Designed for operation with one hand. A cleverly designed locking mechanism allows the rope to be inserted without removing the device from the anchor, it cannot be opened when the pulley is loaded. A toothed cam is designed for an immediate and strong grab on ropes from 8 to 13 mm.
This cam is enabled and disabled with a protected switch inside the flanges to prevent accidental opening. One movement to open the cam for easier insertion or removal of the rope. Or use the device as a non-locking simple pulley. Two movements to enable the cam.
The two attachment points (main attachment point and the becket hole) allowing for rotation of carabiners for ease of use.
Large diameter sheave with sealed ball bearings – very high efficiency (95%).
Robust construction features hot forged side plates, precision milled aluminum alloy sheave, and stainless steel cam, rivets and pins.

Camp TURBOCHEST – Chest ascender

Additional DescriptionMore Details

A revolutionary chest ascender that features two proprietary rollers for a smooth interface with the rope. This not only helps with climbing efficiency by making the upward glide much smoother. It also reduces dangerous wear and tear on the device where the rope tends to rub on the body of a traditional ascender. The perfectly profiled closure keeps the rope in line with the body of the device and the rollers to prevent the rope from escaping the device during tight pendulums and traverses. Self-cleaning holes on both the body and the cam help prevent the build up of grit and grime. Thicker body plates and a shaped connection point reduce wear on the device caused by shifting between the device and the connector (especially when used with steel connectors). This also keeps the device more in line with the body during use. The opening mechanism is simple and secure with the ability to lock the device open for easier attachment and a removable pull cord that makes it easier to operate while wearing gloves. The proprietary rollers also allow the Turbochest to be rigged as a locking pulley for light hauling with a max load of 50 kg, 110 lbs. NOTE: This configuration is not intended for hauling or securing of bodies.
