UL Certified to NFPA 1983 - General Use
Passes the BCCTR Rescue Belay Competence Drop Test Criteria*
Developed specifically to meet the needs of rescue system belays, the 540° Rescue Belay is a self-locking device that meets demanding drop-test criteria - able to hold falling loads quickly while limiting the peak force. This well engineered device is easy to rig and the symmetrical design reduces the risk of improper loading. A built-in release lever releases the tension on the belay rope, eliminating the need for a release hitch. Designed for use with kernmantle rescue ropes from 11.5 to 13mm.
*The British Columbia Council on the Technical Rescue Belay Competence Drop Test specifies a 1 meter drop of a 280 kg load onto 3 meters of 12.7 mm kernmantle rescue rope, with less than 1 meter of additional travel and less than 15kN peak force.
