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 an A-Frame
Order Code: TBA
A conventional or off set A-frame can be easily constructed by removing one of the tripod legs.
The A-frame can be used in situations where a high directional is required for high lines, or in confined spaces where the area is not big enough to accommodate conventional systems such as the tripod.

Arachnipod as Handrail Recovery Monopole
Order Code: TBA
A practice for raising a person or rescue stretcher over an edge is to use the handrail as the artificial high directional. The handrail may not be designed to take the load and it also adds alot of friction to the haul.

Arachnipod as a Gin Pole
Order Code: TBA
The Gin Pole or monopole is ideal for use where there is not enough room for an A-frame or tripod. The lazy leg converts to a gin pole by attaching the gin head to the leg assembly.
The gin pole is also used as a separate component of a comlex high directional system or an additional attachment point in a high line system.

Arachnipod as a Sideways A-Frame using Pulley Head
Order Code: TBA
This configuration is ideal for situations which require a high-directional, protruding past an edge such as cliffs, high-rise buildings and bridges. Using one standard head and one pulley head introduces as an in-built high directional pulley for ease of use during rescue operations.
An optional rigging plate should be used to provide additional tie-off points for stabilising the frame.

Arachnipod as an A-Frame with Lazy Leg and Reverse Head
Order Code: TBA
By using the lazy leg, the quad plate and the reverse head, an A-frame can be braced against a solid object. The reverse head has a 16mm stainless steel D-shackle to attach live loads which position the load directly in the centre of the legs. The lazy leg can also act as a compression member during use. The lazy leg can be doubled up as a gin pole with the correct attachments.
