When two CLUTCH devices are brought together in the Double CLUTCH Technique, rescuers can maintain nearly equal tension on both lines so that the load, often involving a rescuer, litter, and a victim, is shared across two rope systems, reducing the risk of a single line failure. Innovative features of the CLUTCH make it ideal for TTRS including the ratcheting rotating sheave, Anti-Panic brake, force limiting protection, and integrated becket. The CLUTCH is smooth, efficient and intuitive, allowing rescuers to haul with ease and lower with control. Rescue teams can shoulder their packs knowing they have everything they need to quickly and efficiently deploy twin tension rope systems (TTRS). Organized, color-coded, and ready-to-go, this kit minimizes gear sorting and allocation. With the DCTTRS Kit, rescuers can build mechanical advantage systems on two rope systems simultaneously, including a 3:1, 3:1 with change of direction, or complex 5:1.


The CMC Rope Rescue Technician Manual has become the standard reference for many departments and rope rescue training programs.
