SMC Rappel Rack Assembly
J Frame (or Open Racks) differ from U racks because they allow the user to adjust friction, while under load, by adding or removing bars. This unique feature results in greater control of the rate of descent. SMC J racks formed out of stainless-steel bar stock, and masterfully welded for exceptional strength and durability.
These racks are longer and equipped with 6 bars which allow for a broad variation in the amount of friction created. The top bar, which receives the most wear, is larger and constructed from stainless steel and is equipped with a Tie-Off Bar to facilitate tie offs or quickly add extra friction. The remaining 5 bars are machined aluminum.
Features and Benefits:
- Adjust friction by adding or removing bars while under load
