3M 7100327930 Confined Space Aluminum Tripod

Product Description

The 3M 7100327930 is a confined space aluminum tripod designed for entry, retrieval, and rescue operations in industrial and construction environments. The tripod features a lightweight tubular aluminum construction paired with a rugged steel head assembly, balancing portability with structural durability. Quick-release pins lock all adjustment points without tools, allowing one worker to set up the unit and reposition it as job conditions change. This equipment is used by safety professionals, site supervisors, and rescue teams where confined space regulations require compliant overhead anchor and retrieval systems.

This tripod is suited for confined space applications including manhole access, tank entry, vault work, and similar below-grade or enclosed environments. It supports connection of up to three pulleys, making it compatible with a wide range of winches and fall arrest devices. That flexibility allows the same tripod to serve multiple retrieval and rescue configurations on a single job site. Licensed safety riggers and confined space entry supervisors are the primary installers and operators of this equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by trained, competent personnel in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 confined space entry requirements and applicable site safety plans.
