Description
The Jireh Tripod Wall Crawler is a remotely controlled vehicle designed to move along straight or curved metal surfaces. Using three powerful magnets, the wall-crawler can climb vertically or horizontally, even upside down. Cameras and other inspection equipment can also be attached, allowing for easy access in hard-to-reach places. Jirah’s Tripod Wall Crawler has a three-wheeled computerized drive system, providing 360-degree rotation, giving you unparalleled movement and flexibility.
This vehicle is composed of industrial-grade materials, providing protection against harsh production environments including vibration, shock and temperature resistances. The rugged umbilical cord houses power, communication cords, coax conductors, and even a water line. The Tripod Wall Crawler also features environmental seals which prevent contaminants from entering the unit.

Features
- Unique Linkage System: The TriPod’s magnetic drive wheels automatically remain perpendicular to the pipe or tank surface when driving in both the longitudinal and circumferential directions.
- Control system: Onboard intelligence provides functionality, flexibility, and expandability. All components are industrially hardened for the best in vibration, shock, and temperature resistance.
- Molded umbilical: The TriPod has a rugged umbilical with power, communication, 4 coax conductors and a water line molded into a durable polyurethane jacket.
- Real-time encoder feedback: A sealed optical encoder is mounted on the steering wheel providing accurate straight line positioning information.
- Probe lift actuator: A small lightweight linear actuator is used to lift a probe on and off of the inspection surface. The probe is mounted in a wear shoe with a virtual pivot point to allow for surface irregularities.
- Environmental Sealing: Extensive use of re-sealable o-ring gaskets and seals protect against penetration of contaminants into the unit.
- Visual inspection camera (optional): The TriPod can be fitted with a video camera for remote visual inspection or as a driving aid. The camera feed is sent down the standard umbilical.
- Multi-probe holding adapter (optional): If multiple probes are required, an adapter is available to integrate standard Slip Joint or Vertical Probe Holders on the TriPod.
