The Peakworks TR-100 tripod is the foundation of any confined space rescue and entry program. Built from high-strength aluminum alloy, it offers the best weight-to-rigidity ratio for teams that frequently move from site to site. Weighing just 40 lb (18.1 kg) at 7 ft (2 m) tall, it covers the vast majority of manholes, wells, and confined space openings found in municipal, industrial, and construction settings. The kit includes a safety chain and pulley, and features two independent anchor points on the steel head for connecting a SRL, a winch, or any certified fall arrest device.
The high-strength aluminum alloy used in the TR-100 frame is corrosion-treated and selected for its combination of light weight and high dynamic load capacity during fall arrest or recovery operations. Compared to a steel tripod, aluminum reduces total transported weight by 30 to 40 percent - a decisive advantage for teams deploying multiple pieces of equipment on a single site or accessing difficult areas. The extruded aluminum legs feature an adjustable-length mechanism and a positive-lock system that holds each leg in position without slippage under load.
The two independent anchor points on the steel head enable the 3-way configuration compatible with all Peakworks kit assemblies: SRL on one point, winch on the other, simultaneous use supported. The safety chain limits leg spread and maintains tripod geometry under the lateral stresses generated by asymmetric load extraction or lowering operations.
Position the tripod directly over the access opening. Deploy the three legs symmetrically and adjust their length to the installation surface (manhole frame, industrial floor, sloped ground). Lock each leg in position and attach the safety chain to the designated rings to limit maximum leg spread. Verify overall stability before connecting any device. Before each use, visually inspect: legs (locking mechanism, absence of deformation), rubber feet (wear, grip), safety chain (links, closures), and steel head (anchor points, no cracking). Per CSA Z1006, annual documented inspection by a qualified competent person is mandatory.
No. The TR-100 is sold as a standalone tripod (aluminum structure, safety chain and pulley included). It does not include a self-retracting lifeline (SRL) or a winch. Its two steel-head anchor points allow a compatible SRL and winch to be connected separately. For an all-in-one system, see the Peakworks confined space kits (FPLRK1, FPLRK2, FPLRK3).
The TR-100 is designed for single-person setup thanks to its lightweight aluminum structure (40 lb) and adjustable positive-lock legs. However, CSA Z1006 requires a minimum of two people during any confined space operation: one worker inside and one attendant outside.
At 7 ft (2 m) high, the TR-100 covers the vast majority of standard manholes, wells and confined space openings. Its adjustable legs compensate for uneven or sloped surfaces. For very wide openings or offset access, a davit system (FPLRK4) offers a horizontal reach that a tripod cannot replicate.
To equip your TR-100 with a complete rescue and fall protection system, see the 3-way SRL 60 ft kit (tripod + SRL) for fall arrest and worker recovery (FPLRK1), the confined space winch kit 65 ft for personnel and material handling (FPLRK2), the all-in-one combo SRL 60 ft and winch 65 ft (FPLRK3), the davit 3-way system for offset confined space access with winch (FPLRK4) and the Koala Behr universal harness with quick-connect buckles, class A (FPH2000A).
Under "Accessories" at the bottom of the page, complete your setup with the Peakworks confined space Y-yoke lanyard (FPLRKL), the DBI-SALA 3M tripod base mount support (FPLR8005048) and the DBI-SALA 3M Advanced carry bag for 7 ft tripod (FPLR9503094).
