The TerrAdaptor™ is the most versatile portable anchor systems available for use in rescue, industrial and wilderness environments.

This revolutionary system is the result of the combined years of experience in design, engineering and manufacturing of equipment by Seattle Manufacturing Corporation (SMC), Skedco and Pigeon Mountain Industries (PMI).

NFPA Configuration

The primary system revolves around the TerrAdaptor Tripod System. This system includes all of the necessary parts to assemble a standard symmetric tripod that provides the ability to reach a height of approximately 10-feet. The system comes packaged in three compact packable bags to make it easy to "grab your bags and go" as well as store the System together in an organized manner.

The TerrAdaptor system has been tested extensively in both lab and field environments. As a result, the TerrAdaptor Portable Anchor system in the standard symmetric tripod and quadpod configurations are the only systems of their kind to be certified by UL to NFPA 1983

Rigging

The TerrAdaptor Tripod is loaded with features and tools to quickly and efficiently rig this unique high directional anchor.

The Main Attachment Point

The main load bearing attachment point on the TerrAdaptor is a two position yoke located at the bottom of the main head. Items are attached to the head with the use of the Main Attachment Pin, which is a quick release ball lock pin.

Lash Ring

The TerrAdaptor Lash Ring is designed to provide multiple attach points for stabilizing the tripod. Each TerrAdaptor tripod comes with 2 lash rings and additional accessory lash rings are available for purchase, if desired. Lash rings can be installed in any position, in any quantity and in any orientation along the perf tubes (small diameter leg). For lighter loads, especially in a MonoPod configuration, the lash ring may serve as an auxiliary main attachment point.

Load Locking Head Pins

Entirely unique to the TerrAdaptor is the ability to adjust the head angle in multiple directions. This allows the head to remain level even when the terrain is not.

Leg Tube Connections

The height of the TerrAdaptor is easily adjusted by means of telescoping leg sections. Adjustment holes in small diameter leg sections (referred to as Perf Tubes) are labeled 1 through 9 and adjustment holes for the larger diameter mid section tubes (Mid Tubes) are labeled X and Y. Leg connections and connections to various accessories are made by sliding the small diameter perf tube into the large diameter mid tube or other components and securing the connection with a Leg Coupling Pin. Leg coupling pins provide a secure connection when the pin is fully inserted and the bail is properly secured.

Hobble

Leg Hobbles are an important structural element for the TerrAdaptor. The Rope Hobble provided with each TerrAdaptor is light, versatile, and much easier to use than a standard chain hobble. The rope and prusik cord used in the hobble is specially designed for low stretch and high strength.
