LiftingSafety "Air or Electric Powered Lifting" Man-Riding Tripod. Lightweight Aluminium Construction (when compared to a Steel equivalent) with Fall Protection and Rescue Options.

Aluminium Tripod with safe working loads of 136kg for man-riding applications and 500kg capacity when used for lifting materials.A materials hoist must be requested as the man riding and rescue hoists cannot be used for lifting materials. Perfect for use in silos or other areas of confined or limited access. The man-riding system comes with electric or air powered access and egress for effortless working heights of up to 60 metres. We supply this system with a 3 phase (415 volt) as fast or medium speed of lift  or as 230 / 110 volt single phase. We also offer options pneumatic motors when an electric power supply is not available.

All powered man riding tripods are supplied with a fall arrest inertia reel with integrated retrieval winch. This provides independent fall arrest protection in case there is a failure of the lifting hoist, secondly it also provides a rescue plan - a means of rescuing the casualty after arresting a fall or in the event of a power failure.

The electric lifting hoist is fully certified for man-riding applications and has a number of unique safety features including:

• Top and bottom limit switches
• Self contained automatic rope reeler (no handling or tangling issues, less chance of accidental damaged.
• Manual emergency descent system to lower the casualty in the event of an emergency / power failure
• Overload alarm that can be factory set to sound / warn at a capacity chosen by the client (only on electric hoist)
• Pendant control with 'dead man' operation
• Emergency manual lifting and lowering handle.
• Choice of electric power supply or use with compressed air.
