Flexible sided ladders are a cost effective, lightweight solution for temporary access to confined spaces and difficult to reach locations. Even with minimal training, ladders can easily be transported and rapidly deployed for use. Personnel utilizing ladders should always use a separate fall protection system for safety.

Construction: The rungs are hollow tubes with a dowel insert. Rungs are secured to the side wire ropes with pins and resin. A pin is driven through the center of the rope into the dowel and set in resin to form a solid block inside the rung. A plastic cap is then pushed in to seal the rung end. Black rungs are cut to size and drilled before treatment to ensure that the alloy tube is 100% anodized.

Compact Ladders General purpose ladder for ascending/descending. Used for applications such as manhole entry, caving, and access to lighting truss. With fitness and a little practice, they are easy to climb.

These links stand up to multi-directional forces when closed and allow ample room for multiple pieces of gear.

Screw links stand up to multi-directional forces better than carabiners and allow ample room for multiple pieces of gear to be attached. Ideal harness attachment in ascending systems or for joining anchor straps.

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.

Passes the BCCTR Rescue Belay Competence Drop Test Criteria*
Developed specifically to meet the needs of rescue system belays.
The well-engineered Traverse 540 Belay is a patented, self-locking, easy-to-rig device that meets demanding drop-test criteria: able to hold falling loads quickly while limiting the peak force. The symmetrical design reduces the risk of improper rigging. A built-in release lever discharges the tension on the belay rope, eliminating the need for a release hitch.

* The British Columbia Council of Technical Rescue Belay Competency Drop Test specifies a 1-meter drop onto 3 meters of kernmantle rescue rope with less than 1 meter of additional travel and less than 15 kN peak force. For a General Use rated device, a 280-kg load and a 12.5-mm rope are generally used. For a Technical Use device, a 200-kg load and an 11.1-mm rope are used.

A key component of a rappel technique developed by our Tactical Rappel Class instructors, our 8 Link allows you to extend your Figure 8 descender further away from your harness to make room for a back-up Prusik hitch below the descender.

• Quickly attaches to the Figure 8 using a girth hitch
• Multiple carabiner slots allow proper length adjustment
• Pocket stitching breaks at 5 kN (1,100 lbf)
• MBS: 16.9 kN (3,800 lbf)

Redesigned based on feedback from CMC’s Rescue School, our Adjustable Foot Loop is designed to be used in conjunction with an ascender / rope grab for ascending purposes. Connect an ascender to the top loop adjacent to the adjuster buckle. The yellow tether can be connected to your harness by clipping into any single loop on the tether for adjustment. The new upper buckle makes adjusting the length easier and an extra layer of web holds the foot loop open. Light and compact, it fits easily in your gear bag.

Non-locking carabiners can be used for racking equipment or as the keeper carabiner on a load-release strap or mariners hitch. Non-locking carabiners should always be used in pairs, rigged opposite and opposed. Our oval aluminum carabiner features a unique key-lock design for snag-free operation and a side-swing gate for maximum gate opening. The oval design places equal amounts of force on the spine and gate, allowing the carabiner to maintain full rated strength regardless of the width of the web or rope clipped into it. Its also a good size to clip over the ropes coming out of a pulley to help mind a Prusik hitch.
Every carabiner is proof loaded.

• Major Axis, Gate Open - 6 kn
• Product Weight: 2.3 OZ (65 G)
• Gate Opening: 1 IN (25 MM)
• Interior Length: 3.5 IN (89 MM)
• MBS: 22 KN (4,946 LBF)

The Am’D lightweight asymmetrical carabiner is made of aluminum. It has a D shape particularly suited for connection to diverse equipment such as descenders or positioning lanyards. Its fluid interior design and Keylock system facilitate handling. The Am’D carabiner is available in three locking systems: automatic TRIACT-LOCK or BALL-LOCK system, or the manual SCREW-LOCK system. Am'D may be used with a CAPTIV positioning bar to favor loading of the carabiner along the major axis, to limit the risk of it flipping and to keep it integrated with the device.

Argon is a carabiner dedicated to people who seek extreme lightness and the slightest dimensions. Designed for better rope glide, to ensure good positioning of belay devices and shape adapted for easy tying and untying of a clove hitch. Wider rope contact surfaces for reduced wear on the carabiner. The D shape transfers the majority of the load onto the spine, the carabiner strongest axis. The asymmetric shape, furthermore, is ideal for connecting belay or rappel devices or for use at the end of a lanyard. The screw sleeve is recommended for dirty environments, where other spring-loaded sleeve may jam due to dirt.

Key features:
Very compact shape ideal for belay station

Low-profile for reduced bulk

Keylock system

Screw sleeve easy to employ one-handed
