Quad-Frame, 13W-27L-14H-2R-2A-RM | Tuff Built

The Tuff Built 70763 Quad-Frame system is designed for safe lifting lowering and rescuing personnel in hazardous or confined spaces where access is difficult and safety is critical. The quad-frame offers greater stability than other designs and the winch system ensures that workers can be raised or lowered securely and precisely during rescue or maintenance tasks. The two anchor points provide additional safety by offering multiple secure connection points for lifelines ropes or safety harnesses.

Key Features:

• Quad-Frame Design:

  • The quad-frame features four angled legs and a horizontal crossbeam creating a stable and rigid structure. This frame design is ideal for rescue and fall protection operations because it distributes the weight evenly providing a solid base that minimizes the risk of tipping or shifting during use.

  • The extra leg stability makes this model a better option for high-stakes rescues and situations where additional stability is required.

• Dimensions:

  • 13W (Width): The 13 inches of width across the base of the frame offers a solid foundation while maintaining maneuverability in tight spaces.

  • 27L (Length): The 27 inches in length provides an extended base for better load distribution and increased stability especially when lifting or lowering personnel or equipment in dynamic environments.

  • 14H (Height): With a height of 14 feet the frame provides ample vertical clearance to safely lower or raise workers or equipment from confined spaces elevated platforms or hard-to-reach locations.

• 2R (2 Rescue):

  • 2R indicates that this model is designed specifically for rescue operations and can safely accommodate the lifting and lowering of two individuals or multiple personnel during emergency operations.

  • It is perfect for multi-person rescues where more than one individual may need to be lowered or evacuated at once making it especially useful in industrial settings construction sites or confined space environments.

• 2A (2 Anchor Points):

  • 2A refers to the inclusion of two anchor points for attaching lifelines ropes or safety harnesses. These anchor points allow for redundant safety connections providing a backup if one connection point fails.

  • Having two anchor points is essential in high-risk scenarios where the safety of personnel is a priority ensuring they are securely attached during lifting lowering or rescue operations.

• RM (Rescue Model):

  • RM designates this system as a Rescue Model indicating that it is specifically designed for rescue operations. The Tuff Built 70763 Quad-Frame is a reliable choice for emergency responders safety teams or industrial professionals who need to access confined spaces or perform high-risk rescues.

• Heavy-Duty Construction:

  • Built from high-strength materials such as steel or aluminum the Tuff Built 70763 Quad-Frame is designed to withstand the stresses of lifting and rescue operations in demanding environments.

  • It is corrosion-resistant ensuring long-term durability and reliability even when exposed to harsh weather conditions or industrial environments.

• Portability:

  • Despite its robust construction the system is designed to be portable allowing for quick setup and easy transportation to various work sites or emergency locations.

  • The frame can be disassembled or collapsed for storage and transportation making it a convenient tool for both rescue teams and industrial workers.

Common Uses:

• Confined Space Rescue:

  • The Tuff Built 70763 Quad-Frame is ideal for use in confined space rescues such as removing personnel from manholes tanks silos or pits. The winch system allows workers to be lowered or raised in a controlled and secure manner minimizing risk during the rescue process.

• Fall Protection in Construction:

  • In construction environments the quad-frame can be used as part of a fall protection system. Workers performing tasks at height (e.g. on scaffolding roofs or elevated platforms) can be safely secured to the anchor points to prevent falls while the winch system allows for safe descent or evacuation.

• Industrial Safety and Maintenance:

  • For industrial safety and maintenance tasks this system provides safe access to elevated platforms or confined areas. It is particularly useful for equipment inspection repairs or routine maintenance in challenging or hazardous environments.

• Rescue Operations:

  • The Tuff Built 70763 Quad-Frame is designed to be used in rescue operations particularly when multiple personnel need to be safely retrieved or evacuated from hazardous or difficult-to-reach locations. The dual anchor points and quad-frame stability make it a reliable option for emergency response teams and first responders.

Specifications:

• Dimensions:

  • Width: 13 inches (providing stability and mobility)

  • Length: 27 inches (increasing the base for better support and load distribution)

  • Height: 14 feet (allowing for sufficient vertical clearance during rescue or work positioning)

• Material:

  • High-strength steel or aluminum for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.

• Weight Capacity:

  • The system is designed to handle significant weight typically supporting several hundred pounds (exact weight capacity depends on configuration). This allows for safe lifting and lowering of multiple personnel or heavy equipment.

• Anchor Points:

  • Two anchor points for attaching lifelines ropes or winches. These anchor points ensure secure attachment improving safety during confined space rescues fall protection or work positioning.

Safety Considerations:

• Regular Inspection:

  • The system should be inspected regularly for any signs of wear or damage. This includes checking the anchor points winch and frame structure for corrosion cracks or any other issues that could affect performance.

• Proper Setup:

  • Ensure that the quad-frame is set up on stable level ground to ensure that it remains secure during lifting or lowering operations.

  • The anchor points should be properly secured to fall protection gear winches or rescue ropes before use.

• Training:

  • Personnel should be trained in confined space entry rescue operations and fall protection. They should also be familiar with how to use the system’s winch and anchor points safely.
