(12.5-mm) plate, our classic Rescue 8 design has beenrefined for even better performance with today’s selection of rescue rope. Descendersno longer routinely use 16-mm (5/8-in.) rope, so the smaller dimensions of ourRescue 8 provide greater control. The proprietary finish on the aluminum modelprovides outstanding wear resistance, while the nickel-chrome-plated steel modelexcels in high-wear situations, such as sandy, gritty environments. The extendedcarabiner hole accommodates multiple carabiners.Item # Material Rope Size* NFPA Rating 3σ MBS Large Hole Weight Price300840 Aluminum 11.5 – 13 mm (7/16-1/2 in.)

Machined from a 1/2-in. (12.5 mm) aluminum plate and sporting CMC’ssuperior proprietary finish for even longer wear resistance, the Rappel 8 contains almost twice the material of othersmall 8s, providing better heat dissipation. Because the Rappel 8 was optimized for use with NFPA Light Use rope(9.5 to 11 mm / 3/8 to 7/16 in.), it is certified Light Use.Item # Material Rope Size* NFPA Rating 3σ MBS Large Hole Weight Price300845 Aluminum 9.5-11 mm (3/8 to 7/16 in.)

The rounded edges reduce sharp bends. The largecarabiner hole accepts a wide variety of carabiners and helps prevent binding. The Survivor 8 features a hard anodized finish in adark gray for users who require a non-reflective surface.Item # Material Rope Size* NFPA Rating 3σ MBS Large Hole Weight Price300875 Aluminum 9.5 mm (3/8 in.)

Workingwith a company that specializes in material coatings, we developed a finish for our Rescue 8 and Rappel 8that outwears every descender we’ve used. After years of heavy use, test samples continue to be used in CMCRescue School classes without showing any indication of the surface wearing through.Traverse 540˚Rescue BelayDeveloped Specifically to Meetthe Needs of Rescue System BelaysUL Classified to NFPA 1983 – General UsePasses the BCCTR Rescue Belay Competency Drop Test Criteria*331540331542The well-engineered Traverse 540° is a patented, self-locking, easy-to-rigdevice that meets demanding drop-test criteria: able to hold falling loadsquickly while limiting the peak force. The symmetrical design reduces the riskof improper rigging. A built-in release lever discharges the tension on the belayrope, eliminating the need for a release hitch.Item # Model Rope Size 3σ MBS Weight Price331540 Large Belay 11.5 – 13 mm 36 kN (8,093 lbf.) 1 lb. 6 oz.

For a General Use rated device, a 280-kg load and a12.5-mm rope are generally used. For a Light Use device, a 200-kg load and an 11.1-mmrope are used.cmc rescue | 800-235-5741 | 805-562-9120Personal Gear Auxiliary Equipment Patient Care & Transport Systems & Kits Bags & Packs Anchor Devices Rope & Web Hardware Harnesses
