CMC SQUID Rig Plate

CMC

SQUID is a simple and effective solution for building G-Rated twin tension rope systems (TTRS). Its multi-planar design features a large attachment point for redundant anchoring and two perpendicular points for optimal load-sharing. SQUID efficiently aligns two hardware devices side-by-side for dual operation and better shared tension. SQUID also sets ideal spacing between devices, allowing a single operator to maintain simultaneous twin tension control using dual-handle technique (aka “shark finning” or “DOUBLE CLUTCHING”). SQUID promotes safe and efficient rigging of dual capacity TTRS and provides the key element for smooth raising and lowering in mirrored and nested systems.

SQUID streamlines the rigging of redundant load-sharing systems. Its attachment points are compatible with a wide range of connection methods and it positions rope hardware for easy loading and unloading while connected. SQUID naturally orients toward the load and lets components move freely, reducing the risk of binding and mitigating extension in the event of anchor or line failure. Strong and compact, SQUID is a versatile tool for rigging TTRS, litter bridals, cross hauls, and more.

SQUID is CE marked, classified to NFPA General Use for specific configurations including TTRS, and classified to NFPA Technical Use when the secondary points are pulled apart from each other. Please note, the breaking strength of textiles may be reduced when directly connected to the SQUID. Follow best practices for load sharing and redundancy.
