Product Description
The HURRICANE is a unique, patented casualty recovery device designed to create a pulley system at any point along a kernmantle rope, enabling fast, efficient lifting of a suspended casualty. Winner of the British Safety Industry Federation Innovation Award, the HURRICANE provides a compact, easy-to-use alternative to traditional complex rescue systems.
Constructed from lightweight alloy and featuring the advanced X-Cam™ tooth design, the device provides immediate, secure grip on the rope while minimizing sheath damage—even in extreme cases where the rope sheath is compromised. The X-Cam can hold over 100 kg even if the rope’s sheath is ruptured.
Its ergonomic, low-profile design, self-locking pulley catch, and intuitive operation make it especially suitable for non-expert rescuers who need to act quickly in high-stress environments. The system reduces rope requirement by approximately 70%, allowing lifting systems to be set up remote from the casualty.
