The ever growing demand for the SMC Rescue StayK (picket system) from all divisions of the Emergency Response Industry, Fire Departments, Rope Rescue, Swift Water Rescue, etc., is due to the fact that all other picket systems are viewed as primitive at best. The SMC Rescue StayK system is versatile, accommodating, and by far the most effective, efficient, and reliable system available today that renders all other systems obsolete.

Fall arrest and work positioning harness with attachment point for vertical progression on rail or cable
Fall arrest and work positioning harness that is easily donned thanks to its EASYFIT design. A vest ensures the harness keeps its shape and the FAST automatic buckles (waistbelt and leg loop) allow the harness to be donned with both feet on the ground. The VOLT harness' anatomical design and wide, semi-rigid waistbelt ensure comfort throughout the work day. Its LADDER CLIMB attachment point allows for ventral attachment of the fall-arrest trolley, thus ensuring optimal comfort during progression. It is certified to Canadian and European standards.

Lightweight seat harness for rescue with waistbelt and leg loops lined with breathable perforated foam for maximum comfort. Waistbelt and leg loops equipped with self-locking DoubleBack buckles for quick and easy adjustment. The rear buckle allows a TOP or TOP CROLL chest harness, or a CROLL ventral rope clamp to be attached.

Widely described as the best rappel device in the world, rappel racks are simple, rugged, very versatile and a vital piece of rescue or work-safety equipment. While there are a variety of other devices such as Figure 8 Descenders and mechanical belay devices, the basic, standard length, six bar J-frame rappel rack has versatility that most devices lack, allowing the user to adjust friction by adding or removing bars while under load, doing so results in greater control of the rate of descent. A rappel rack may be quickly tied-off which then frees both hands in order to assist with an individual in rescue scenarios, for rigging other gear, and in a variety of other situations. All SMC Rappel Rack frames are stainless steel in order to provide exceptional strength, reliability, and durability.

If you want to start a heated debate among Rappel Rack aficionados just ask the group what style is best, J-Racks or U-Racks- Both share benefits such as providing the largest range of friction control with a variety of ropes, being great as either a lowering device or on rappel, not twisting ropes and so on. The benefit that people most often attribute to the U-Rack over the J-Rack is greater strength. This is a fallacy, despite being the common understanding, as the system fails when the rope brakes rather than the device breaking. As a result, both types of racks achieve similar ratings.

The SMC Rescue Swivel is built around a heat-treated steel axle and a sealed high efficiency ball-bearing to ensure flawless rotation during even prolonged and difficult raises in severe rock, mountain and rescue conditions. The holes are sized to work with rescue carabiners, and allow carabiner lock sleeves to pass through without hanging up. As one of the most compact swivels on the market, it is ideal for confined space rescue and other awkward hauling situations. The sides are smooth and rounded, helping to prevent hanging up on rocks, litters, or other components or structures. All SMC NFPA products are third party tested (by Underwriters Laboratories - UL) as required by NFPA 1983 (2012 edition) standards.

The Micro U-Rack provide even distribution of weight between both sides of the rack, does not twist rope, as can occur when using a Figure 8 type descender and may be used with single ropes of varying diameters without the loss of friction or control under varying weights and applications

The SMC Rappel Rack Frame is available in two eye configurations: conventional or with the eye twisted 90 degrees for correct rack orientation on a horizontal harness clip-in point, as is typical with most rescue harnesses. All the welding on this rack was done by certified aircraft welders.

With the possible exception of rope it can be argued that a pulley is one of the most important components used in all forms of rescue as well as wilderness and alpine exploration. Noting the unique requirements found in Swift Water Rescue, we created an entirely new pulley to address those needs. The Swiftwater fits between our Micro PMP and 3- PMPs in both size and work load, and represents a reasonably priced, non-NFPA alternative to other midsized pulleys.

The SMC U-Rack Frame is available in two sizes allowing for 4 Bar or 6 Bar configurations. Manufactured from Stainless Steel to provide optimal strength for building your own customized Rappel Rack. Just add the bars you desire and you're ready to go.

The SMC JR (Jigger Rescue) and JRB (JR with becket) double prusik minding pulleys have been designed to be compact, lightweight and cost effective. A key component of every rescue technician-s tool box, the JR and JRB pulleys provide tremendous versatility in the minimalist of ways. Couple the JR with a JRB pulley and you have a lightweight mechanical advantage system that can pull duty in rescue roles from litter tilting to piggy back systems.
