The Abtech CST1KIT simplifies your safety procedures by combining three critical components into one easy-to-manage package, ensuring compatibility and performance when it matters most.
Why Choose the Abtech CST1KIT?
Choosing the Abtech CST1KIT confined space tripod kit means investing in a proven, reliable, and easy-to-use safety system from a trusted UK manufacturer. It provides the critical components needed for safe confined space operations and working at height in one convenient package, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and providing peace of mind for both workers and supervisors. This fall arrest kit is built for durability and performance in demanding environments.
What's Included in the Abtech CST1KIT?
This comprehensive confined space tripod kit comprises the following key Abtech Safety components:
- Abtech T3 Confined Space Tripod
- Abtech AB15RT 15mtr Fall Arrest & Recovery Device
- Abtech T05T Retriever Bracket
Let's look at each component in detail:
Abtech T3 Confined Space Tripod
The Abtech T3 Tripod forms the foundation of your confined space safety and rescue system.
- Lightweight & Portable: Constructed from sturdy yet lightweight aluminium alloy, making it easy for a single worker to transport and erect.
- Stable & Adjustable: Individually adjustable legs ensure stability on uneven ground or over manholes/openings.
- Multi-Point Anchorage: Features 6 anchor points tested to EN795 Type B, including 3 overhead pulleys suitable for ropes up to 11mm and 3 underslung eyes.
The extra anchor points are invaluable for setting up a secondary rescuer line, backup systems, airlines, communication cables, medical kits, or tools, enhancing operational versatility. - Designed for Two: Rated for use by up to two persons, providing ample capacity for rescue scenarios.
- Certified: Conforms to BS EN 795 TYPE B standards.
Abtech AB15RT 15mtr Fall Arrest & Recovery Device
The Abtech AB15RT is a crucial element of the fall arrest tripod kit, functioning as both a fall arrest block and a recovery winch.
- Dual Functionality: Acts as an automatic retractable lifeline for fall arrest, instantly locking upon a fall. It also features an integrated manual winch for controlled lifting or lowering of personnel during rescue or entry/exit.
- Generous Length: Supplied with 15 metres of 5mm galvanised steel cable.
- User Capacity: Suitable for a maximum recommended user weight of 150kg.
- Certified: Conforms to BS EN 360 standards.
Abtech T05T Retriever Bracket
This essential bracket ensures seamless integration.
- Secure Mounting: Specifically designed to securely mount the Abtech AB15RT Fall Arrest-Retrieval Device onto the Abtech T3 Tripod legs.
- Compatibility: Guarantees proper fit and function within the Abtech CST1KIT.
Complete Your Kit: Add a Rescue Harness
While the Abtech CST1KIT provides the anchorage and lifeline, a suitable safety harness is essential for connecting the user to the system. We highly recommend adding a rescue-specific harness to your order to create a fully functional and compliant setup from day one.
- Consider the CRESTO CORE ACTIVE Rescue Harness 1154R (Max 150 kg user weight, one-size with manual buckles) for a reliable and economical option.
This harness includes front, back, and dedicated rescue connection points

What is included in the Abtech CST1KIT Confined Space Tripod Kit?
The Abtech CST1KIT is a complete confined space safety and rescue system. It includes the Abtech T3 two-person tripod, an Abtech AB15RT 15-metre fall arrest and recovery device (winch), and the specific Abtech T05T bracket required to mount the winch onto the tripod.
Is a safety harness included with this kit?
No, a safety harness is not included as standard with the CST1KIT. While the kit provides the anchorage point, fall protection, and rescue capability, you will need to select a suitable full-body fall arrest and rescue harness separately to complete the system and connect the user to the AB15RT device.
What safety standards does the Abtech CST1KIT meet?
The main components of the kit conform to relevant European and British standards:
- The Abtech T3 Tripod conforms to BS EN 795:2012 Type B (Transportable anchor devices).
- The Abtech AB15RT Fall Arrest & Recovery Device conforms to BS EN 360 (Retractable type fall arresters) and BS EN 1496 (Rescue lifting devices).
How often does the Abtech CST1KIT require inspection and servicing?
Both the tripod (Abtech T3) and the fall arrest/recovery device (Abtech AB15RT) require regular inspection by a competent person.
- Pre-use checks: A visual inspection should be carried out before each use.
- Periodic Examinations: A thorough examination by a competent person is required at least every 12 months. Under LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998), equipment used for lifting people must be thoroughly examined every 6 months. As this kit is used for both fall arrest and potential personnel recovery, a 6-monthly thorough examination is strongly recommended and often legally required.
- Annual Service: Abtech Safety recommends an annual service for the AB15RT device, typically carried out by the manufacturer or an approved service centre.
Always refer to the user manual supplied with the kit for specific inspection, maintenance, and servicing requirements.
What is the maximum number of users for this kit?
The Abtech T3 tripod is designed and certified for use by up to two persons simultaneously, typically one person entering/working in the confined space and a second person (attendant/rescuer) operating the system or providing support. The AB15RT device is designed for a single user attachment for fall arrest and recovery (maximum 150kg user weight).
Can this kit be used for rescue as well as fall arrest?
Yes, absolutely. The Abtech AB15RT device included in the kit is a combined fall arrest and recovery unit. It functions as a standard retractable fall arrester during normal operation but also features a manual handle to enable controlled lifting or lowering of a person for rescue purposes or assisted entry/exit.
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of the Abtech T3 tripod?
The Abtech T3 tripod has a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 250kg, designed with a 6:1 safety ratio.
What is the maximum recommended user weight for the AB15RT device?
The Abtech AB15RT is suitable for a maximum recommended user weight of 150kg.
Can I use a different fall arrest device or winch with the Abtech T3 tripod?
While the T3 tripod has multiple anchor points, the Abtech CST1KIT is designed specifically around the compatibility of the Abtech AB15RT device and the Abtech T05T mounting bracket. Using other devices would require ensuring compatibility, appropriate certification, and might necessitate different brackets. It is generally recommended to use compatible components from the same manufacturer within a system like this to ensure correct function and maintain certification.
