Control handle has large sweet spot for smooth, progressive lowering and descent control. Integrated becket allows for the direct connection of mechanical advantage components. Machined aluminum chassis clad with stainless steel wear guards ensures light weight and durability. Anti-Panic brake and force limiting features ensure operational safety and overload protection. Rope loading/unloading is secured with an innovative double-latched side plate that is independent of the device‘s attachment point. Stainless steel ratcheting and rotating sheave provides efficient and audible auto-locking progress capture. The 13 mm CLUTCH is compatible with 12.5 – 13 mm rope and certified to NFPA 1983 General Use and ANSI standards. It’s the only device for 10.5 – 11 mm rope that carries all these certifications. The 11 mm CLUTCH is compatible with 10.5 – 11 mm rope and certified to NFPA 1983 General Use, ANSI, and EN standards. The 11 mm CLUTCH and CMC’s G11™ Lifeline can be used together to build NFPA G-Rated systems using 11mm rope, saving space and reducing weight. Replaces 8 pieces of traditional equipment: pulley, rescue rack, anchor plate, load release strap, prusik cord, and 3 carabiners. Allows main and belay lines to be mirrored, twin-tensioned, or nested in Double CLUTCH technique (handles controlled by single operator). Instantly transitions between hauling and lowering or ascent and descent without having to transfer the load. Combines the key features of personal descenders and load management devices: reducing equipment training and cost. Moves seamlessly between anchor-based systems and personal use: reducing gear cache volume and weight. Delivers up to 38% higher efficiency in hauling and ascending than a cam-style device: reducing changeovers. Single wearable tool for efficient hauling, controlled lowering, smooth personal descent, easy ascending, belaying, and Twin Tension Rope Systems. 
It moves seamlessly between anchor-based systems and personal use, offering unmatched versatility for the rope technician. Suited to a multitude of rigging operations, the CLUTCH delivers efficient operation, ease of use, and optimal control. This multi-purpose device was designed and engineered in collaboration by two companies with a collective 90 year history in rope management under heavy loads: CMC, a company with roots in rescue and rope access, and Harken Industrial, a manufacturing company with roots in high performance sailing.
Introducing the all-new CLUTCH, the latest evolution in rescue and rope access hardware that enables the technical rope professional to do more with less.
