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, thanks to:

Faster rigging
Simplified training
Quicker changeovers
Fewer components
Reduced weight
Lower risk
