CMC TRISKELION Confined Space Tripod
The CMC Triskelion is a full featured industrial rescue tripod that sets a new benchmark for rapid deployment, ease of use, and versatility. With height adjustment from 5.5 ft. – 10 ft working height, certification to NFPA and EN standards, and multiple rigging options, the CMC Triskelion delivers greater safety and efficiency for confined space and industrial rescues.
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”.
The CMC Triskelion’s wide working height range adapts to fit low-clearance areas and extends to haul patients in full-size litters. Triskelion unique features include:
• 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
