The Sked-Evac Tripod extend to 3 meters (10 feet) high at the three anchor points which are equi-distant from the centre.
Each of the anchors are anodised red for easy identification. The anchors, header and legs are interconnected with 1/2″ stainless steel bolts for maximum strength.
The Header limits the distance the legs can spread. When at full extension, the Sked Evac Tripod allows a patient on a stretcher to be completely extracted out of the hole and is rated to handle an NFPA rescue load. The Tripod comes with a chain which passes through the feet to provide greater strength and stability. The chain will not degrade in chemicals or acids like nylon straps or ropes. The legs are adjustable in 5″ increments and Skedco provides safe working load data for each tripod height on each tripod. Brackets are available for mounting most popular winches.
