CLIMB Assist enables emergency personnel to scale wrought iron fences with spikes. The 16-pound CLIMB Assist is made of lightweight aluminum and can support an excess of 500 pounds per step and more than 700 pounds on its hook. At 55 inches in length, it is designed to fit easily into the trunks of patrol units. All contact points are rubberized for quiet deployment and handcuffs can be used to secure it to the fence if left unattended. CLIMB Assist can also be used to climb solid walls. Unlike a ladder, CLIMB Assist is a two-way climbing tool. Tactically, a true advantage: users can pick a point of entry and climb quickly, quietly and most importantly, safely. CLIMB Assist is also designed with a leaning feature, which assists users in climbing block walls, wood fences and some chain link fences. Now an officer can clear or take the yard with hands free or on a weapon.
