A confined space tripod is the anchor point over a manhole or vessel that everything else hangs from: the winches, fall arrest blocks and rescue equipment used to enter and retrieve safely. Our range includes tripods and davit systems, plus the blocks and winches that complete the setup. Held in UK stock for next-day dispatch, with support to specify a full access and rescue system.
