CMI Bearpaw Rigging Plate

Stainless steel offers superior durability and resistance to wear, making it an excellent choice for high-use environments or situations where the plate might be dragged against abrasive surfaces. While heavier than aluminum, its robust construction provides exceptional longevity in demanding rescue or industrial settings.

The five-hole configuration allows you to organize multiple connection points cleanly, reducing clutter and preventing rope or hardware overlap. The large anchor hole is specifically designed to accept multiple carabiners, while the five smaller holes provide dedicated attachment points for individual lines or devices.

Yes, the Bearpaw is specifically designed to facilitate center loading, which is critical for maintaining balance and stability during stretcher operations. Its geometry helps ensure that the load remains centered, preventing unwanted shifting during technical rescues.

The rigging holes have a diameter of 0.9 inches, which accommodates most standard climbing and rescue carabiners. However, if you are using oversized connectors or specialized hardware, you should verify that the gate clearance and spine width will pass through comfortably.

The CMI Bearpaw Rigging Plate has a breaking strength of 14,000 pounds (62.28 kN). This high strength rating ensures it meets the rigorous safety standards required for professional rope access and rescue applications.
