RR-408 RS4 Confined-Space Rescue Tripod with Winch

The PGTEC RR-408 RS4 is a free-standing confined-space rescue tripod fitted with a hand-cranked steel winch, designed to provide a secure overhead anchorage for entry and rescue over manholes, sumps, tanks, shafts and other vertical confined-space openings. The tripod is built from three anodised silver aluminium legs with adjustable stainless locking pins, spreading to a stable base and reaching a typical working height of 2.3 m; the head carries a high-grade hand winch with a 20 m galvanised steel cable, a swivel hook and a load brake that holds the load at any crank position. The RS4 is certified to EN 795 for anchor-device use and pairs with an EN 341 rescue winch system so that an entrant can be both lowered into the space and raised out again without secondary rigging. Quick-release leg locks and a folding transport frame let one or two operators erect the tripod on a street or roof in minutes, and the included carrying straps make it portable between sites. The winch is rated for a working load of 140 kg, the steel cable has a minimum breaking strength well above the required 22 kN, and a secondary pulley point on the head allows a second rope system for backup or attendant control. PGTEC supplies the RS4 with anchorage and set-up instructions, an inspection log and a five-year guarantee; it is used by confined-space rescue teams, water and wastewater utilities, chemical plant contractors, tank-entry crews and industrial safety officers who need a dependable, certified overhead anchor for every entry permit.
