{"product_id":"conterra-scarab-rescue-tool","title":"Conterra Scarab Rescue Tool","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis device will absolutely change the way you perform rope rescue. The Scarab® represents five years of research and testing by Rick Lipke and the design team at Conterra. It was born out of the need for a small, simple device that could easily control heavy rescue loads, as well as excel at pick offs, twin rope systems and other general rescue techniques. The Scarab® does all this and more. With two models available, the Scarab® is the perfect choice for both Fire\/Rescue and back country rescue environments:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncredibly strong?• Does not twist the rope?• Instantly adjustable friction (just wrap a horn)?• Lower 600 lb loads with two fingers?• Super easy lock off?• Easy to use, right or left handed?• Single and double rope capable?• Attach rope without unclipping from anchor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Scarab® TI Ultra light alpine rescue tool: Machined from solid Titanium plate. Works with 6mm to 11 mm rope. Weight: 185g (6.6 oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Scarab® FR Ultra versatile general rescue tool. Machined from solid 303 stainless plate. Works with 9mm to 13 mm rope. Weight: 385g (13.8 oz) meets NFPA 1983 (17 ED) “G” (general use) for 12.5mm rope -The Scarab® is light and strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Scarab has endured over five years of drop and slow pull testing as well as undergoing extensive heat and wear studies utilizing Conterra’s Capstan Test Bed. -The frame and crossbar’s strength is greater than 40kN. In real world tests with Nylon rescue ropes, the ropes fail at the nose of the Scarab® at about their knotted strength (just like most other descent control devices). When pulling a 12.7mm rescue rope on a tied off Scarab®, the rope breaks at about 27kN, which easily exceeds the 22kN strength rating that NFPA calls out for to rate class “G” for descent control devices. In addition to a battery of slow pull and drop tests, the Scarab® has undergone extensive heat and wear studies. One device was tested by pulling over a mile of dirty rope through it under rescue sized tension, with temperature reading thermocouples being monitored at several locations during pulls. At 2kN of tension, and a lowering speed of 10M per minute, the Scarab® maintained a frame temperature at about 100 degrees C. To our knowledge, the Scarab® is the only descent control device to have been tested to this degree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScarab FR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Material: Stainless Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Dimensions (rounded in inches): 5¾ long x 2? wide. ½ thick frame, 1-¼ diameter crossbar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Weight: 385g (13.8 oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS): 27kN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Rope size compatibility: 9mm to 13 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Certifications: NFPA 1983 (17 ED) G (general use) for 12.5mm rope\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScarab Ti\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Material: Titanium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Dimensions (rounded in inches): 5¼ long x 2? wide. ½ thick frame, 1-¼ diameter crossbar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Weight: 185g (6.6 oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS): 20kN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Rope size compatibility: 6mm to 11 mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Conterra","offers":[{"title":"Stainless Steel","offer_id":45402589855788,"sku":null,"price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Titanium","offer_id":45402589888556,"sku":null,"price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8927\/9532\/files\/scarab.jpg?v=1774279159","url":"https:\/\/locoporlaaventura.com\/products\/conterra-scarab-rescue-tool","provider":"Loco por la Aventura","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
