At Malta Dynamics, we know that work at heights is just part of the world of hazards that exist for fall protection, sometimes the fall hazard happens in a confined space or below the ground level. This fall hazard scenario is an important factor to consider when preparing for fall protection precautions. The use of tripods and winches allows for a worker to be raised or lowered to safety within a confined space or below the surface of the ground.
Tripods accommodate a variety of fall arrest devices and winches. When you rent a tripod from Malta Dynamics, we offer two options for standard use with our rental tripod units.
Confined Space Rescue Tripod.
The 7' Confined Space Rescue Tripod serves as the overhead anchor point for every confined space operation. Aluminum telescoping legs allow fast setup over any opening big enough for a person, supporting one worker up to 310 lbs. Certified to ANSI Z359.18, it anchors your entire confined space system in place, providing a secure access point and enhancing safety.
