Go from Lowering to Raising without Changing Hardware

• A variable-friction descent control device for rescue systems and rappels
• Incorporates high efficiency pulley with an integral rope-locking mechanism (ratchet) for a haul system
• The built-in becket allows cleaner rigging and more efficient pulley systems
• The MPD allows main line and belay line rigging to be mirror images of one another
• One device functions as both a lowering brake and as a ratcheting pulley for raising
• It’s ideal for confined space operations because it converts rapidly to a retrieval line
• Meets BCCTR Rescue Belay Competency Criteria**

More than nine years of research and development went into our patented Multi-Purpose Device (MPD), which features major innovations in advanced technical hardware for rope rescue professionals. The MPD’s high-efficiency pulley, with an integral rope-grab mechanism, means it can be used as a lowering device on the main line and belay line systems and be quickly changed over to a raising system without switching out or replacing hardware. The combination of essential features into a single device simplifies on-scene rigging, expediting the rescue. The revolutionary MPD increases user safety with:
