Go from Lowering to Raising without Changing Hardware

- A variable-friction descent control device for rescue systems and rappels
- Incorporates high efficiency pulley with an integral rope-locking mechanism (ratchet) for a haul system
- The built-in becket allows cleaner rigging and more efficient pulley systems
- The MPD allows main line and belay line rigging to be mirror images of one another
- One device functions as both a lowering brake and as a ratcheting pulley for raising
- It's ideal for confined space operations because it converts rapidly to a retrieval line
- Meets BCCTR Rescue Belay Competency Criteria**

More than nine years of research and development went into our patented Multi-Purpose Device (MPD), which features major innovations in advanced technical hardware for rope rescue professionals. The MPD’s high-efficiency pulley, with an integral rope-grab mechanism, means it can be used as a lowering device on the main line and belay line systems and be quickly changed over to a raising system without switching out or replacing hardware. The combination of essential features into a single device simplifies on-scene rigging, expediting the rescue. The revolutionary MPD increases user safety with:
- Reduced Weight
- Fewer Components
- Faster Rigging
- Quick Changeovers
- Simplified Train

Available in Two Sizes:

• 11mm Rope (Slate)
• 13mm Rope (Red)
