SRTE Tripod
When SRTE designed the SRTE Tripod, maximum clearance after rigging (hauling equipment and stretcher) was the priority. As lowanchor points are the most common problem with Tripods on the market, making extrication of a patient in a stretcher awkward.
SRTE TRIPOD FEATURES
• Head
• Prevent legs from spreading
• Decorative supports little/no load
• Prevents objects from being dropped or wedge in the hollow legs
•
ANCHOR POINTS
• Three (3) separate anchor points
• Anodised RED for easy identification
• Set high on the Head (protecting cap) for maximum clearance
• Legs
• Individually extend (on uneven surfaces set each leg at different levels)
• Interconnected through Head, prevents failure
• Height adjustment points numbered
• Feet
• Individually adjusted for various surfaces
• Rubber grip sole
• Bolt/Peg holes incorporated in foot
• Extra Security
• Extruded aluminium body anodised for corrosion protection
• 4000kg Bolts, Stainless Lynch pins, Stainless ‘R’ clips
• A 900kg Rope and Ascender also prevent the legs from spreading (relieves pressure from head)
Additional anchoring was also a major factor in the design, both on the head and on the feet. The head for safely separating the patient, rescuers and backup lines and the feet for safety stabilising the tripod preventing creeping/slipping.
