The key role and application of rescue rescue tripods in special environments

As the confined space equipment for high-altitude, confined space and complex terrain rescue, the rescue tripod significantly enhances rescue efficiency and safety by providing a stable support platform, achieving vertical lifting and precise positioning. In special environments such as earthquake ruins, mine collapses, landslides, high-rise buildings and underground pipe galleries, its structural stability, modular design and environmental adaptability have become the key guarantees for dealing with complex working conditions.

The key role in special environments

Structural stability and load support

High-strength materials and mechanical design: High-strength alloy steel is adopted, and the rescue tripod structure is optimized through finite element analysis to ensure that it can withstand a load of over 300kg in loose soil, inclined ground or narrow Spaces. For instance, in the rescue of a mine collapse, the rescue tripod needs to support the total weight of the rescue personnel, trapped people and equipment. Its anti-overturning ability directly determines the feasibility of the rescue.

Adjustable outriggers and anti-slip devices: Equipped with a hydraulic or mechanical outrigger adjustment system, it can adapt to different terrain slopes (such as slopes over 20°in mountain rescue operations), and is fixed by anti-slip tooth pads or ground anchors to prevent displacement caused by ground settlement or vibration.

Vertical rescue and precise positioning

Pulley block and rope system: Integrating fixed pulleys, movable pulleys and anti-fall devices to achieve vertical lifting and lowering between rescue personnel and trapped individuals. For instance, in the rescue operation of high-rise building fires, reduce the operating force and use anti-fall devices to prevent secondary falls.

Adjustable boom and Angle locking: Some rescue tripods are equipped with telescopic booms or rotating booms (such as ±90°adjustment for rescue angles), which are suitable for lateral offset positioning in underground rescue or steep slope operations in mountain rescue.

Environmental adaptability and multi-functional integration

Anti-corrosion and weather resistance: The surface is treated with anodic oxidation or spraying, which is suitable for humid, salt spray or chemically corrosive environments (such as rescue operations on offshore platforms).

Typical Application Scenarios

Mine and underground space rescue

Scene description: After the mine collapse, the space in the tunnel is narrow and the ventilation is poor. The trapped people are located in the collapse area with a vertical depth of 15 meters.

Function of rescue tripod:

It is erected in the tunnel with a diameter of 1.5 meters through extendable outriggers, and the outriggers are embedded in the rock wall for fixation.

Equipped with explosion-proof lighting and gas detectors, it provides a safe passage for rescue personnel.

In coordination with the winch and stretcher system, the trapped person is lifted vertically to the ground.

High-rise buildings and cliff rescue

Scene description: Tourists lost their feet and fell at the edge of a 30-meter-high cliff and were trapped in the narrow crevices of the rock.

Function of rescue tripod:

It is set up at the top of the cliff, and the outriggers are fixed to the rock cracks through ground anchors.

Equipped with a remote-controlled electric winch, the rescue personnel descend to the position of the trapped person and use the rope system of the rescue tripod to perform lateral traction.

Lift the stretcher vertically to the safe area by adjusting the Angle of the boom.

Rescue of water and ice surfaces

Scene description: The ice surface collapsed, causing people to fall into the water. The water temperature is close to 0℃, and rapid rescue is required.

Function of rescue tripod:

Set up at the edge of the ice surface and install anti-skating claws at the bottom of the outriggers.

Equipped with a buoyancy stretcher and waterproof ropes, the drowning person is pulled vertically out of the water through a pulley block.

Cooperate with the thermal imager to locate the trapped person and avoid blind search.
