The CMC Rescue Rack offers several innovative features to provide enhanced performance. The “fat” aluminum bars provide excellent control for rescue loads. The bars are center drilled to reduce weight and allow better heat dissipation. The finish also prevents transfer of material to the rope, common with bare aluminum bars. The Turbo Bar at the top has a tie-off pin on the side. The second bar has a straight slot to help warn the user of a misrigged rack. Since the top two bars do most of the work, they are a full one inch in diameter. The next four angled slot bars are 7/8 inch. The stainless steel frame has a welded eye. The rack comes assembled, ready for use.
SPARROW 200
The new Sparrow 200 self-braking descender allows the operator to position and lower themselves on the working line. To be used only with static and semi static ropes – EN 1891 type A – Ø 11mm.
- Rescue descender certified to EN 341:2011/2A working load limit 200 Kg, max descent height 180 m.
- Rope adjustment device certified to EN 12841:2006/C working load limit 210 Kg.
The handy alternative for shorter drops or lighter loads. To reduce weight, the rack is drawn from 5/16" stainless steel, and the solid bars are formed from anodized aluminum. Prerigged with two fixed bars and two straight-slotted bars.
Our HyperBars, a solid anodized aluminum bar with a single lock-off pin, allow for easier and safer lock offs. The HyperRack includes a single HyperBar. Our new Hyper Rack Extreme adds a second, opposing Hyper Bar. Two lock off pins on the same side of the rack make the Hyper Rack Extreme even easier to lock and unlock.

CMI Sport Racks are formed from 3/8" diameter stainless steel and are fitted with oversize stainless steel bars. We chose stainless steel over aluminum because of its "wearever" qualities. In order to compensate for the reduced friction inherent in stainless bars, we increased the radius of the friction surface to a full 1/2". The result is a longer wearing bar with maximum control. With the "open back" style of the bars featured on CMI Rappel Racks, improper rigging is easier to spot which aids in accident avoidance.
CMI Rescue Racks are designed along the lines of the original "super rack." They come pre-rigged with six bars, five straight slotted stainless steel and an oversize aluminum top bar to aid in locking off.
The best device hands down for passing knots in ropes easily and efficiently. Bead blasted and anodized for long wearing friction this lowering device offers tie-off capability. Special risers on the bottom keep it off the ground while in use. Works with virtually any size life safety rope. Not to be used for rappelling.
Wide friction range for ropes from 6-13mm. Rubber insert to fit tight on your carabiner. Only 60 gm

Just right for SWAT teams, climbers, cavers, and sport rappelers, the slightly more compact design of the Rappel 8 offers superb control on smaller rope. Machined from a 1/2-inch (12.5 mm) aluminum plate and sporting 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 to 11mm / 3/8 to 7/16 in), it is certified Technical Use.

The Russ Anderson/SMC Figure 8 (with ears) is one of the most popular full-sized descenders used by professionals throughout the rescue, fire service, police/tactical and industrial/work related markets. This is the smaller of two sizes of Figure 8 (the other is a non-NFPA model) this model is ideal for working with a single or a double wrap of rope up to 1/2'' in diameter. The ''ears'' of this design help to eliminate the potential for ropes slipping up into a girth hitch and also make it easier to ''tie off'' when on rappel. product. The oval carabiner hole doubles as a belay plate for up to 1/2'' rope. Machined from 1/2'' thick, solid aluminum, heat-treated bar and then finished with a very tough, hard-anodized finish for extra durability.
NFPA Certified 6-Bar Stainless Steel Rappel Rack Assembly with 1 Stainless Steel Tie-off Bar, 4 Bright and 1 Blue Anodized Aluminum Brake Bars.
UL Classified to NFPA 1983 - General/Technical Use.
Machined from 1/2-inch (12.5-mm) plate, our classic Rescue 8 design has been refined for even better performance with today’s selection of rescue rope. Descenders no longer routinely use 5/8-in (16-mm) rope, so the smaller dimensions of our Rescue 8 provide greater control. The proprietary finish on the aluminum model provides outstanding wear resistance, while the nickel-chrome-plated steel model excels in high-wear situations, such as sandy, gritty environments. The extended carabiner hole accommodates multiple carabiners.
* Certified range of rope diameters and CMC’s recommendation for best performance.
Big enough to handle the largest ropes--two of them. Extended horns on the upper ring prevent rope from sliding up and locking when tying off. Dual holes on the tie-in end all the eight to remain attached to the harness while threading the rope, preventing loss of the device in extreme conditions. The industry standard for rescue grade descenders. 10,000 lbs MBS
