CMC's patented 3D locking-bar descender delivers the ultimate in safety, control and performance, in one compact and lightweight device. The 3D features two sliding bars for optimum friction control and efficiency. The horn design works well with 13 mm rope and smaller, making it easy to add or subtract friction as needed throughout the evolution. The frame dimensions allow for larger rescue-sized carabiners to be used without any contact or friction with the rope. The descender can be loaded or unloaded while connected to your harness for rappelling or to an anchor for one- or two-person rescue lowers.

Specs

• Compact, lightweight design
• 3-stage “locking” center bar for added safety
• Ambidextrous design allows loading from top or bottom or controlling descent from either side of device
• Optimal rack length allows two rescue-sized carabiners to be attached without rope contact or friction from carabiner
• Large horn size allows for easy addition or subtraction of friction, even on larger 13  mm lifeline
• Personal descender or use for one person or two-person rescue lowers
• Simple to lock off device on either side
• Straight feed design does not put twists in rope
• Allows attachment of rope while device is connected to a harness or anchor
• 100% aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel components
• Made in USA, of domestic and foreign components

About CMC’s Super Black Finish
The CMC 3D, Rescue Rack, and Rescue 8 products feature an exceptionally long-wear proprietary finish because typical hard or soft anodizing on aluminum descenders eventually wears through. This finish also prevents transfer of material onto the rope, common with bare aluminum components. After years of heavy use, our products and test samples with this Super Black Finish continue to be used in CMC School classes without showing any indication of the finish wearing through.

More is Possible

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. 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.

Suited to a multitude of rigging operations, the CLUTCH delivers efficient operation, ease of use, and optimal control. It moves seamlessly between anchor-based systems and personal use, offering unmatched versatility for the rope technician. With the CLUTCH, more is possible.

• Delivers up to 38% higher efficiency in hauling and ascending than a cam-style device: reducing changeovers.
• Moves seamlessly between anchor-based systems and personal use: reducing gear cache volume and weight.
• Combines the key features of personal descenders and load management devices: reducing equipment training and cost.
• Instantly transitions between hauling and lowering or ascent and descent without having to transfer the load.
• Allows main and belay lines to be mirrored, twin-tensioned, or nested in Double CLUTCH technique (handles controlled by single operator).
• Replaces 8 pieces of traditional equipment: pulley, rescue rack, anchor plate, load release strap, prusik cord, and 3 carabiners.
• The 11 mm CLUTCH and CMC’s G11™ Lifeline can be used together to build NFPA G-Rated systems using 11mm rope, saving space and reducing weight.
• The 11 mm CLUTCH is the only device compatible with 10.5 – 11 mm rope certified to NFPA 1983 General Use, ANSI, and EN standards.

Designed for Emergency Rappel

In a class by itself, CMC offers the only NFPA Certified Uniform Rappel Belt available. Designed for everyday wear but with the performance needed for an emergency rappel or belay. Standard uniform wear for fire fighters, search and rescue, and SWAT personnel, the belt is constructed to the same exacting standards as our harness line and is the only certified uniform belt available. The belt uses 1-3/4 web that fastens securely without requiring any hook-and-loop material. The AustriAlpin D-ring COBRA buckle is manufactured from 7075aluminum alloy and features a built-in stainless steel D-ring (Buckle:18 kN / 4,000 lbf MBS, D-ring: 22 kN / 5,000 lbf MBS, straight pull). The buckle requires a two finger release and will not open when loaded. Included web keeper secures excess web at tail end of belt. Adjustable, one size fits most.

Note: This belt is not intended as a substitute for a harness.

The design of our redesignedCSR2 (Confined Space Rescue) Pulley is stronger yet lighter and incorporates 7/16 in (11 mm) to 1/2 in (13 mm) lifesafety rope. Ideal for industrial applications as well as many rescue operations, the CSR2 uses our proprietary, patented locking system, which eliminates a toothed cam or Prusik so it can be easily and safely released while under load. (The absence of the toothed cam means that even if the system is fully collapsed and pulled tight, it can still be released easily. Systems using a toothed cam must be raised even further before the cam can be released, which can be impossible if the system is fully collapsed without thinking about this problem ahead of time causing potential problems with the load on the system becomingstuck.) An integral thrust-bearing swivel reduces torque by aligning the pulley with the load, thereby increasing efficiency and safety. Its larger size allows for the easy application of rescue-size carabiners.

Machined from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, the CSR2 features a high-strength aluminum side plate, sealed bearings and anodized aluminum sheaves. The side becket location allows for maximum lift height and full retraction of the system, and a removable becket cover facilitates changing out lifeline with sewn terminations.

Specs

• All-new stronger, lighter-weight design
• Compatible with 11-13mm life safety rope
• Meets NFPA 1983 (2017 ED) General Use
• CSR2 Pulley MBS 46 kN (10,341 lbf)/CSR2 Double Pulley MBS 45 kN (10,116 lbf)
• Machined from solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum

Self-braking descender for rope work, the evolution of the SPARROW 200 descender has been developed for high workloads. The improved 200R model features a redesign of the spring-operated braking spur that has been modified so that it orients toward the direction to which the rope is being paid into the device. The advantage of this modification provides even smoother control of decent speed as well as improved handling of the rope. It allows the operator to lower on the working line, to position on the working line and to ascend the same rope. It is ideal in the event of assisted lowering of two people with the device installed at the anchor (the operator lowers the rescuer and the person being rescued) or for simultaneous lowering of two people (rescuer lowers themselves with the injured person).

To be used only with static and semi static ropes – EN 1891 type A – Ø 11mm.

Field of application:

• Rescue descender certified to EN 341:2011-2A, work load limit 200 kg with a maximum descent height of 180 m, only to be used with the TEC STATIC PRO rope – Ø 11 mm;
• Rope adjustment/ descender device certified to EN 12841:2006-C, work load limit 210 kg, only to be used with EN 1891 type A – Ø 11 mm ropes.

Technical Features:

• Equipped with a breaking spur that creates additional friction on the rope, when used during the descent, without the use of an additional connector. The shape of the braking spur has been improved in order to have even more effective control of the rope;
• A multifunctional command lever with an automatic recall system that allows the operator to descend at a controlled speed and stop the descent at the desired point without the need to tie off the device;
• An EBS safety system (Extraordinary Braking System) that is activated if the lever is accidentally fully opened, reducing the speed of descent instead of increasing it;

Equipped with a safety lever on the movable flange that facilitates the insertion of the rope.
