EQUIPMENT BRACKET
INSTRUCTIONS
Equipment Bracket 2:1 Rigging Instructions
The Equipment Bracket is normally attached to the middle leg
section. In the middle leg location, the Equipment Bracket has a
220kg safe working load (SWL), Figure 46.
1. Remove the pins from the Equipment Bracket
2. Position Equipment Bracket over the leg in desired position,
aligning the bracket holes with leg holes
3. Re-insert the pins to secure the Equipment Bracket to leg.
It is permissible to attach the Equipment Bracket to the lower
leg section only when it is used with mechanical advantage
rigging as outlined in this instruction.
This method of rigging shares the load between the Equipment
Bracket and the eye bolt so the SWL of the Equipment Bracket is not
exceeded. The SWLs listed are derived from manufacturer testing
and are provided below.
Rigging Method (Figure 47)
1. The main line is attached to the eye bolt
2. The main line is reeved through a pulley at the load
3. Reeve the main line through the pulley on the Pulley Leg head
4. The mainline is reeved through a friction device (ascender,
descender or a rope grab) which is attached to the Equipment
Bracket
The Arachnipod would normally be used in a tripod or quadpod
configuration for this type of work.
Always secure the Arachnipod legs and stabilise the unit to suit the
configuration and situation. Refer to “Stabilising the Arachnipod” on
page 32
