CMC Harkin Clutch Multi Purpose Device MPD
The all-new CLUTCH from CMC & Harken is the latest evolution in rescue and rope access hardware that enables the technical rope professional to do more with less. It is a single wearable tool for hauling, controlled lowering, smooth personal descent, easy ascending, belaying, and Twin Tension Rope Systems.
This multi-purpose device was designed and engineered in collaboration by two companies with a collective 90 year history in rope management under heavy loads: CMC, a company with roots in rescue and rope access, and Harken Industrial, a manufacturing company with roots in high performance sailing.
Suited to a multitude of rigging operations, the CLUTCH delivers efficient operation, ease of use, and optimal control. It moves seamlessly between anchor-based systems and personal use, offering unmatched versatility for the rope technician. With the CLUTCH, more is possible.

- Moves seamlessly between anchor-based systems and personal use, doing the job of multiple pieces of equipment.
- Combines the key features of load management devices and personal descenders: reducing equipment training and cost.
- Instantly transitions between hauling and lowering or ascent and descent without having to transfer the load.
