Pure Safety Group recently introduced the Checkmate TR3 Tripod. The tripod features an innovative new crown-and-foot design that makes it stronger yet more lightweight than other tripods.
The TR3's legs lock in the open position automatically during use, easily disengage for folding and are adjustable for proper height with captive pins, which are secured to the tripod using PVCcoated keeper wires. The tripod's pivoting spiked feet and rubber soles allow for its use on soft or hard surfaces. Its anti-splay webbing prevents the tripod legs from splaying under a load.
The tripod's maximum single-user weight for fall arrest with one operator is 310 pounds. When used in assisted rescue, the tripod has a maximum combined capacity load of 620 pounds for workers and 550 pounds for carrying goods. The tripod meets OSHA standards, exceeds ANSI standards and will be Canadian Standards Association-certified.
