S.Tec Duck-R Rope Backup Device

The S-Tec Duck R is designed by rope access technicians for rope access technicians. It is answering the call of the competent rope access tech for a device they know how to use, complies to the relevant standards and above all, works. Made of stainless steel, the device can be used on a cow's tail. The cam face and geometry has been designed so the device slips at higher loads (though still well below the EN standard 6 kN limit), meaning less slippage in a fall, reduced clearance distances and making it much more suitable for two-person rescue loads. The Duck R comes factory fitted with a sewn cord for towing (short distances). At 4 mm thick and 40 mm long this has been designed to be just big enough to get a decent grip for towing whilst maximising the chance of release in an emergency.
