Suited to a multitude of rigging operations, the CLUTCH delivers efficient operation, ease of use, and optimal control. It moves seamlessly between anchor-based systems and personal use, offering unmatched versatility for the rope technician. With the CLUTCH, more is possible.
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.
The 11 mm CLUTCH and CMC’s G11™ Lifeline can be used together to build NFPA G-Rated systems using 11mm rope, saving space and reducing weight.
The 11 mm CLUTCH is compatible with 10.5 – 11 mm rope and certified to NFPA 1983 General Use, ANSI, and EN standards. It’s the only device for 10.5 – 11 mm rope that carries all these certifications
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.
