What is Ferno Arachnipod?

The Ferno Arachnipod is an artificial high directional system that provides many ways to safely manage all types of edges and voids. Its modular design makes the Arachnipod the world’s most versatile modular total edge management system (TEMS).

What is unique about the Arachnipod system is the way you can connect its three styles of legs and feet into different configurations to best suit the environment and job at hand

The Arachnipod system can be purchased in a choice of six pre-assembled core kits , You can find them in the reference guide below.

Top Five Favourite Features
1

Fast Set Up The Arachnipod’s telescoping legs are pre-assembled as a singular unit ready for immediate use. No pre-assembly or joining components together. Arachnipod’s three styles of patented leg heads are designed with cut- out hinge profiles. Two or more leg heads are slotted together and held in place with a pin. All systems can be configured in under two minutes enabling operators to progress with rigging and stabilisation tasks sooner.

2
Future Proofed Arachnipod’s modularity and comprehensive range of kits and components means the system can be expanded to suit changing needs and budget. Customers can start with a basic Arachnipod unit and as their requirements or budgets grow, they can expand their system with additional kits or individual accessories.
3
Ultra Versatile Arachnipod! Arachnipod tripods, quadpods and bridge systems When is a tripod not a tripod? When it’s an can be completely dismantled allowing the individual legs to be combined with other components to build numerous edge management configurations. Eg. If an A-Frame is required, combine two legs from the tripod together with a rigging plate which provides the new system with additional stabilisation and rigging points. With Arachnipod, one single device can be reconfigured to manage many situations.
4
User Friendly by the Australian Design Council for its innovative design which includes many user-friendly features. The Arachnipod was awarded a Design Mark Fixing methods and hardware such as head and leg pins can be installed or removed with one hand. Fastening hardware is attached to legs and accessories ready for immediate deployment and to eliminate loss of cru- cial parts in the field. Components are sized and shaped for easy manip- ulation with gloved hands. Accessories like the Step enables convenient and efficient work flow with safe access to the system’s head.
5
Cost Effective and usefulness in multiple working environments makes it a cost The Arachnipod’s modularity, efficient set up effective tool. Engineered for strength, the Arachnipod is designed and manufactured in Australia from quality materials and built to last. Sturdy, customised transport bags are supplied with each Arachnipod unit to further protect this versatile asset.
