Quad-Frame, 19W-27L-20H-2R-2A-RM | Tuff Built

The Tuff Built 70779 Quad-Frame is designed to handle heavy-duty rescue operations while ensuring maximum safety and stability. It features a quad-frame design that distributes weight evenly providing extra load-bearing capacity compared to traditional tripods or A-frame systems. With the inclusion of a winch system and two anchor points it is ideal for use in high-risk environments confined spaces and elevated locations. The quad-frame offers more stability during lifting and lowering operations making it an essential tool for fall protection and personnel rescue.

Key Features:

• Quad-Frame Design:

  • The quad-frame design consists of four legs creating a rectangular base that ensures a solid and stable platform. This increased stability makes it more suitable for heavy lifting and rescue operations than traditional tripod systems.

  • The four-legged structure offers enhanced load distribution and balance which is crucial when performing high-risk rescues or lifting personnel or equipment in hazardous conditions.

• Dimensions:

  • 19W (Width): The width of 19 inches offers an adequate base for the quad-frame to remain stable and securely support personnel and equipment. The wider base helps to distribute weight and provides better balance during rescue operations.

  • 27L (Length): The length of 27 inches gives the frame additional support and stability ensuring the system is steady even during challenging lifting or lowering operations.

  • 20H (Height): The height of 20 feet provides the necessary vertical clearance to safely lower or raise personnel allowing access to confined spaces or elevated platforms. This height makes the system ideal for rescue operations in large industrial or construction sites where higher clearance is needed.

• 2R (2 Rescue):

  • The 2R feature indicates that this system is built for rescue operations capable of handling the lifting and lowering of two individuals simultaneously. This is critical when multiple workers need to be rescued or evacuated in an emergency situation such as a confined space or high-altitude rescue.

• 2A (2 Anchor Points):

  • 2A means the system includes two anchor points which are essential for ensuring the safety of personnel during lifting or lowering operations. The anchor points are used to attach lifelines ropes or winches providing multiple secure connection points for redundancy.

  • Having two anchor points significantly enhances safety by ensuring that even if one connection point fails the other will continue to provide support and secure attachment for workers.

• RM (Rescue Model):

  • RM stands for Rescue Model highlighting that this frame is specifically designed for rescue operations in emergency or high-risk situations. Whether workers are being rescued from confined spaces or elevated positions the Tuff Built 70779 Quad-Frame is engineered for optimal performance under extreme conditions.

• Heavy-Duty Construction:

  • The Tuff Built 70779 Quad-Frame is made from high-strength materials such as steel or aluminum ensuring that it is durable and capable of handling the stresses of lifting lowering and rescue operations.

  • The materials are also corrosion-resistant making it suitable for use in outdoor environments construction sites or industrial applications where exposure to the elements is a concern.

• Portability:

  • Despite its heavy-duty construction the system is designed to be portable and easy to transport to various work sites or emergency locations. The quad-frame can be easily assembled or disassembled providing flexibility in deployment and ensuring quick setup in rescue situations.

Common Uses:

• Confined Space Rescue:

  • The Tuff Built 70779 Quad-Frame is ideal for confined space rescues such as retrieving personnel from manholes tanks silos or pits. The winch system allows workers to be safely lowered into and raised out of hazardous spaces while the quad-frame design ensures stability and control during rescue operations.

• Fall Protection in Construction:

  • In construction or industrial environments the Tuff Built 70779 Quad-Frame is used for fall protection. Workers performing tasks at height (such as roofing scaffolding or elevated work platforms) can be securely anchored to the system using lifelines or safety harnesses while the winch ensures a safe descent or evacuation if needed.

• Industrial Safety and Maintenance:

  • The system can be used in industrial settings for maintenance or inspection of high or hard-to-reach areas such as elevated platforms roofs or towers. The adjustable height and stability of the frame make it a useful tool for workers who need to perform tasks in risky environments or tight spaces.

• Rescue Operations:

  • Whether it's a construction emergency confined space accident or hazardous material spill the Tuff Built 70779 Quad-Frame is designed for rescue operations. The dual anchor points and quad-frame stability allow for quick safe extraction or evacuation of multiple personnel from dangerous locations.

Specifications:

• Dimensions:

  • Width: 19 inches (solid base to ensure stability during operations)

  • Length: 27 inches (provides ample support and load distribution)

  • Height: 20 feet (provides the required vertical clearance for lifting and lowering personnel)

• Material:

  • High-strength steel or aluminum construction for durability and load-bearing capacity.

  • Corrosion-resistant coating ensures the system withstands exposure to environmental elements.

• Weight Capacity:

  • The system is built to handle heavy loads supporting several hundred pounds. This allows the system to safely lift or lower personnel or equipment during rescue or confined space operations.

• Anchor Points:

  • The system includes two anchor points providing redundant secure connections for lifelines ropes and winches which are critical for rescue and fall protection operations.

Safety Considerations:

• Routine Inspections:

  • The system must be regularly inspected to ensure it is in optimal condition. Check for signs of wear corrosion or damage especially on the anchor points winch and frame structure.

• Proper Setup:

  • The Tuff Built 70779 Quad-Frame should be set up on level stable ground to prevent shifting or tipping. Ensure all anchor points are securely attached to lifelines harnesses or winches before operation.

• Training:

  • Workers must be trained in the safe operation of the Tuff Built 70779 Quad-Frame including how to properly secure fall protection gear operate the winch and conduct rescue operations.
