SQUID - 3D anchor block

CMC innovates and completes the range of 3D rigging plates.

This large block is simple and extremely strong, even in lateral forcing directions.

4500 kg (daN) in the main directions and 2770 kg (daN) laterally on the lower parts.

The SQUID is primarily designed to be able to align two descenders in parallel without their handles getting in the way, but its versatility is enormous and many other applications will come from user innovations.

In the entertainment and aerial acrobatic disciplines sectors, this 3D anchor block will naturally find its place for the needs of spreaders, Y-shaped bridle suspensions and 3D guy lines.

Description

SQUID is an innovative solution for twin tension rope systems (TTRS) (Rope rescue, Zip lines...) and load-sharing applications.

Its multi-planar design features a large attachment point for redundant anchoring (double or triple carabiner possible) and two perpendicular points for great freedom of movement of each element in relation to the others and optimal alignment.

SQUID efficiently brings two hardware devices side-by-side for dual operation and better shared tension.

SQUID also sets ideal spacing between devices, allowing a single operator to maintain simultaneous twin tension control using dual-handle technique (aka “shark finning” or “DOUBLE CLUTCHING”).

SQUID promotes safe and efficient rigging of dual capacity TTRS and provides smooth raising and lowering in mirrored and nested systems.

SQUID streamlines the rigging of redundant load-sharing systems.

The SQUID’s attachment points are compatible with a wide range of connection methods and they position rope hardware for easy loading and unloading while connected.

SQUID naturally orients toward the load and lets components move freely, reducing the risk of binding and shifting in the event of anchor or line failure.

Strong and compact, SQUID is a versatile tool for TTRS, litter bridals, cross hauls, and more.

SQUID is CE marked, classified to NFPA General Use for specific configurations including TTRS, and classified to NFPA Technical Use when the secondary points are pulled directly apart from each other.
