The tripod is the basis of a confined space entry and rescue system giving a strong, stable, and portable anchorage point for fall arrest and recovery systems. One worker can carry and erect the sturdy but lightweight aluminium alloy Tripod. For tripod stability, the tripod legs may be individually adjusted. The T3 has 6 anchor points tested to EN795. The 3 overhead pulleys hold up to 11mm rope. The extra anchor points may be used with pulleys for a double roped rescuer, back-up system, airlines, communication lines, medical kits, tool kits etc. Available with a padded carrying bag.
15m Fall Arrest device from the TORQ range. Designed to provide fall protection from falls from height. Anchored above the user, it gives the user a safe area of work. The retracting line pays in and out of the device as the user moves. In the event of a fall a brake engages, arresting the fall of the user with a controlled deceleration force. The AB15RT has an integral winch mechanism, so in the event of a fall, the top man will be able to raise or lower the user to a safe area. Swivel anchor eye on top. Can be mounted onto the Tripod or Davit arm for access and egress from a confined space.
The RGH5 is designed for use as a confined access harness. The front and rear attachment points can be used as standard fall arrest points and the rescue strap can be used for lifting and lowering. When used, the rescue strap keeps the operative in a near vertical position, which is preferred when recovering an unconscious casualty. This harness is used throughout the industry in conjunction with a tripod and a winch unit to access confined spaces, vertical shafts, sewers and silos. As with all of the RidgeGear harnesses, the RGH5 is suitable for use with fall arrest-retrieval blocks.
