Rope loading/unloading is secured with an innovative double-latched side plate design that is independent of the device�s attachment point.Stainless steel ratcheting and rotating sheave provides efficient and audible progress capture.Single wearable tool suited for efficient hauling, controlled lowering, smooth personal descent, easy ascending and belaying.This multi-purpose device was designed and engineered in collaboration by two companies with a collective 90 year history in rope management under heavy loads: CMC, a company with roots in rescue and rope access, and Harken Industrial, a manufacturing company with roots in high performance sailing.ĭesigned for intuitive, efficient operation, ease of use and optimal control, the versatile CLUTCH is suited to a multitude of rigging operations: Introducing the all-new CLUTCH, the latest evolution in rescue and rope access hardware that enables the technical rope professional to do more with less.

For professionals that are still learning technical rope access skills, we recommend the Petzl Iï¿❝ Descender, which has additional safety features, such as an anti-panic function and an anti-error safety cam. This device is for users that already have considerable experience. Single ropes between 10 and 11.5 mm in diameter (7/16" ). Can also be used to make a reversible haul system, and for short ascents (in conjunction with a FOOTPRO foot loop and an ASCENSION handled rope clamp). Pivoting cam facilitates taking up the slack in the rope. The RIG is better-adapted for professional use.

This limits risks in case of involuntary operation of the handle, for example by user action, a falling object, etc. While the handle is in descent position, it will automatically return to belay position if the user lets go of it. The RIG�s handle allows the user to switch quickly between descent and stopping for work. A simple and effective alternative to more traditional descenders. This descender is compact and intuitive to use, making for smooth descents. The RIG allows the user to move into position then easily stop where needed.
