The Sked-Evac Tripod extends to ten feet high at the three anchors which are available to clip into. Each of the anchors is anodized red for easy identification, and all are equally well centred to handle a load. The anchors, header and legs are interconnected with stainless steel bolts to provide maximum strength. The header limits the distance the legs can spread.
Tripod
When at full extension the Sked-Evac tripod allows you to bring the patient in a stretcher completely out of the hole. Included with the tripod is a chain which passes through the feet to provide greater strength and stability. The chain will not degrade in acids or chemicals like nylon straps or ropes. The legs are adjustable in 5″ increments. Brackets are available for mounting most popular winches.
Disclaimer: Skedco strongly recommends against attaching “change of direction” pulleys to the feet or legs of the Sked-Evac Tripod or any other tripod as pulling laterally against unsecured tripod legs is dangerous and could lead to injury or death.
There is also available a carrying case for the Sked Evac Tripod SK-701
Also available is the SK-707-B DBI/Sala Lift II Winch bracket for the Sked Evac Tripod.
