Unlocking Efficiency and Safety: The CAPTO and CLUTCH Mechanical Advantage System

By / Blog, CMC Clutch by Harken Industrial, CMC Rescue, Designing Your Processes, Equipment, Harken Industrial, Highline Rigging, Mainline Systems and Operations, Mechanical Advantage, Pulley Systems, Pulleys & Mechanical Advantage

Welcome to a new era in rope access and rescue operations, where innovation meets simplicity. In the world of technical rope work, the challenges of complexity, safety concerns, and limited versatility have met their match. Introducing CAPTO and CLUTCH – a dynamic duo designed to transform the way technicians approach their work. The following is …

A FRAME | QUAD BUNDLE HIGHLINE | Horizontal Rigging

By / Blog, Elevated Anchor Systems, Equipment, General Rigging, Highline Rigging, Horizontal Rigging, Mainline Systems and Operations, Pat Rhodes, Prusik Strength and Use

Let’s look at the floating A-frame of our quad system right now. The floating A-frame is being guyed forward and backwards with the prusiks directly connected to the track line system. Okay. So this is our guying system front and back. This is pretty clean right here the way the guys put this together… a …

A Frame | TWIN BUNDLE HIGHLINE | Horizontal Rigging

By / Blog, Elevated Anchor Systems, Equipment, General Rigging, Highline Rigging, Horizontal Rigging, Mainline Systems and Operations, Pat Rhodes, Portable Anchors, Prusik Strength and Use

We’ve moved over to the floating A-frame, very much like the floating A-frame that we used for the single track line, but as we said, we’ve added the second track line here. It’s very important that these two track lines be tensioned the same. We would never mix products, for instance. We would never have …

Gin Pole | TWIN BUNDLE | Horizontal Rigging

By / Blog, Elevated Anchor Systems, General Rigging, Highline Rigging, Horizontal Rigging, Mainline Systems and Operations, Pat Rhodes, Prusik Strength and Use

We’ve moved ourself down now looking at, the opposite end of the control side. We’re on the gin pole side, the “A” frame being the other side. And, let’s just talk about this real quick. Again, very similar to what we had with the single track line. We have the the twin bundle track line …

How To Use The Petzl Reeve Carriage Pulley: Reeving Highlines

By / Anchors, Artificial High Directional AHD, Blog, Equipment, Highline Rigging, Horizontal Rigging, Knot Craft, Offset Track Line, Tracking Lines, Twin Tension Rope System, Two (Twin) Tension Rope Systems, Two Tensioned Rope Rescue Systems / 152 Comments

  Let’s take a look at the Petzl REEVE carriage pulley and some of its common uses. The REEVE is made from two high-efficiency pulleys mounted onto a rigging plate. This design simplifies setting up rescue systems on a highline by reducing the amount of equipment needed as well as reducing the overall height of …

4 Fundamentals of Force Multiplier Mechanics

By / Arizona Vortex, Artificial High Directional AHD, Blog, Dynamic Directional, Elevated Anchor Systems, Highline Rigging, Horizontal Rigging, Mainline Systems and Operations, Portable Anchors, Principles of Learning, Pulleys & Mechanical Advantage

Force multipliers and the four fundamentals of mechanics are important to understand in order to be a successful creator. The force multiplier is the means by which you can increase the force that you output, while the four fundamentals of mechanics are what keep your creation stable and functioning. If you want to be a …

When we developed ideas into courses, we considered many things.  Yes, we went through the SWOT analysis as well. Know this will get you What, Where, When, and How! Strengths Opportunities Weaknesses Threats I will let you reference this, however we went through all  4 elements before we engineered, designed, went to production and released …

Over time, we’ve found this style of deflection offset to be really fun. They have their limits, as with any system, but strength (when properly rigged and run) comes easy and we appreciate the versatility it offers. Large gaps or spans are typically the MO for dynamic directionals. We used a standard A-Frame configuration on …
