It has performed dozens of roadside rescues using vehicles as anchors or changes of direction. It can be attached to wheels, tied through frame holes, and even seen folks girth hitch tow balls! It was always time consuming and stressful guessing the safety of our attachment. The Conterra Hitch-Plate answers the question of exactly where and how to anchor to your rig when performing a vehicle based rope rescue.
The Hitch-Plate is beautifully made and wicked strong. It is CNC machined entirely from billet aluminum in Conterra’s ISO 9001 certified fab shop. It sports five large rigging holes and will fit in any 2″ vehicle receiver. (Please check and make sure that your receiver is 2.00 inches) It has an ingenious system that keeps the pin and cotter attached to the device so that they can’t be lost. It comes with it’s own padded Ballistics nylon case with grab handle and hang loop.
Meets NFPA Standard 1983 (2017 ed.) and is UL certified. Rated for General Use (G) MBS 50 kN.
(For rope rescue only. Not for vehicle recovery or towing.)
All Rescue Canada courses and programs meet and often exceed all applicable industry standards including IRIA, NFPA, WORKSAFE, & TRANSPORT CANADA
