The CMC Capto’s ability to streamline complex systems while ensuring safety makes it an invaluable tool for modern rope rescue operations.

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 short video highlighting the CAPTO while demonstrating the entire CLUTCH CAPTO System.

 

The Problem

1. Equipment Complexity:

Navigating a maze of specialized devices can be a daunting task for technicians. The complexity of managing multiple tools not only consumes time but also poses a risk of errors in critical operations. We understand that the key to efficiency lies in simplifying the toolkit without compromising functionality.

2. Safety Concerns:

Safety is paramount in rope access and rescue, and the risk of overload during hauling and ascending operations is a real and pressing concern. Existing tools may lack robust force-limiting mechanisms, putting both technicians and rescue subjects at potential risk. It’s time for a solution that prioritizes safety without sacrificing performance.

3. Limited Versatility:

Technicians need to be adaptable in various rigging scenarios, but the limitation of specialized devices hinders their versatility. Carrying an array of tools not only complicates mobility but also restrains the ability to efficiently respond to diverse challenges. The call is for a solution that offers a versatile, all-encompassing tool for the modern rope professional.

In the pursuit of addressing these challenges head-on, we introduce CAPTO and CLUTCH – the culmination of cutting-edge design and decades of experience. Developed collaboratively by CMC and Harken Industrial (Clutch), two industry giants with roots in rescue, rope access, and high-performance sailing, these systems embody a commitment to excellence and innovation.
