Rescue Kits & Rigging Hardware

Rescue and rigging hardware is the metal equipment that connects, controls and redirects rope in a rescue or rope access system: carabiners and hooks, descenders, pulleys and rigging plates.

Complete rescue kits bundle rope, hardware and a bag into a ready-to-deploy system, such as a tower or elevated-work descent kit or a litter rigging kit for moving a patient.

When choosing hardware, check the rated strength, the gate type and locking mechanism on connectors, and that each device is compatible with your rope diameter. Inspect hardware before each use and retire it after a significant fall or visible damage.
