CMC Triskelion Tripod (760001)
_
The CMC Triskelion is the first industrial rescue tripod certified to NFPA standards and the new benchmark for rapid deployment, ease of use, and versatility. With its 5.5-10 ft working height, additional CE certifications, and accessible features, 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”.

Triskelion 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
