QAN75RA-US Patriot Confined Space Quadpod with 3-Way Retrieval, Made in USA
The Frontline QAN75RA-US is a Patriot confined space quadpod - a four-legged retrieval frame for openings where a tripod's three legs will not straddle the hole. Ideal where the use of a tripod is impractical, it sets up in seconds with no tools and can be erected by one person.
Made in the USA, it carries a 3-way retrieval SRL that arrests a fall and lets the attendant raise or lower the worker for non-entry rescue. The four-leg stance spans wider, rectangular, and off-center openings that defeat a tripod. Built to OSHA 1910.146 and ANSI Z359.
Who Needs This Product
This product is a confined space quadpod retrieval system for openings a tripod cannot span. Confined space teams use it for entry support and non-entry rescue. It requires a full body harness and a written, practiced rescue plan to form a complete program.
Features
Reaches openings a tripod cannot
The four legs straddle wide, rectangular, and off-center holes where a three-leg frame has nowhere to stand.
Rescue without entry
The retrieval block lifts or lowers a fallen worker so the attendant never has to climb in after them.
Steady lifting point
The wide stance keeps the overhead retrieval point stable through a full raise or lower.
Matched and ready
It ships with the 3-way retrieval SRL, so the frame and the rescue block arrive as one kit.
Fits tanks, vaults, and pits
Sized for the large and irregular permit-space openings that a tripod cannot cover.
Moves with the crew
It sets up and breaks down by hand, so one team can carry it between openings across a site.
