CMC’s Rescue Rack offers several innovative features to provide enhanced performance. The large diameter aluminum bars provide excellent control for rescue loads. These bars are center drilled to reduce weight and allow for better heat dissipation. The proprietary black finish also prevents transfer of material to the rope, common with bare aluminum bars. The Turbo Bar at the top has a tie-off pin on the side. The second bar has a straight slot to help warn the user of a mis-rigged rack. Since the top two bars do most of the work, they are a full one inch in diameter. The next four angled slot bars are 7/8-inch diameter. The stainless steel frame has a welded eye. Comes assembled, ready for use.

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.
