DESCRIPTION

The 540 Rescue Belay is a mechanical belay device designed and engineered for fire service and industrial rescue teams. The Belay is NFPA 1983 General Use/Patented.

It has an integral release lever eliminating the need for a separate release device or hitch. This reduces complexity rigging time and a reduced chance of error.

With the 540 Rescue Belay the tension of a locked-up belay is simply transferred back to the mainline by using the built-in release lever. The 540 allows loading from either side resulting in allowing either end of the rope to be used as the load line. This greatly reduces the risk of an improperly loaded device and increases operator efficiency.

The 540 Rescue Belay passes the British Columbia Council of Technical Rescue's demanding Belay Competence Drop Test Criteria of being able to catch a 1m drop of a 280kg (617 lb) rescue-sized load onto 3m of 12.7mm kernmantle rescue rope within 1m of additional travel (pre-rebound) and with less than 15kN peak force.
