Roco Rescue

Originally designed as a personal escape device for firefighters in bailout situations, this ultra-light and compact descender is now the personal choice of countless members of SAR and Ski Patrol teams, law enforcement and military around the globe. Its compact size and light weight makes it convenient to pack in a turnout coat or bail-out kit.

By using extensive computer analysis and field testing to optimize geometry we've designed this descender so that it works extremely well on single and double ropes up to 7.5 mm, and yet can be used on single ropes up to 12.5 mm. Single or double wrap allows the right amount of friction needed for a fast, yet controlled descent.

The ears help to minimize the training required for using this descender. CNC machined from 3/8" thick aircraft aluminum. Color choices are gold or black for tactical applications.

All SMC NFPA products have the required certification information stamped on the item and the user information is enclosed with each item as required by NFPA.
