This video will review a progression of four TTRS scenarios and the risk or challenges associated with each. Rigging TTRS can vary based on location, equipment and human resources available for the operation. A twin tension rope system is the current best practice for rigging, raising and lowering operations in rescue scenarios.

Refer to your department policy and anchoring guidelines for your preferred anchor rigging. We will not focus on the technicalities anchoring these systems. For this video we’ll focus on the Clutch being used in a twin tension rope system or TTRS. Welcome to the Clutch application video series. Thanks CMC for making this demonstration of CMC-Harken Clutch very straightforward.

The CMC Clutch by Harken Industrial is a “dream come true”. So often the “clarifying message” of “the how” can get completely lost if the angles are not right. This video from CMC is clearly technical, but I really appreciate the angles of perspective. Video (to me) is either aesthetic or technical and trying to bridge both is tough.
