Arachnipod
The Arachnipod is a versatile, light-weight modular scaffolding system which can be quickly erected in a huge variety of configurations depending on the requirements of the situation.
About the Inventor
Gavin Broadly is from Coolum Beach on the Queensland Sunshine Coast. He has been working in the rescue equipment industry for a number of years and his interest in actually designing equipment has developed over that time. Mike Walrond lives in the Brisbane suburb of Redcliffe. He is originally from South Africa, where he worked as a rescue paramedic and paramedic instructor.

HOW DOES IT WORK
The Arachnipod is a versatile, light-weight modular scaffolding system which can be quickly erected in a huge variety of configurations depending on the requirements of the situation. Put simply, it’s like Meccano for the rescue industry! And just as with Meccano, you can begin with a basic starter kit and add components as the need arises. The Arachnipod is based around the concept of an industrial tripod, but the unique hinge design of the modular head means the Arachnipod can be constructed into many different configurations including a gin pole/monopole, bipod, tripod, quadpod, bridge system and handrail recovery monopole. The Arachnipod has been specifically designed to be simple and extremely quick to assemble in any emergency situation. The sections flat pack for easy transportation and once at the location you simply grab the legs you need, align the hinges and lock together with the pin. A simple tripod can be assembled in about 20 seconds.Because it is modular, you also have the advantage that all the components can be quickly split up and carried separately if you need to travel by foot to get into inaccessible terrain. For example, in a few seconds you can take a tripod apart and 3 people can carry a leg each over their shoulder. Although initially designed for use in rescue and emergency services, the Arachnipod’s versatility also makes it an ideal system for workers in industries such as construction, military, utility services, mining, film industry and for maintenance personnel.
