Perfect Descent Climbing belayer Speed Drive

The Auto-Belayer Speed Drive™ from Perfect Descent Climbing SystemsThe Speed Drive is the original speed auto-belay and the Official Speed Climbing Auto-Belayer of the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC). With the fastest retraction speed on the market at 15 ft/s (4.6 m/s), Perfect Descent outperforms the competition and the fastest climbers in the world. The Speed Drive™ model meets all IFSC requirements and exerts minimal pull on the climber. Not only is it suitable for speed climbing, this model is ideal for keeping up with fitness-focused climbers and training, managing warm-ups and dynamic routes, and for any activity where rapid retraction is necessary to ensure that there is never slack in the line.IMPORTANT: The Speed Drive™ at 53 ft (16.1 m) is the only auto-belay approved for use in world record attempts for speed climbing by the IFSC and in World Cup and World Championship events.A good investment:Perfect Descent is the cost leader in auto-belays and boasts the lowest average cost of ownership over the unit's lifetime. The lightweight and compact design results in lower shipping costs when returning units for factory-authorized service and recertification. A growing network of factory-authorized service centers makes it quick and easy to keep your units maintained and on the wall.Handcrafted, safety, and innovation: The Perfect Descent auto-belays are handcrafted in Colorado, USA, feature a high-quality stainless steel and aluminum housing (no plastic), and are never mass-produced. The internal components are made from high-quality materials that withstand repeated use and require little to no maintenance. All devices undergo rigorous quality checks before shipping and meet global safety standards.Versatile and durable device housing: The Perfect Descent auto-belays are the lightest and most compact modular auto-belays on the market, a key feature for easy transport and mounting. The new multi-point installation handle provides flexible mounting options and independent anchor points. All units are sealed for exceptional performance both indoors and outdoors.Cords to appreciate: Easy to replace, the cords take just a few minutes to change and can be done in the field by the end user. Choose the cord length that best suits your needs: 28 ft, 40 ft, or 53 ft (8.5 m, 12.2 m, or 16.1 m). The high-quality nylon strap is more user-friendly than cable-based systems and will not damage walls. The built-in wear indicator removes the guesswork on when to replace your cord. An anodized aluminum nozzle is integrated into the cord for added durability and performance. Choose between two swivel carabiner options: aluminum for corrosive environments or to reduce weight, and steel alloy for added durability. Or choose the dual connection option with a swivel carabiner, nylon Y-webbing strap, and two captive pin aluminum carabiners with a 3-stage lock.NOTE: The user can replace long cords with shorter cords to accommodate lower mounting heights. Never replace a shorter cord with a longer one, as the unit will not function properly. Longer cords can only be installed by C3 Manufacturing or an authorized service center.IMPORTANT: The Perfect Descent auto-belays are designed to be controlled descent devices used in vertical climbing activities and are not suitable for use in jump-type activities that generate shock loading forces. Repeated shock loads on the device may damage internal components and, in some cases, cause unit failure. The cord must always be equal to or longer than the anticipated mounting height. Units with excessive cord length may experience improper cord winding, leading to abrupt or rapid descents. Always select the cord that best matches the mounting height and avoid using long cords on short walls.SpecificationsWeight: 29 - 31 lbs (13.1 - 14.1 kg)Housing dimensions: 16 x 9.5 x 7.5 in (40 x 24 x 19 cm)Cord retraction speed: 15 ft/s (4.6 m/s)Maximum descent rate: 6.6 ft/s (2 m/s)Minimum descent rate: 1.6 ft/s (0.5 m/s)Housing materials: Stainless steel, aluminum, and acetalNozzle materials: Anodized aluminumCord materials: 1 in (2.5 cm) wide nylon webbingCord break strength: 3,500 lbs (15.6 kN)Cord length: 28, 40, or 53 ft (8.5, 12.2, or 16.1 m)User weight range: 25 - 310 lbs (11.5 - 140 kg)CertificationsANSI/ASSE Z359.4: Safety requirements for assisted rescue and self-rescue systems, subsystems, and componentsComplies with EN341:2011-1A/RFU PPE-R/11.128 Version 1 and EN360:2002. - Requires periodic recertification every 12 months or sooner as indicated by a Competent PersonAS/NZS 1891: Industrial fall protection systems and devices - Part 3: Fall protection devicesCSA Z259.2.3-99: Descent control devices
