RGR1 Tripod

RidgeGear RGR1 Aluminium Tripod

The RGR1 is portable, lightweight and is easy to erect on site. It has adjustable lower and middle legs at 80mm intervals to adapt and adjust to uneven surfaces and varying ground conditions. There are 2 additional anchorage points (SWL 200kg each) on the underside of the head for additional primary/secondary systems.

This unit has many applications such as confined access, entry, egress, rescue, retrieval, manholes, silos & trenches, etc.

The RGR1 is extremely versatile and is recommended for use with the side attachment of the RGR7 rescue winch or the RGA4 fall arrest & rescue block.

RideGear RGR7 Winch

RidgeGear RGR7 Rescue Winch

The RGR7 is fitted with an up/down clutch locking mechanism. Manufactured from steel with a baked enamel finish, the RGR7 has a 50cm per handle turn allowing for rapid retrieving/lowering of cable. This unit has many applications such as confined space entry, manholes and chemical vessels, etc.

The operative can be winched up or down to safety almost immediately. As most rescue systems lower the casualty, the RGR7 can raise the operative to safe area, if the area below is unsuitable.

The RGR7 is most commonly fitted to the RGR1 tripod for use in the confined access industry, as it can lower a worker into an area where no ladders are fitted.

The RGR 7 has a working length of 50 metres.

The RGA4 is a three way retrieval block fitted with an up/down winch mechanism and the standard fall arrest capability. This unit can be used as a standard fall arrest block, but in the event of a fall, the operative can be winched up or down to safety almost immediately. As most rescue systems lower the casualty, the RGA4 can raise the operative to safe area, if the area below is unsuitable.

The RGA4 can also be fitted to the RGR1 tripod for use in the confined access industry, as it can lower a worker into an area where no ladders are fitted.

The RGA4 has a working length of 15 metres.
