- 3-in-1 Design: Combines a rope grab, high-efficiency pulley, and integrated becket in one compact device.
- Force-Limiting V-groove Cam: Handles rescue loads while providing overload protection to help prevent shock loading.
- NFPA and CE Certified: Both models meet NFPA General Use; the 11 mm gray CAPTO is also certified to EN 12841, EN 567, and EN 12278.
- Two Rope-Matched Colors: Offered in gray for 7/16 in (10.5-11 mm) rope at 1.13 lb (513 g) or red for 1/2 in (12.5-13 mm) rope at 1.12 lb (508 g).
CMC CAPTO
The CMC CAPTO is a multifunctional rope grab, pulley, and becket designed for efficient hauling, ascending, and mechanical advantage systems. By combining three essential rope rescue components into one compact device, CAPTO simplifies rigging and reduces the number of separate devices needed in technical rescue and rope access systems.
Built around a force-limiting V-groove Cam, CAPTO is designed to handle rescue loads while providing overload protection. The device installs quickly on both tensioned and untensioned rope and can be operated with one hand, making it particularly effective for rope rescue, confined space rescue, and rope access applications.
Key Features and Highlights
- Three Functions in One: Combines a rope grab, high-efficiency pulley, and integrated becket in one compact device.
- Force-Limiting V-Groove Cam: Designed to provide overload protection and indicate when force limiting occurs.
- Fast One-Handed Rigging: Installs quickly on tensioned or untensioned rope with a double-action side plate.
- Mechanical Advantage: Builds 3:1 mechanical advantage systems and can be configured for higher mechanical advantage systems.
- High-Efficiency Pulley: Features a 44.5 mm (1.75 in) sheave designed for efficient hauling.
- Integrated Becket: Provides an attachment point for mechanical advantage components, lanyards, foot loops, and retention systems.
- Easy Resetting: Releases and resets after high loading, supporting efficient rescue hauling operations.
- Compact Rigging Solution: Combines multiple rescue functions into one device to simplify technical rigging systems.
- Made in the USA: Manufactured in the USA using domestic and foreign components.
Who Is This Product For?
Ideal for: technical rescue teams, rope rescue technicians, confined space rescue professionals, rope access technicians, and other users who need an efficient multifunctional device for hauling, ascending, and mechanical advantage systems.
CAPTO Rope Grab, Pulley and Becket
The CAPTO integrates three commonly used rope rescue components into one device. The rope grab provides progress capture, the high-efficiency pulley supports hauling, and the integrated becket provides an independent attachment point for mechanical advantage components and accessories. This integrated design can simplify rope systems while reducing the number of individual components required.
Rope Compatibility and Certifications
The CAPTO is available in two rope-size configurations. The 11 mm Gray model is designed for 10.5–11 mm (7/16 in) rope and the 13 mm Red model is designed for 12.5–13 mm (1/2 in) rope. Both models are classified to NFPA General Use for rope grab and pulley applications. The 11 mm CAPTO also carries EN 12841:2006/B, EN 567:2013, and EN 12278:2007 certifications.
