3-Way Recovery SRL Bracket
The Malta Dynamics 3-Way Recovery SRL Bracket mounts a confined space rescue and retrieval winch to a standard Malta Dynamics tripod, giving a crew both fall protection and bi-directional winching from a single setup. With the winch bracketed to the tripod, a rescuer can raise or lower a worker to a safe level during a recovery.
The bracket is built from steel plating in a durable unibody design with a pre-cut slot sized for the rescue and retrieval winch, and it secures to the tripod with an attached, captive locking pin. Engineered for a reliable connection between the tripod and winch, the 3-Way Recovery SRL Bracket is the mounting link in a confined space rescue and retrieval kit.
Who Needs This Product
The 3-Way Recovery SRL Bracket is for crews running confined space rescue and retrieval operations with a tripod-based system. It is the mounting bracket that connects a rescue and retrieval winch to a standard Malta Dynamics tripod so the same setup can provide fall protection and bi-directional winching. This is the bracket only; it is used with a compatible tripod, a rescue and retrieval winch, and the rest of a confined space rescue kit.
Features
Bi-directional winching

Captive locking pin
An attached locking pin secures the bracket to the tripod without loose parts to drop or lose.
Pre-cut winch slot
A pre-cut slot is sized to mount the rescue and retrieval winch securely to the tripod.
Tripod compatible
