Rope Protection

A staple of tactical teams, this cordura rope bag can be strapped to the rappeller leg or worn at the waist while on rappel. Rope feeds directly into a descender and does not hang below the rappeller to announce his arrival.

Specs

Protect your rope with tough #4 duck canvas and a layer of vinyl coated polyester. Our Edge Guards close with a two-inch strip of hook-and-loop. A strong web loop lets you anchor the Edge Guard to keep it in place. (We do not use grommets as a moving rope can abrade a grommet enough to create a sharp edge.) Use an Edge Guard to protect anchor ropes and webbing as well as your rescue ropes.

Our heavy-duty edge pad, made from rugged 24-oz #4 canvas protects ropes from abrasion and helps keep them clean, increasing their life. It also reduces the amount a rope digs into a soft edge, such as the berm of a road. Our improved design replaces metal grommets and uses strong integrated corner web loops that allow for anchoring in place when needed. The pads also feature a set of additional offset web loops, allowing overlap when joining two or more pads to extend coverage. Pads work well over most edges and also protects when wrapped around trees, rails and beams.

Quick and easy to install, requiring only a mallet to fold the prongs over on the doubled rope. This clamp slips at 800 lbf and fits 1/2-inch and 3/8-inch Ladder Line.

Specs

This professional heavy-duty cutter cuts and fuses ends of polyester and nylon ropes and web quickly. Has holes for mounting and an off/on safety light.

Specs

The plastic body clamps over the rope and cleans it with a combination of water pressure and brushing action. The inside is lined with AstroTurf, which scrubs the rope as it is pulled though the washer. The PVC housing is made with a flexible vinyl hinge co-extruded for longevity. Hook-and-loop fasteners adjust for different rope and hose diameters up to 3/4 in (19 mm).

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.

The CMC Short Haul Line features synthetic fibers that deliver an unbeatable strength-to-weight ratio. The line is non-conductive and can be stuffed and stored in a rope bag without risk of kinking or damaging the life safety rope. These characteristics are combined with low-volume storage, a high-visibility sheath, and extremely low-stretch characteristics (less than 0.5% at 600 lb [272 kg]). The line comes complete with 1.5-inch (38-mm) diameter stainless-steel thimbles spliced at both ends and is compliant with Department of Interior Standard 351 DM 1. Custom lengths are available by special order. Provision available for aircraft equipped with dual hook systems.

SMC‚ Compact U Rack has many advantages over other small U racks beyond SMC‚ quality manufacturing. The ingenious design prevents the bars from sliding around the bottom of the rack. The standard rack width allows it to be rigged on two ropes. The upper and lower tie off bars provide a greater variability of friction and secure tie off.

Specs

• Stainless Steel

Angled slot brake bars formed in a U shape. Stainless steel bars will not leave aluminum streaks on your rope and will last longer than aluminum bars. Available with or without training groove.

PMI SuperMantle Rope Guard

The most sought-after edge protection available features super slick, high-performance material that not only protects your rope from sharp or rough edges, but also greatly reduces friction. The Ultra-Pro is lighter and easier to transport than edge rollers or similar devices and its lower profile avoids tipping often encountered with taller devices. It conforms to the edge, and prevents sharp bends in the rope. Protectors are available in two sizes: the Ultra-Pro 2 is for two ropes, and the Ultra-Pro 4 accepts four ropes. Carabiner holes in all four corners allow the Ultra-Pro to be tied off for safety or linked together for extended protection.
