Turbo Chest

The Turbo Chest is a revolutionary chest ascender with rollers for smoother climbing and reduced wear. It can also be used as a lockable pulley for lighter hauling.

A revolutionary chest ascender that has two proprietary rollers for smooth contact with the rope. This not only helps make climbing more efficient by making the upward slide much smoother. It also reduces dangerous wear on the device where the rope tends to rub against the body on a traditional ascending device. The perfectly profiled closure keeps the rope aligned with the body of the device and the rollers to prevent the rope from coming loose from the device during tight swings and traverses. Self-cleaning holes on both the body and the cam help prevent grit and dirt from building up. Thicker body plates and a shaped attachment point reduce wear on the device caused by displacement between the device and the connector (especially when used with steel connectors). This also keeps the device more aligned with the body during use. The opening mechanism is simple and secure with the option to lock the device open for easier attachment and a removable pull cord that makes it easier to use with gloves. The proprietary rollers also allow the Turbochest to be rigged as a lockable pulley for light hauling with a maximum load of 50 kg, 110 lbs. NOTE: This configuration is not intended for transporting or securing bodies.
