Features
Stable and secure structure: The tripod utilizes a triangular support design, offering exceptional stability during rescue operations. Fixed straps connect the legs, preventing angle expansion and ensuring reliable support throughout the process.
Portable and flexible: The modular design allows the tripod to be compactly folded for easy transport and storage. This enables rapid deployment in emergency situations, minimizing preparation time while conserving space.
High adaptability: Featuring adjustable, non-integrated legs, the tripod can accommodate varying heights and confined spaces. This flexibility addresses the limitations of traditional rescue equipment, making it suitable for diverse and challenging scenarios.
Basic Components
The majority of these rescue tripods are constructed from solid aluminum, which is precision-machined and assembled. This design approach effectively reduces weight while enhancing strength, ensuring durability and reliability during rescue operations.
A-Type Frame Head x1 The A-Type frame head can independently form a bipod with a fixed optimal angle between its two legs. Once connected with an adjustable head using a locking pin, it transforms into the tripod head. The adjustable head allows for flexible angle modification, enhancing adaptability in various rescue scenarios.
Adjustable Head x1 The adjustable head is designed for use with single pole tops. When connected to the A-Type frame head using a locking pin, it functions as the tripod head, offering adjustable angles for enhanced versatility in different rescue scenarios.
Anchor Plate x1 The anchor plate connects to the inner or outer legs using a locking pin. It serves as an additional anchor point to enhance the stability and support of the inner or outer legs during operations.
Tripod Foot with Carbide Tip x3 The stabilizing base is equipped with replaceable carbide tips, ensuring superior grip on hard surfaces. It can be connected to the inner or outer legs using locking pins, providing stability and reliability during operations.
Tripod Flat Foot x3 The flat foot base features a high-friction rubber base, providing superior grip and load-bearing capacity on flat surfaces. They can be connected to the inner or outer legs using locking pins, ensuring stability and reliability during use.
Outer Leg x7 The outer legs are designed for connection with the A-Type frame head, adjustable head, and foot components. They provide structural stability and adaptability, ensuring the tripod's reliability during operations.
Inner Leg x3 The inner legs are designed to connect with the A-Type frame head, adjustable head, and foot components. They are installed within the outer legs, allowing for height adjustments or linking two outer legs for enhanced flexibility and stability.
Head Pin x4 The head pins are used to connect the adjustable head with the A-Type frame head, forming the tripod head. They are also utilized to attach pulleys to the A-Type frame head, enabling the construction of a pulley system for enhanced functionality.
Leg Pin x17 The leg pins are designed for connecting inner and outer legs, as well as attaching the legs to the feet or A-Type frame head. They ensure secure and stable assembly across various components of the system.
Pulley Wheel x2 The pulleys can be connected to the A-Type frame using hex pins, enabling the quick assembly of an elevated pulley system for efficient operations in high-reach scenarios.
Ratchet Strap x1 This strap is designed to secure and stabilize the legs of the tripod. Equipped with a durable ratchet mechanism, it ensures the tripod remains firmly fixed during operations, providing enhanced safety and reliability.
