AIRSHORE Struts and Accessories for Rescue
Tripod Assembly:
1. Three angle joints ART-C45 are placed with their function sur-
face onto the ART-H head plate and are locked and secured
with the safety pin.
2. One angle joint each is placed with its function surface onto the
individual base plates ART-BPB12 and also locked and secured
with the safety pin.
3. The ART struts F7-11 are set onto the mounting head of the
angle joints in the head plate together with the support tube
and are secured by locking the strut. The support tubes must
be positioned so that the air connections point sideways or
outward.
4. The base plates are set onto the piston with the attachment pla-
te pointing outward and are secured by locking the piston.
The tripod can be manually or pneumatically adjusted in
height. The maximum authorized positive operating pressure
is 2.5 bar. A control mechanism, a filling hose and the hose set
for the tripod or high strength column are required for adjus-
ting the height pneumatically.
The Airshore Tripod can be used for shaft, height and trench
rescue for instance. You can combine the set with a rope
winch set, for example, to abseil from buildings or to climb
into sewer manholes. This set must be ordered separately.
