An innovation in rope rescue! The MPD allows you to go from lowering to raising without changing hardware. More than nine years of research and development went into the patented Multi-Purpose Device (MPD), which features major innovations in advanced technical hardware for rope rescue professionals.
Machined from 1/2-inch (12.5-mm) plate, our classic Rescue 8 design has been refined for even better performance with today’s selection of rescue rope. Descenders no longer routinely use 5/8-in (16-mm) rope, so the smaller dimensions of our Rescue 8 provide greater control. The proprietary finish on the aluminum model provides outstanding wear resistance, while the nickel-chrome-plated steel model excels in high-wear situations, such as sandy, gritty environments.
Machined out of 3/8-inch (9.5-mm) aluminum stock, this compact figure 8 descender works well with escape lines or other small diameter ropes where minimum size and weight are the primary requirements. The rounded edges reduce sharp bends. The large carabiner hole accepts a wide variety of carabiners and helps prevent binding. The Survivor 8 features a hard anodized finish in a dark gray for users who require a non-reflective surface.
Easy to rig and handle when wearing gloves, this descender has smooth action on belay or rappel. Works well with either single or double ropes from 8mm to 12.5mm. Additional friction is gained by increasing the number of wraps. Carabiner hole can be used as a belay plate. Constructed from high quality aircraft grade 6061 aluminum for optimal strength to weight ratio.
Compact self-braking descender. Designed for rope access work (expert users only). Multi-functional handle allows the user to: - unblock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the free end of the rope - position himself while on the rope without tying off the device The automatic return system on the handle limits risks in case of an involuntary action by the user.
Figure 8 descender. For descending on single or double ropes. Square shape to reduce twisting of the ropes and formation of a lark's head hitch. High strength forged aluminum. Small hole can be used with thin ropes if necessary, or as a belay plate.
Self-braking descender with anti-panic function for rescue. Designed for rescue: lacks a gate Multi-functional handle allows the user to: - unblock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the braking side of the rope - move more easily on horizontal or low-angle terrain thanks to the button on the handle - to position himself while on the rope
Self-braking descender with anti-panic function for working on fixed ropes. Designed for work on a rope: the gate on the swinging side plate helps prevent dropping the device. Multi-functional handle allows the user to: - unblock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the braking side of the rope - move more easily on horizontal or low-angle terrain thanks to the button on the handle - to position himself while on the rope
Variable friction descender with braking bars. This rack updates the classic brake bar descender. The design and configuration of the bars makes it easy to set up and insert the rope. Compact and lightweight, the device allows the user to adjust the amount of friction during the descent to adapt to changing conditions (rope weight, terrain, etc.). The number of bars engaged on the rope may be adjusted at any time to obtain the desired amount of friction.
