Belay Hardware

CMC Rescue MPD

• Certified to NFPA 1983 - General Use
• Meets BCCTR Rescue Belay Competency Criteria
• Developed during four years of research & testing, the MPD is the next major advance in technical hardware for professional rope rescuers - a multi-purpose device that performs all functions for main lines, belay/safety lines, tag lines and hoisting lines.
• Variable-friction descent control device for rescue systems and rappels
• High efficency pulley with an integral rope-locking mechanism (ratchet) for a haul system
• The MPD can be used to tension high lines and guiding lines.
• Training and on-scene rigging can be greatly simplified by having a single device.
• Rescue system changeover from a lowering system to a raising system becomes faster and safer by eliminating the need to switch out and replace hardware.
• Release knob has "anti-panic" locking
• Becket allows rigging cleaner and more efficient pulley systems
• Allows the main line and belay line rigging to be mirror images
• Functions as lowering brake and as ratcheting pulley for raising
• Rapid conversion to a retrieval line makes the MPD ideal for confined space operations
• Weight: 1.4kg (3 lbs)

540 Rescue Belay - Large

• Developed specifically to meet the needs of rescue system belays.
• Self-locking with sudden falls.
• The symmetric design of the 540°™ Rescue Belay allows bi-directional loading and locking, thus either end of the rope exiting the device may be used as the load line.
• Symmetric design reduces the risk of an improperly loaded device and increases operator efficiency.
• UL certified to NFPA 1983 (2001 ed) for General Use, and is CE certified in accordance with Art. 13 of the PPE Dir. (89/686/EEC).
• Has an integral release lever, eliminating the need for a separate release device or hitch.
• Allows tension of a locked-up belay to be simply transferred back to the mainline by using the built-in release lever.
• Passes the British Columbia Council of Technical Rescue's demanding Belay Competence Drop Test Criteria.
• Able to catch a 1 m drop of a 280 kg (617 lbs) rescue-sized load onto 3 m of 12.7 mm kernmantle rescue rope, within 1 m of additional travel (pre-rebound), and with less than 15 kN peak force.
• Minimum 40 kN (9000 lbf) breaking strength
• Weight: 624 grams (1 lb, 6 oz)
• Accepts 11.5-13 mm diameter kernmantle rescue ropes
