Advanced Tank Pod System [DBI-Sala]

$8,092.38

We had a customer who needed to enter a fermenting vessel for inspections and potential repairs from above. To be clearer, they didn't need to enter one vessel, they needed to enter each of their 165 vessels. The problem was, the tanks were within 3 feet of the ceiling and there was only smooth concrete above the hatches which the owner didn't want to drill into so simple anchor solutions were out.

This is not a unique story. We get requests like these all of the time. Often the solution is to modify the overhead structures to place anchors but isn't always feasible and, in some cases. individual permanent anchors that have to be inspected and certified become more expensive than can be absorbed.

Enter the Advanced Tank Pod System from Capital Safety to help us solve these issues.

When you have minimal overhead clearance, when you need to need a solution that lets you work on the top of a tank or if you need to protect the structure you are working in, this is the tool for the job. Not only that, if you don't have a stable platform that is large enough to accommodate a davit or tripod adjacent to the hatch entry, why not work directly on top of the tank instead?

In the case of our brew tank customer, they chose to connect a 50' SRL and a 100' winch to the tank pod which let them not only access the tank safely and under control but it also allowed them to have redundancy in the case of any issues with either fall protection system.

Basic SKED Stretcher System w/ Cobra Buckles - Orange, Skedco

$1,053.40

The original and still the best solution for confined space, high angle or technical rescue, and traditional land based applications, the Sked stretcher is a revolutionary design which provides outstanding patient protection and security.

Skedco now has the Austrian made Skedco/Cobra side release buckles that are dependable and strong enough to meet the needs of securing a patient into a Sked stretcher without the danger of breakage. These buckles are rated at 3,000 pounds. They are durable and easy to use. When they are under tension they are very hard to release thus accidental release under tension is not an issue. With these buckles, you will no longer have to weave the webbing through the original steel buckles when packaging a patient. Patient packaging is often done in about half of the time as when using the original steel buckles.

The Sked comes equipped for horizontal hoisting by helicopter or vertical hoisting in caves or industrial confined spaces. When the patient is packaged the stretcher becomes rigid. The durable plastic provides protection for the patient while allowing extrication through the most demanding confined spaces.

The SK-200 Sked Basic Rescue System comes with:

SK-201C-OR The Sked Stretcher with Cobra Buckles
SK-202 Cordura backpack
SK-203 Horizontal Lift Slings (pair)
SK-204 Sked Tow Strap
SK-205 Removable Webbing Handles
SK-206 Steel Locking 'D' Carabiner
SK-207 Sked Vertical Lift Sling

The stretcher is rolled for storage in a tough Cordura backpack which is included with the system. The Sked storage bag is 36 inches (91 cm) long by 9 inches (23 cm) in diameter and ships at 18 lbs, complete for most applications.

Available in International Orange or Olive Drab Green.
