A tripod hoist is a versatile and portable lifting device that provides a safe and stable platform for various environments and tasks. Its utility extends far beyond a traditional business facility, making it an essential piece of equipment for many operations. At Protek Crane Solutions, an accredited Better Business Bureau business, we offer an extensive inventory of tripod hoists, perfect for challenging environments, including Bins, Conexes, and other large containers; maintenance access points; construction sites and other outdoor operations; and small engine shops and light industrial assembly areas.
Featured Tripod Hoist: SPANCO ATA-04-1309M
For these demanding tasks, the SPANCO ATA-04-1309M is an excellent choice. This high-quality aluminum tripod boasts a corrosion-resistant finish that withstands extreme weather, significantly extending its lifespan both indoors and outdoors. It is engineered to handle a substantial 4,000 lbs (two-ton) load for extended periods without stressing or damaging the legs.
Dependable Support on Uneven Ground
Among its most valuable features are the Adjustable Mud Feet. These legs can be individually adjusted from 8’7” to 13'9”, providing dependable and stable support on almost any uneven ground. Crucially, they can support the full 4,000 lbs (two tons) capacity for extended hours, ensuring safety and reliability throughout your entire workday.
Pairing with a Manual Hoist: The Harrington CB020
The capabilities of your business grow exponentially when you pair a tripod hoist with a reliable manual chain hoist. One of the most rugged and versatile choices in our inventory is the Harrington CB020 Hand Chain Hoist. This hoist is ideal for use with the SPANCO tripod. Key features of the CB020 include: Carbon steel hooks for durability; Weighs only 31 lbs for easy, one-person installation and removal; Capable of lifting and lowering loads of up to 4,000 lbs (two tons) with a standard twenty-foot lift; Features a Weston brake for secure load holding; and is Equipped with a Grade 100 load chain for superior strength and longevity. The CB020, when fully retracted, has a remarkably short 14 ¾-inch distance between hooks. This feature is particularly valuable when lowering personnel and equipment into utility holes and other underground access points, as it allows the operator to maximize the available lifting and lowering distance.
A Note on Capacity Matching
Always ensure that you match the capabilities of your manual hoist to the capacity of your tripod. For instance, attempting to use a three-ton-capable manual hoist on a tripod that only supports two tons is dangerous. Doing so will likely damage the tripod, potentially the manual hoist, and critically, compromise the safety of your workload and personnel. Never exceed the lowest-rated component in your lifting system.
