The CMC TRISKELION™ Tripod is a fully featured industrial rescue tripod engineered to provide exceptional versatility, rapid deployment, and user-friendly operation for confined space, industrial, and technical rescue applications. With an adjustable working height from 5.5 to 10 feet, multiple rigging options, integrated pulleys, and certifications to both NFPA and EN standards, the TRISKELION™ sets a new benchmark for rescue tripod performance and efficiency.
Designed with direct input from rescue professionals, the TRISKELION™ combines innovative features with rugged construction to improve both safety and operational effectiveness. Its wide working height range accommodates low-clearance environments while still providing sufficient clearance for hauling personnel in harnesses or full-size litters. Integrated pulleys, multiple anchor points, winch mounting options, pivoting feet, and high-visibility markings make the system adaptable to a wide variety of rescue and access scenarios. The included carry bag, hobble strap, and leg strap ensure the tripod is ready for deployment whenever and wherever it is needed.
