FAQs

What are tripods, winches, and fall arrest blocks used for?

• Tripods provide a stable anchorage point for confined space access, fall protection, and rescue. They position over openings like manholes.


• Winches allow controlled lowering/raising of personnel or equipment during confined space entry and rescue.


• Fall arrest blocks lock to arrest a fall and often include a retrieval feature for casualty rescue.

How many anchor points does a tripod typically have?

Most tripods have one main overhead anchor point and additional auxiliary anchor points on the head assembly. The exact number depends on the model.

Can more than one person use a tripod at the same time?

Most standard tripods are rated for a single user only.

How does a fall arrest block work?

A fall arrest block contains an internal braking mechanism that activates when it detects sudden acceleration caused by a fall. This mechanism stops the lifeline and limits the fall distance.
