CMC SQUID RIGGING PLATE

CMC SQUID: The Multi-Planar Solution for Twin Tension Systems

Offered by TLS Emergency Equipment in Colorado, the SQUID is a revolutionary rigging plate designed specifically for Twin Tension Rope Systems (TTRS) and load-sharing applications. Its unique 3D, multi-planar design solves the long-standing problem of hardware alignment, bringing two devices side-by-side for optimal dual-handle operation.

The SQUID is the heart of the "Double Clutch" technique, allowing a single operator to maintain simultaneous tension on two lines (shark-finning). This increases safety by ensuring that if one line fails, the load is already supported by a second, tensioned rope, significantly limiting shock force and system extension.

Performance Features

• Multi-Planar Alignment: Features perpendicular attachment points that orient hardware for easy loading/unloading and prevent binding during transitions between hauling…
