Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MSA 10102002 Aluminum Workman 8' Tripod a good choice for confined space entry and non-entry rescue?

Yes. The MSA 10102002 Aluminum Workman 8' Tripod is purpose-built for confined space entry with vertical descent and for non-entry rescue of an entrant. It provides an overhead anchor point for lifting and lowering personnel and materials via a winch or hoist and supports use of a self-retracting lifeline (SRL). It has a maximum personnel capacity of 400 lb (182 kg), a maximum material capacity of 620 lb (280 kg), and a minimum vertical static strength of 5,000 lb (22.0 kN). It meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.1 and OSHA regulations, sets up and dismantles without tools, and ships with free shipping from Industrial Safety Products.

What safety standards does the MSA 10102002 Workman Tripod meet?

The MSA 10102002 Aluminum Workman 8' Tripod meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.1 and is OSHA-compliant. It is engineered as a confined space entry and rescue anchor with a minimum vertical static strength of 5,000 lb (22.0 kN), a maximum personnel capacity of 400 lb (182 kg), and a maximum material capacity of 620 lb (280 kg).

What are the load capacity and strength specs of the MSA 10102002 Workman Tripod?

The MSA 10102002 Workman Tripod is rated for a maximum personnel capacity of 400 lb (182 kg), a maximum material capacity of 620 lb (280 kg), and a minimum vertical static strength of 5,000 lb (22.0 kN). These ratings support lifting and lowering of both personnel and materials during confined space entry and rescue, and the unit meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.1 and OSHA regulations.

How tall is the MSA 10102002 tripod, how much does it weigh, and how do the legs adjust?

The MSA 10102002 is an 8' tripod: its maximum height is about 96" (2.4 m) to the top of the head and 91" (2.3 m) under the head, and it weighs roughly 45 lb (20 kg). The telescoping aluminum legs adjust in 4" increments using easy-to-insert ball detent pins, feature a maximum height indicator for quick reference, and automatically lock in the open position for added safety.

What makes the MSA 10102002 Workman Tripod easy and safe to set up?

The MSA 10102002 Workman Tripod can be set up and dismantled without any tools. It uses an internal leg-locking mechanism that prevents accidental disengagement during use, automatic hinge-lock legs that lock open, skid-resistant feet with a built-in leg base support strap that improves stability, and cut-resistant pin retention chains for extended service life. The leg base support strap also doubles as a carry strap, and a maximum height indicator on the legs makes it easy to confirm safe extension.

Why is the MSA 10102002 tripod made of aluminum, and what is it made of?

The MSA 10102002 uses an aluminum-alloy head and high-tensile aluminum-alloy legs to reduce weight and improve portability compared with heavier steel tripods, while still delivering a 5,000 lb (22.0 kN) minimum vertical static strength. The feet (shoes) are clear-chromate zinc-plated steel with a skid-resistant rubber tread for grip on the work surface. At about 45 lb (20 kg), it is easy to transport and store, and its telescoping legs do not tangle when collapsed.

Can you add a rescue winch to the MSA 10102002 Workman Tripod?

Yes. The MSA 10102002 tripod offers an optional MSA Workman Rescuer 50 ft (15 m) stainless-steel cable 3-way rescue winch. Accessories attach to any leg and no separate pulley or bracket assembly is needed, making winch or hoist attachment faster. The tripod is sold with the winch as an optional add-on or on its own; Industrial Safety Products lists it with free shipping.

What is the MSA Workman Rescuer 3-way rescue winch used with this tripod?

The MSA Workman Rescuer is a 3-way rescue winch that mounts to the MSA 10102002 tripod for retrieving a confined space entrant. It uses 50' of galvanized or stainless-steel 3/16" (5 mm) wire rope, has an integral mounting bracket, a color-coded switch for retrieval-mechanism activation, a built-in shock absorber, and a self-locking swivel snaphook with load indicator. It also features a stow-able foldable crank handle, is RFID-enabled for inspection tracking, and its stainless-steel carrying handle can serve as an anchorage connection point.

Does the MSA 10102002 come as a complete confined space kit or just the tripod?

The MSA 10102002 is the 8' aluminum Workman Tripod itself; the 50 ft stainless-steel Rescuer 3-way rescue winch is an optional add-on. MSA also offers complete Confined Space Entry Kits under single part numbers that bundle the tripod with a rescuer/winch, pulleys, carabiners, and carry bags for non-entry rescue and material handling. If you need a ready-to-deploy system, choose a kit; if you already own rescue components, the standalone tripod is the flexible choice.

What industries and applications is the MSA 10102002 Workman Tripod designed for?

The MSA 10102002 Workman Tripod is designed for confined space entry, working at heights, manufacturing, and search & rescue. It is used across contractor, fire service, industrial, mining, oil & gas, and utilities markets. It provides an overhead anchor for non-entry rescue, personnel raising/lowering, and material handling, meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.1 and OSHA regulations, and can be paired with a winch, hoist, or SRL.
