Manufactured by Skedco, makers of the SKED Stretcher, the SKED-EVAC tripod features aircraft-grade, gold-anodized aluminum legs and a cast-aluminum head. The three heavy-duty rigging anchors have exceptionally large holes for easy attachment and are located in the center. The legs adjust in 5-inch increments for a maximum height of 10 feet and a minimum length for transport of 7 feet. The cast ladder feet swivel for choice of a sure-grip rubber pad or a point for imbedding in a soft or slippery surface. Holes in the feet allow the tripod to be bolted into position. The safety chain prevents leg slippage and adjusts with a screw link. Leg extension width: 100 inches.
