Features
The CMC AZTEK ProSeries System is the first AZTEK system to be UL Classified to NFPA 1983 (2017 ED) – General Use – Manufactured System. The system is thoughtfully designed to support rescue teams and each component has been tested and proven to work efficiently in a multitude of lab and field scenarios. Everything comes pre-rigged and fully assembled for immediate deployment.
The set-of-fours includes 15.2 m (50 ft) of 8 mm AZTEK ProSeries Cord, which is CMC’s high-performance 100% nylon blend. These can extend to 3.6 m (12 ft) while providing a 4:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage with a Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) of 38 kN (8,542 lbf).
For a personal edge travel-restrict with nearly 15.2 m (50 ft) of adjustable travel, attach the carabiner of the personal end of the system to an appropriate anchor and restrict edge travel using the integrated Purcell connected to your harness. The sleeved web edge-pro helps protect the cord around anchors with abrasive surfaces.
