Petzl Rescucender Cam-Loaded Rope Clamp

The Rescucender is designed to reduce damage to the rope under shock loading. The cam has shallow, round grooves, which provides just enough friction against the rope for minimal damage in shock loading. Easy to disassemble - simply pull down and out on the latch pin assembly. The spring on the cam can be removed for those who prefer free running action. Macrograb and Micrograb replaces the latch pin assembly with a bolt. Made in USA.

Intended for moving on fixed ropes (as a back-up belay), for hauling heavy loads, and as a progress capture device in hauling systems.

Slides easily up the rope and jams when the cam is loaded.
Slides easily downwards if the cam is prevented from engaging.
If overloaded or subjected to an impact force, the rope may slip through the device.
Locking pin gives greater safety: disconnection from the rope requires two separate actions.
