The Kosto CTK012 Tripod Kit is a complete confined space rescue and retrieval system built to support safer entry, access, and emergency response operations. Designed around an 8-foot aluminum tripod, this kit includes a 66-foot 3-way self-retracting lifeline with retrieval capability, mounting bracket, integrated head-mounted pulleys, and a transport bag for easier deployment and storage. Its adjustable telescopic legs, pivoting non-slip feet, and leg-securing chain help deliver stable setup on demanding jobsites, while the galvanized steel SRL-R supports controlled rescue and retrieval tasks in regulated environments.
