Shearlegs, Tripods & Quadpods
Lifting tripods are often referred to as shearlegs (Shear legs) and are lightweight and cost-effective, portable lifting solutions that are easily transported between jobs and very quickly set up, ready to be used. A lifting tripod can be fitted with various lifting devices, we can supply it fitted with a wire rope winch/cable hoist or supplied with a traditional hand chain hoist with height of lift to suit your requirements.
Some Tripods come complete with fitted safety chains. These chains prevent the legs from spreading under load, though not all designs need the chains.
At LiftingSafety, we offer capacities ranging from up to 5000kg and height-adjustable versions. Some are made from painted carbon steel and others from lightweight aluminium.
We also manufacture special bespoke tripods, so please feel free to contact us if you need assistance or don’t see an item that meets your lifting equipment requirements.
