The Squid also sets ideal spacing between devices, allowing a single operator to maintain simultaneous twin tension control using dual-handle technique (aka “shark finning” or “double clutching”). It promotes safe and efficient rigging of dual capacity TTRS and provides smooth raising and lowering in mirrored and nested systems.
The squid streamlines the rigging of redundant load-sharing systems and its attachment points are compatible with a wide range of connection methods and they position rope hardware for easy loading and unloading while connected. The Squid naturally orients toward the load and lets components move freely, reducing the risk of binding and shifting in the event of anchor or line failure. Strong and compact, it is a versatile tool for TTRS, litter bridals, cross hauls, and more.
