Kits & Systems

Containing the minimum equipment needed for a two-person confined space standby team, this kit consists of two Confined Space Entrant Personal Packages and two Additional Entrant Retrieval Line Packages. It can also be combined with a Confined Space Rescue Team Kit to equip a seven-person team.

Use with the Confined Space Belay/Retrieval Kit when safely inserting a second entrant into the confined space. This system can be kept in the rope bag and quickly attached to the anchor when a second entrant is needed.

A hoist-equipped helicopter is an excellent platform for rescue operations, but equipment is still required for crew safety and patient transport. The same equipment also works for short haul operations. CMC’s Air Operations Rescue Kit provides the basic equipment needed for two rescue personnel and for either a patient on a backboard or an ambulatory patient.

Originally developed by Reed Thorne of Arizona-based Ropes That Rescue, the AZTEK (Arizona Technician’s Edge Kit) is used globally and offers more than 100 rigging solutions in a bag. As one of the most versatile tools used in rope rescue, the system reflects the philosophy of keeping rigging equipment simple, efficient, non-specialized, light and small.

The design of the CMC AZTEK ProSeries^® LT System (Load Tender) leaves no detail ignored. The more compact ‘LT’ version of the AZTEK offers 28 feet of 8 mm AZTEK ProSeries^® Cord that can extend the set-of-fours up to 6 feet, providing a 4:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage with a minimum breaking strength (MBS) of 38 kN (8,542 lbf). The LT system includes (2) ProTech™ Aluminum Auto-Lock Carabiners w/ removable keeper pin – 29 kN (6,519 lbf) for attaching to the swivel ends. (Note: Included carabiners must be installed by the user and are UL Classified to NFPA 1983 – Technical Use)

USES: Whether using the set-of-fours (SOFs) as a quick 4:1 or 5:1 M/A for a multitude of rigging applications, or for pick-off rescues, the versatile AZTEK ProSeries LT System gives rescuers and rope access technicians endless rigging solutions in a bag, including:

Improved! As one of the most versatile tools in rope rescue, the CMC AZTEK ProSeries System reflects our philosophy of keeping rigging equipment simple, efficient, light, compact, and multi-purpose. Originally developed by Reed Thorne of Arizona-based Ropes That Rescue, the AZTEK (Arizona Technician’s Edge Kit) is used worldwide and offers more than 100 rigging solutions in a single bag. The CMC AZTEK ProSeries System is made in USA of US and foreign components.

This system now includes an updated AZTEK ProSeries Pack that has improved fabric durability, new reflective piping, and a fresh OD Green color. The pack is feature rich with 1000D nylon/Tarpaulin construction for abrasion resistance, mesh panel for ventilation and drying, Garage Pockets™ to protect cord, double-zippered top compartments, and tension lock buckles for carrying on the waist or thigh. Note: product videos may show previous pack model (no longer available in Coyote color).

Features

The CMC AZTEK ProSeries System is the first AZTEK system to be UL Classified to NFPA 1983 (2017 ED) – General Use – Manufactured System. The system is thoughtfully designed to support rescue teams and each component has been tested and proven to work efficiently in a multitude of lab and field scenarios. Everything comes pre-rigged and fully assembled for immediate deployment.

The set-of-fours includes 15.2 m (50 ft) of 8 mm AZTEK ProSeries Cord, which is CMC’s high-performance 100% nylon blend. These can extend to 3.6 m (12 ft) while providing a 4:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage with a Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) of 38 kN (8,542 lbf).

For a personal edge travel-restrict with nearly 15.2 m (50 ft) of adjustable travel, attach the carabiner of the personal end of the system to an appropriate anchor and restrict edge travel using the integrated Purcell connected to your harness. The sleeved web edge-pro helps protect the cord around anchors with abrasive surfaces.

When you need to set up for a vertical entry into a confined space, this kit covers all the bases. The kit includes the primary access line, a belay/retrieval system and the gear for the entrant using our CSR2 Pulley System™ for a 4:1 lowering and raising system and the CMC Triskelion™ for the overhead anchor point. The CMC Triskelion is the first NFPA certified industrial rescue tripod and the new benchmark for rapid deployment, ease of use, and versatility. With its 5.5-10 ft working height, additional CE certifications, and accessible features, the Triskelion delivers greater safety and efficiency for confined space and industrial rescues. As an essential part of this kit, the Triskelion delivers a user-friendly design with better rigging options, enhanced capabilities, and faster deployment.

This kit has the minimum equipment for the entrant, attendant, stand-by rescuer, main-line operator and belayer to set up systems for vertical entry into a confined space for both rescue and patient transport. For a complete confined space solution, add or use your own communication, gas monitor, and ventilation equipment.

Teams using this kit can perform rescues more safely and efficiently with the CMC Triskelion™, the first NFPA certified industrial rescue tripod. With its 5.5-10 ft working height, additional CE certifications, and accessible features, the Triskelion delivers better rigging options, enhanced capabilities, and faster deployment for confined space and industrial rescues.

The patented locking mechanism in our updated CSR2 Pulley is easy to release under load, creating much greater efficiency with the lowering and raising necessary to a confined space rescue. The machined aluminum swivels at both ends of the system eliminate any potential twisting of the lines. This system is also an excellent choice for confined space entry or rope access work where a heavy-duty pulley system is desired. Systems comes completed reeved and packed into its storage bag ready to use.

New! Built around the all-new CMC CLUTCH™ by Harken Industrial™, the Double CLUTCH Twin Tension Rope System (TTRS) Kit delivers best practice twin tension hauling/lowering for any rescue or training operation. This kit comes with two color-coded RigTech Packs™ that each carry independent hauling/lowering systems designed to work together in mirrored or nested configurations. Rescuers can use these components to build mechanical advantage systems on both 200ft 11mm CMC G11™ Lifelines simultaneously including a 3:1, 3:1 with change of direction, or complex 5:1. These ready-to-go systems minimize gear sorting and allocation. Rescue teams can shoulder their RigTech Packs knowing they have everything they need to quickly and efficiently deploy a best practice TTRS.

The smooth, efficient action of the CLUTCH allows rescuers to haul more easily and lower with more control. Additional built-in features of the CLUTCH make it ideal for this kit including the ratcheting rotating sheave, Anti-Panic brake, force limiting protection, and integrated becket. When two CLUTCH devices are brought together in the Double CLUTCH Technique (aka “Double CLUTCH-ing”), rescuers can maintain nearly equal tension on both lines so that the load, often involving a rescuer, litter and a victim, is shared across two rope systems, reducing the risk of a single line failure. If a catastrophic event such as single line failure does occur, the Double CLUTCH Technique is preferable to a traditional slack belay because it prevents 100% load transfer on the slack belay line and thereby limits shock and extension in the system.

The Double CLUTCH TTRS Kit includes CMC DNA ANSI Carabiners to align two CLUTCH devices on an anchor plate. This setup allows a single operator to manage both CLUTCH handles at the same time for simultaneous twin tension control. While the Double CLUTCH TTRS Kit can be deployed in a variety of ways, rescuers who combine kit components in the Double CLUTCH Technique will run a hauling/lowering system that meets current best practices, minimizes failure risk, and offers the potential to reduce personnel requirements.
