regular intervals.
When using this equipment as a fall arrest
anchor adequate clearance distance should be
ensured for the user to fall into. The following
calculation is a guide: User height + Extension
of lanyard / fall arrest brake distance + safety
margin = 2m + 1.75m + 1m = 4.75m
When lifting do not move load outside the
footprint of the Tripod as this will cause
instability .
Any person or load on the tripod should not be
moved outside off the footprint of the tripod as
this will cause instability.
The tripod height can be adjusted. Each leg

T3 TRIPOD
This Tripod is intended to be used as an anchor point for both fall arrest and for raising and
lowering of equipment and personnel. When used as part of a fall arrest system the tripod is
for one user only and the user will be equipped with means of limiting the maximum dynamic
arrest force to 6kN. The Working Load Limit for this equipment is 250 Kilos (8:1 ratio). Any load
should not be extended beyond the tripod foot print. The Tripod is the basis of a confined
space entry and rescue system. The three overhead pulleys can all accommodate rope up to
11mm diameter. The Tripod is to be used over access holes and is to be used as the anchor
point for systems which enable access, egress and fall protection. All equipment used with the
Tripod must be approved to the relevant standard.
Instructions
Carry out all adjustments to tripod before positioning over the access point.
Erection: Firmly open the legs of the Tripod ensuring that the leg pins lock into position.
To raise the height of the Tripod remove a leg clip, pull out the lower leg and push the leg clip
through the leg location hole in both the upper and lower leg. Repeat on the remaining legs. If
the tripod is being used on an uneven surface the height of each leg may be adjusted to
compensate.
The user must not approach the access point unless wearing a harness and safely anchored.
The documentation issued with this Tripod (user manual and product record card) must be
retained. The record card should have recorded upon it the inspection regime.
CONFORMS TO:
BS EN795:2012 TYPE B
