This great piece of equipment was invented by a 26-year Veteran Police Officer out of Hawthorne, California; born from the frustrating scenario of facing spiked wrought iron fences while on duty. Your choices? Scale it anyway and risk injury to yourself or uniform, try and find someone with a key (which takes valuable time) or simply walk away.
CLIMB Assist is a tool that is specifically designed for use on wrought iron fences. It will allow you to get in and get out with ease. Unlike a ladder, CLIMB Assist is a TWO-WAY climbing tool. Tactically, a TRUE advantage. Now you can pick your point of entry and climb...
Quickly, Quietly and most important... SAFELY.
CLIMB Assist is also designed with a "leaning feature" which assists you in climbing block walls, wood fences and some chain link fences. Now you can clear or take the yard with your hands free or on your weapon.
CLIMB Assist is made of lightweight aluminum and comes with a sling for easy portability and weighs only 16 lbs. It can support in excess of 500 lbs. per step and over 700 lbs. on its hook. At 55" in length, it is designed to fit easily into the trunks of patrol units. It is rubberized at all key contact points for stealth deployment and has two options where it can be secured to the fence by the use of handcuffs or zip-ties.
Its companion piece, "Spike Cap" is a PVC, U-shaped personal protector that is placed over the spikes most commonly found at the top of wrought iron fencing. The kit comes with a Custom Carrying Case as well.
This all-around great piece of equipment is innovative and necessary. Most who see it ask, "Why didn't I think of that?"
