Offering advanced functionality, the CMC™ Triskelion™ is a multi-purpose rope rescue device designed for efficient mechanical advantage, lowering, and hauling in demanding rescue operations.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The CMC™ Triskelion™ is a fully featured industrial rescue tripod that sets a new benchmark for rapid deployment, ease of use, and versatility. With its 5.5 – 10 ft working height, certification to NFPA and EN standards, and multiple rigging options, the Triskelion™ delivers greater safety and efficiency for confined space and industrial rescues.
The Triskelion™’s impressive working height range adapts to fit low-clearance areas and extends to haul patients in full-size litters. Unique features include its compatibility with cable and rope up to 13 mm (1/2 in), anchor points for pulley systems, multiple winch mounting options, rectangular legs with built-in stoppers, tethered push pins, high contrast graphics, pivoting feet, quick-connect webbing hobble strap, and reinforced carry bag for single or two-person transport. The Triskelion™ is also supported by thoughtful accessories that enhance its capabilities and make it even easier to use.
The Triskelion™’s modern, user-friendly design increases both the safety and efficiency of each rescue. In the words of CMC School Instructor Doug McElmury, “The Triskelion™ is easily the most user friendly and practical tripod I have used in my 36 years in technical rescue. From the head to the feet, this well-designed tripod shows that CMC listened to what rescuers wanted and made it a reality”.
FEATURES
- Height
- 10ft max working height allows rescuers to haul patients from a confined space using a harness or litter
- 5.5ft min working height facilitates access to low-clearance areas
- Rigging
- Two head-mounted stainless steel pulleys compatible with cable and rope up to 13 mm (1/2 in)
- Three side-plate anchor points ideal for 4:1s like the CSR2 pulley system
- Three tie-off points for additional rigging or stabilization
- Several mounting options for the Harken LokHead Winch and DBI-SALA® Salalift II Winch
- Legs
- Rectangular shape prevents spinning and properly aligns adjustment holes and tripod feet
- Built-in stoppers keep the inner legs from pulling out all the way, allowing full extension without risk of separation
- 4 in leg height increments enable maximum tripod extension in height constricted areas
- Pins
- Legs are secured using large, quick-action, ball-lock push pins that are easily handled with gloves
- Push pins reassuringly snap into place and robust lanyards keep them from getting lost or separated
- Graphics
- High contrast graphics are easy to see in low light
- Leg height numbering is clearly communicated in noisy environments
- Additional icons guide winch installation to align with head-mounted pulleys
- Feet
- Pivoting feet adapt the Triskelion™ to a variety of surfaces and angles
- Feet have non-slip tread for hard floors and spiked tips for soft earth
- Hobble
- Red webbing hobble strap secures all three legs at the base with a single quick-connect Cobra Buckle
- Single webbing strap is lighter than chain and faster than using multiple lengths of material
- Red color is bright and easy to see, drawing attention to the strap and reducing risk of a trip hazard
- Bag
- Includes a reinforced carry bag with a diagram indicating proper orientation for balanced single-person transport
- Easily carried by two people using the end handles, or a single person using the padded center shoulder strap
