After extensive testing, CMI has developed the new, pint-sized 8:1 haul system. Now hauling becomes much easier in this pre-rigged system utilizing 8 sheaves that turn on sealed ball bearings. The lower quad sheave pulley is mated to the upper, quad sheaved, remotely triggered retractable brake. The cam can be locked in the open position to allow freedom of movement up and down or it can be closed so that the user can pull the load and simply let go of the rope, thus stopping the load in the current position. The rope is the brand new NER VPC hybrid performance braid rope which has a strong lightweight core of Vectran and polyolefin surrounded by a durable UV-resistant polyester cover. VPC rope has a low elongation and provides excellent hand/grip.
