UL Classified to NFPA 1983 - General Use
Pulley - Auxiliary - Descent Control
Variable-friction descent control device for rescue systems and rappels
High efficiency pulley with an integral rope-locking mechanism (ratchet) for a haul system
Rescue belay device
Meets BCCTR Rescue Belay Competency Criteria
Becket allows rigging cleaner and more efficient pulley systems
For use with 1/2 in. (13mm*) rope
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 it ideal for confined space operations
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. 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.
*Designed for use with 12.5mm-13mm rope. Rope used for certification rounded up to 13mm per NFPA 1983.
