Features:

  • Single wearable tool for efficient hauling, controlled lowering, smooth personal descent, easy ascending, belaying, and Twin Tension Rope Systems.

  • 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, doing the job of multiple pieces of equipment.

  • Combines the key features of load management devices and personal descenders: 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 twin-tensioned in mirrored or nested configurations (Double CLUTCH Technique).

  • Replaces 8 pieces of traditional equipment: pulley, rescue rack, anchor plate, load release strap, prusik cord, and 3 carabiners.

  • 11 mm CLUTCH and CMC G11™ build NFPA G-Rated systems using 11mm rope, saving space and reducing weight.

  • 11 mm CLUTCH is compatible with 10.5 – 11 mm rope and certified to NFPA General Use, ANSI, and EN standards.

  • 13 mm CLUTCH is compatible with 12.5 – 13 mm rope and certified to NFPA General Use and ANSI standards.

  • Patented. Made in the USA.

Components:

  • Stainless steel ratcheting and rotating sheave provides efficient and audible auto-locking progress capture.

  • Rope loading/unloading is secured with an innovative double-latched side plate that is independent of the device‘s attachment point.

  • Anti-Panic brake and force limiting features ensure operational safety and overload protection.

  • Machined aluminum chassis clad with stainless steel wear guards ensures light weight and durability.

  • Integrated becket allows for the direct connection of mechanical advantage components.

  • Control handle has large sweet spot for smooth, progressive lowering and descent control.

  • Included screw can be installed in the side plate to create closed rope systems for rapid deployment.
