FallTech Weather-Resistant Tripod Storage Bag
Reinforced nylon storage bag purpose-sized for FallTech confined space tripods. The 70 in size (NL7281) fits the 8 ft tripod (7276 series), and the 80 in size (NL7280) fits the 11 ft tripod (7275).
Carry handles and a full-length zipper closure make loading a collapsed tripod fast, and the weather-resistant shell keeps grit and moisture off the legs, pins, and head sheave between entries.
Protect the Tripod Between Entries
A confined space tripod rides in truck beds and drags across concrete more than almost any other piece of rescue gear. A fitted storage bag keeps the telescoping legs, detent pins, and head sheave clean, protected, and organized so the tripod deploys smoothly when the next permit-required entry opens.
These are the same factory bags FallTech includes in its B-series tripod kits, offered separately for crews that already own a tripod.
Key Features
Reinforced Nylon
Weather-resistant reinforced nylon construction stands up to job site handling.
Full-Length Zipper
The bag opens along its full length, so the collapsed tripod drops in instead of threading in.
Carry Handles
Balanced handles make a one-person carry from the truck to the portal manageable.
Two Fitted Sizes
70 in for the 8 ft tripod (7276 series) and 80 in for the 11 ft tripod (7275).
Keeps Grit Out
A covered tripod keeps dirt out of leg locks and pins, cutting field maintenance.
Kit-Matched
The same bags packed with FallTech B-series tripod kits, available as a replacement or add-on.
A storage bag is not fall protection equipment. It carries no load rating and must never be used as an anchorage, lifting sling, or hoisting attachment. Use it to store and transport the tripod only.
Compliance Standards
No Load Rating
Storage bags are accessories and carry no ANSI or OSHA equipment rating.
Supports Equipment Care
Clean, dry storage supports the manufacturer inspection and maintenance requirements in the tripod manual.
OSHA 1910.146 Programs
Organized, protected rescue gear supports the readiness a permit program depends on.
FallTech Factory Accessory
Made by FallTech to fit FallTech confined space tripods.
Typical Applications
How to Use
No tools or training are required. The overview below covers basic use.
- Collapse the tripod. Retract the telescoping legs, secure the leg pins, and stow the safety chain.
- Load the bag. Open the full-length zipper, lay the tripod in, and close the zipper completely.
- Store it dry. Carry by the handles and store the bag out of direct sun and standing water.
Inspection and Retirement
Check the bag when you inspect the tripod it protects.
- Shell: tears, abrasion, and UV fading.
- Zipper: full travel without separation.
- Handles: stitching intact at all anchor points.
- Interior: dry, free of grit and chemical residue.
Replace the bag when tears or failed stitching let debris reach the tripod. A damaged bag does not affect the tripod rating but stops doing its job.
