2 - ABOUT THE ARACHNIPOD
2.1 Description & Kit Contents
The Arachnipod is a portable anchor device and is used for securing
persons operating in situations where a fall from height may occur.
The Arachnipod system adapts to most terrains to enable access
to difficult locations such as confined spaces, sheer edges, steep
terrain and voids.
Various Arachnipod components are combined in order to build
an appropriate configuration for the job: from a simple tripod or
quadpod through to more technical bridge systems, A-frames and
gin poles or monopods.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
