CMC River Rescue Z-Rig kit
The CMC River Rescue Z-Rig Kit includes the water-compatible equipment necessary for setting up a 3:1 Z-Rig mechanical advantage system for river rescue incidents. Compact ProTech Pulleys minimize bulk and weight, and an included Rappel 8 allows for controlled lowering.
The CMC River Rescue Z-Rig Kit comes with bags and packs for easy equipment organization, storage, transport, and deployment.
CMC Rappel 8: A slightly more compact design offers superb control on smaller rope. Machined from a 12.5-mm (1/2-inch) aluminum plate and utilizing CMC’s superior proprietary finish for even longer wear resistance, the Rappel 8 contains almost twice the material of other small 8s, providing better heat dissipation. Because the Rappel 8 was optimized for use with NFPA Technical Use rope 9.5-11 mm (3/8-7/16 in), it is certified Technical Use.
CMC Anchor Plate: A CMC original design that has withstood the test of time, CMC Anchor Plates keep the carabiners holding the different parts of your rescue system from jamming together. The hardware becomes easier to see, making safety checks more accurate. It can also keep you from clipping a carabiner into the wrong loop of the anchor web. For anchor systems, it makes an excellent collection point. Hole diameters: small – 7/8 in (22 mm), large – 2 in (51 mm).
CMC ProTech Carabiners: Ideal for rescue and rope access, these anodized carabiner’s patented key-lock design does not hang up when unclipping from your harness or web. An optimized D-shape maximizes strength, and the wide gate opening fits over 1-inch (25-mm) diameter railings, unusual for a carabiner this compact and light. Safety indicators etched on the gate augment easy one-hand operation. Every carabiner is proof loaded. Serial numbers on every carabiner.
CMC ProTech Sigle Pulley: Ideal for mountain rescue, swift water, ski patrol, tower work or other technical uses, where equipment weight is a significant consideration, these lightweight, full-strength Prusik-minding pulleys feature extremely low-profile stainless steel hardware to reduce snagging on rocks, roots, and uneven surfaces. By machining the side plates, the thickness of the metal can be optimized to maximize the strength-to-weight ratio, a process that cannot be done with the traditional bent metal side plates. The unique axle assembly delivers a smooth side plate and impressive strength. The aluminum sheave is mounted on sealed ball bearings for high efficiency. Ideal for small block-and-tackle kits. Note: Not compatible with 1/2-in (12.5-mm) or larger ropes.
7/16" River Rescue Rope: A Rescue System Rope That Floats! Intended for high-load applications that normally call for a lifeline, but also require a rope that floats, CMC River Rescue Rope is compatible with Prusik hitches, ascenders, pulleys, and other rescue hardware. Its core is polyolefin covered with a tough, abrasion-resistant nylon sheath.
