Descenders: Rack Kits

The BMS MICRO-RACK was originally designed for the caving community and has become the device of choice for both expedition and recreational cavers in the US. These closed frame racks offer increased strength and at the same time are almost one half the size of conventional open frame racks. The bars are fabricated from extra-heavy wall stainless steel tubing which yields unequaled resistance to abrasion. Under normal conditions they should supply a lifetime of use. Supplied with an extended top bar with pin (hyper-bar) the BMS Micro-Rack not only increases options for control of descent but also facilitates simple lock offs. The transition from locked off to descent or lower is smooth and easy.

They are available in two frame lengths to accomodate a wide range of rope sizes and loads. They are also available with a second inverted hyper-bar below the top hyper-bar. This modification allows the user to take an additional wrap around the hyper-bars to further increase the load handling abilities of these devices. This modification has been widely accepted in the Fire and Search & Rescue communities as providing a compact and safe alternative to traditional 6 bar open frame racks.

$50.40
The BMS Nano/Pico-Racks were designed for personal lowering and escape systems employing 7.9 to 10mm personal escape lines. Once properly rigged to the line, the Nano/Pico-Rack cannot become detached from the line. This eliminates the possibility of accidental derigging. The movable bars make line feeding easy, an advantage when establishing an anchor at a distance from the exit point.
They also act as a self compensating mechanism which equalizes brake force with body weight, the greater the load the more friction generated by the rack.

    products/UH-BMDS009.jpg UH-BMDS009: BMS Rescue-Rack, 6 bar
    $108.70
    BMS Rescue-Racks are designed for the professional rope rescue user. Constructed entirely of high strength stainless steel these racks standup to the harshest of conditions. The closed frame yields a device many times stronger than it's open frame counterparts and the extra heavy tubular stainless steel bars stand up to severe abrasion. These characteristics yield a descent control device with a service life many times longer than their competitors.

    Offered in two frame lengths with either four or six bars, both of which easily accommodate two 1/2" ropes. Top bars are of the double hyper-bar design which provides added load control options and simple and secure lock offs for either 1 or 2 ropes allowing independent control over both ropes. A slight variation on the 4 bar Rescue-Rack uses a second double hyper-bar in place of the third bar. This allows the operator to add extra wraps around the hyper-bars to increase friction to maintain control under demanding rescue conditions. All models are easily locked off by passing a bight of rope through the frame and looping it over the hyper-bar
