Passes the BCCTR Rescue Belay Competence Drop Test Criteria*. Developed specfically to meet the needs of rescue sytem belays. The well-engineered Traverse 540° is a patented, self-locking, easy-to-rig device that meets demanding drop-test criteria: able to hold falling loads quickly while limiting the peak force. The symmetrical design reduces the risk of improper rigging. A built-in release lever discharges the tension on the belay rope, eliminating the need for a release hitch.
Designed for Emergency Rappel. In a class by itself, CMC Rescue offers the only NFPA Certified Uniform Rappel Belt available. Designed for everyday wear but with the performance needed for an emergency rappel or belay. Standard uniform wear for search and rescue, SWAT and fire rescue personnel, the belt is constructed to the same exacting standards as our harness line and is the only certified uniform belt available.
