The CSG Safety Systems UCT-300 Tripod combines the quality
and user friendly performance of all CSG Safety equipment with
the economy of the basic tripod. Constructed of lightweight tubular
aluminum with a rugged steel head assembly, the UCT-300 tripod
can be combined with a variety of pulleys, winches and fall-arrest
devices to meet a wide range of conned space entry / retrieval
and rescue requirements. Plastic sliders between inner and outer
leg tube provide smooth adjustment and prevent inner tube from
inadvertently pulling out of outer tube. Quick release pins positively

locate components at all adjustment points for tool-less setup and
adjustment.
