TRIPOD, SKED-EVAC- Bag

Manufactured by Skedco, makers of the Sked^® Stretcher, the Sked-EVAC tripod features aircraft-grade, gold-anodized aluminum legs and a cast-aluminum head. Three heavy-duty rigging anchors, located in the center, have exceptionally large holes for easy attachment. Legs adjust in 13 cm (5 in) increments for a max leg extension of 254 cm (100 in), a maximum height of 3 m (10 ft). Its minimum working height is 1.8 m (6 f)t and its minimum length for transport is 2.1 m (7 ft). The cast ladder feet swivel and come with a choice of a sure-grip rubber pad or a point for embedding in a soft or slippery surface. Holes in the feet allow the tripod to be bolted into position. A safety chain prevents leg movement and adjusts with a screw link. Carrying bag not included – sold separately.
