Arachnipod Print E-mail

The Arachnipod is an innovative design that captures multi-functional capabilities. Simplicity and robust engineering provide the world's most versatile total edge management system (TEMS).

Components can be added or removed as required so that the Arachnipod compliments existing structural or natural features.

It's versatility makes it an ideal system for workers in industries such as:
  • Rescue & emergency services
  • Construction
  • Utility services such as water, power & telecommunications
  • Mining
  • Maintenance

Arachnipod as standard Tripod

This tripod configuration also appears in the tripod section of confined spaces.

The tripod is a self-supporting device providing quick and
easy access to confined space entry points such as manholes
and voids.

A unique feature of the Arachnipod is that if 'flat packs' for
convenient storage, yet is quick and easy to set up. The system
can be used with either a winch retrieval system or a mechanical
advantage system or both.

Arachnipod Tripod as High Directional System

This Arachnipod can be used as a high directional frame to support

remote mechanical advantage hauling systems.

Tripod heads should be guyed with the D-shackles to remote
anchor points for additional stabilisation.

Arachnipod as Quadpod System

 

The Quadpod allows greater versatility and stability of the system when using
round larger entry areas of confiend spaces.

These include small trenched areas, convex surfaces and larger circular
openings where a conventionaltripod will not facilitate the application.

When setting up the system, a quad plate is to be used for forming the head shape.

Arachnipod as a Bridge System

This is a feature unique to the Arachnipod. The bridge is used for spanning larger 

openings or voids where a regular tripod, A-frame or quadpod would not be able
to, such as trenches, large holes, mines and lift shafts.

It comes as a complete item with trolley, trolley guide, rope and heads ready to
attach two legs on each end. There is also a tie bar on one end for use with an
English Reeve system. However, a remote brake mechanical advantage system
can be also attached directly to the trolley.

Standard bridge kit lengths: 2m, 3m, 4m
