Why It Belongs in Your Rescue Kit

• Versatility in one device: Functions as a hauling pulley, descent control, personal descender, belay device, and support for twin-tension rope systems — reducing the number of devices needed in the field.
• High efficiency: Delivers significantly greater hauling and descending efficiency compared to traditional cam-style devices, meaning smoother transitions and faster rigging.
• Rapid role change: Seamlessly switch between haul mode, lowering, ascent, and descent without removing or swapping components — saving time and minimizing confusion.
• Rope-system optimization: Ideal for twin-tension systems, allowing safe, efficient management of both main and belay lines.
• Durable, field-tested construction: Machined aluminum body, stainless steel wear guards, rotating sheave, anti-panic brake, and overload protection — all built for demanding rescue environments.

Typical Applications for First Responders & Technical Teams

• High-angle rope rescue operations on towers, cliffs, or structures
• Confined-space and structural-collapse rescues where versatility and compactness are essential
• Rope-access and tactical team setups requiring quick deployment and reliable load management
• Training programs seeking to streamline equipment and standardize team performance

The Bottom Line

For agencies and departments that demand versatility, durability, and efficiency, the CMC CLUTCH™ by Harken Industrial provides a single solution for multiple rope operations. Whether hauling, lowering, or descending, this device adapts to your needs — simplifying gear load, improving safety, and enhancing performance on the job.

Efficient. Versatile. Rescue-Ready.

Our CAPTO™ is an intuitive device that combines a multi-functional rope grab, high-efficiency pulley, and integrated becket for easy hauling and ascending. Built around an innovative V-groove Cam, CAPTO is designed to handle rescue loads while providing force-limiting overload protection. CAPTO is available in gray for 10.5-11 mm (7/16 in) rope and red for 12.5-13 mm (1/2 in) rope. Both models are certified to NFPA General Use. 

Compact, versatile, and easy to use, CAPTO is well-suited to a multitude of technical applications in personal and team-based systems for rescue and rope access. It replaces multiple devices in one, streamlining training and operations. Through its combination of features and built-in force-limiting capabilities, CAPTO provides technicians with a greater degree of safety and efficiency for hauling and ascending.

Features:

• Combines a rope grab, pulley, and becket in a compact device for hauling & ascending.
• Incorporates a force-limiting V-groove Cam designed to provide overload protection.
• Installs quickly on tensioned and un-tensioned lines, no need for knots or hitches.
• Opens one-handed and gives simultaneous access to components for rapid rigging.
• Builds efficient M/A systems and smoothly progresses from a 3:1 to a 5:1 M/A.
• Releases and resets easily, even after high loading, making it ideal for rescues.
• Travels down rope in vertical systems, resetting and maximizing the haul field.
• Allows installation of an accessory loop for remote resets and device stowage.
• Provides an integrated becket for M/A components, lanyards, and foot loops.
• Works well in combination with piggy back systems and additional CAPTOs.
• Replaces multiple devices in one, streamlining training and operations.
• Patented. Made in the USA.

Components:

• Multi-functional rope grab with a force-limiting V-groove Cam
• High-efficiency, 44.5 mm (1.75 in) diameter sheave pulley
• Integrated becket independent from rope loading / unloading
• Moving sideplate with double-action release button
• Hollow cam axle for accessory loop installation (3.9 mm diameter)
• Ridged Cam Grip for one-handed device positioning

SWIVOS:

 Its rounded carabiner frame clips easily into the CAPTO becket and other wide attachment points, improving load distribution and reducing the risk of binding. SWIVO’s integrated components allow it to simplify rigging, maximize travel, and create seamless transitions. When paired with the CAPTO, SWIVO enables rapid conversion from a 3:1 to a 5:1, increasing ease and efficiency for haul teams.

Ergonomic and efficient, SWIVO can be operated one-handed using the double-detent button, pivoting sideplate, and auto-locking gate. It excels in M/A systems and works well with high anchors, tripods, and redirects. The oval carabiner frame is designed for high strength and meets NFPA Technical Use. SWIVO is patented, made in the USA, and brought to you by two companies committed to quality and service.
