Description
Groxx Tripod | GGTPD047 Confined Space Entry & Rescue System
The Groxx GGTPD047Â is a professional-grade, high-strength aluminum tripod designed for safe access and rescue operations in confined spaces. Combining a lightweight telescopic design with a heavy-duty load capacity, it provides a stable overhead anchorage point for personnel lifting, lowering, and fall arrest applications.
Key Features & Performance
-
Integrated Pulley System: Features double integral head-mounted pulleys permanently incorporated into the cast aluminum head, allowing for the simultaneous routing of winch and retrieval block cables.
-
Universal Mounting Interface: Every unit comes pre-installed with universal mounting attachments, enabling the rapid and secure attachment of Groxx Winches and Self-Retracting Lifelines (Retrieval Blocks).
-
Superior Stability: The steel support-feet are equipped with specialized rubber soles to maximize friction on various ground surfaces, further secured by an industrial-grade alloy steel chain to prevent leg splaying.
-
Telescopic Adjustability: Offers a versatile working height ranging from 1176mm (at an 800mm radius) to 1936mm (at a 1200mm radius), allowing for deployment in restricted overhead environments.
-
Corrosion Protection: The aluminum legs are both powder-coated and anodized, while the cast head is ED-coated (Electrophoretic Deposition) in black for maximum durability against the elements.

The Groxx Advantage
The GGTPD047Â is engineered for the rigors of industrial rescue. By integrating the pulleys directly into the cast head, Groxx eliminates the need for external carabiners and pulleys, reducing the “stack height” and maximizing the available headroom for the worker and rescue stretcher. It is an essential component for telecommunications, utility maintenance, and industrial tank entry.
