Tripods, Winch & Fall Arrest Blocks
At Rockall Safety, we supply equipment from manufacturers including Abtech Safety, Globestock, and Ridgegear.
Tripods are portable, foldable anchor points that allow safe access to confined spaces. They provide stability for workers while offering secure attachment for fall arrest equipment.
Winches facilitate safe lifting or lowering of personnel and equipment, reducing physical strain and improving operational efficiency. They are often used in rescue scenarios to safely retrieve individuals from confined spaces.
Fall arrest blocks are self retracting lifelines that automatically lock during a fall, arresting it quickly and minimising impact forces.
If you have any questions about Tripods, Winch & Fall Arrest Blocks, please contact our team at 02920 759 683 or fill in the form here. We would be happy to help you choose the right one for your needs.

FAQs
• 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.
Most tripods have one main overhead anchor point and additional auxiliary anchor points on the head assembly. The exact number depends on the model.
Most standard tripods are rated for a single user only.
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.
