With identical components, a light monopod, an all-round bipod and a Tripod for the rescue from crevasses can be assembled.
The Monopod is the lightest of the three.
It can be used to overcome rock-edges, etc. when good anchoring space is available.
The Bipod is primarily designed for rock- and canyoning
- terrain. It can be set up at all, especially at difficult anchoring situations.
The Bipod provides an unob-structed and friction - free run of the rope over
rock-edges and rough terrain. The additional plus: It allows a smooth lifting
of a stretcher,etc. over the edge.
The Tripod is mainly applied for the rescue from
creva-sses. Due to its low weight, it can be transported to the crevasse by
foot. It allows a lowering of the rescuer centrally in the crevasse and a
sparing lifting of the injured. Thanks to the adjustable connector, the posi-tion
of the rescuer in the crevasse can be changed at any point of the action.
The Tripod can be completely pivoted in for an easy overcoming of the edge
at the beginning and the end of the action.
The use of carbon fibre provides an extreme force bearing capacity gives an unmatched weight to stren-gth ratio. The carbon fibre tube is custom made, using a specific process in which the single fibres are laid in the direction of the maximum stress. Due to this, maximum stress resistance of every single tube is guaranteed.
Head- and foot fittings from high-strength
aluminum alloy, and stainless foot joints stand for outsanding stability and
ruggedness. The head roll with double ballbearings and four guide-rolls minimize
the rope-friction.
Mono- Bi- and Tripod can be operated either with a belay device and a teampull
or an externally positioned winch for lowering and lifting of rescuer and
victim.
For transport reasons, the carbon struts can be divi-ded into two halfes. Thzus, the maximum transport length is 120 cm. A transport bag is part of the package.
Monopod, bipod and tripod are delivered with comprehensive instruction and training manuals.
The static strength of the monopod is tested by the state authorized Testing Institute for Mechanical Engineering Innsbruck according to EN 795.
