Rescue Source Crossline Reach – Swiftwater Line Capture Tool
The Rescue Source Crossline Reach is a specialized line capture tool designed for swiftwater and technical rescue operations. Engineered to securely capture ropes, lines, and cables from a distance, the Crossline Reach supports a wide range of rescue applications, including self-rescue, assisting with pins and entrapments, establishing cross-river lines, and retrieving boats or loose equipment.
The device features a mechanical capture system with clips that function similarly to carabiners, maintaining connection to a rope or line once engaged. This design allows rescuers to establish connections to difficult-to-reach lines during individual or team-based rescue operations.
Manufactured with a body constructed from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum and springs and clips made from 304-type stainless steel, the Crossline Reach combines corrosion-resistant materials with a lightweight design. The device weighs just 6.4 ounces and supports up to 2,000 pounds of pull strength.
Its compact configuration and versatile line capture capabilities make it a practical addition to professional swiftwater rescue equipment.
