In detail

The DMM Pivot is a belay and abseil device that can be used with either single, half or twin ropes and can be used to belay in either guide mode or from the waist. It has a unique, patented pivoting “guide mode” connection hole that makes releasing the Pivot when loaded in guide mode a lot easier and with more control than any other belay plate.    

The DMM Pivot takes its name from this pivoting guide mode connection point. This connection point minimises the leverage to release the load and allows the belayer to lower a single second or two seconds, simultaneously or individually, with total control.   

It has been designed for ropes from 7.3mm to 11mm but optimised for 8mm to 10.5mm ropes.  

Hot forging and machining let us put metal precisely where it's needed to create a guide plate that weighs just 72g. These manufacturing techniques also allow internal design that gives confidence inspiring performance across a wide range of ropes. The Pivot belay device has two friction modes when used for normal belaying from the waist – increased friction using the V-grooves at the front of the belay device and less friction when running over the other side.  

The Pivot is also a trusty abseil partner for descending steep terrain.  

The DMM Pivot is anodised to BS EN 7599:2010 AA10.  

It meets the requirements of EN15151-2:2013 and is recommended for ropes with the following diameters  

  • Ropes classified as Single Ropes: 8.7 – 11.0mm
  • Ropes classified as Half Ropes 7.3 - 9.2 
  • Ropes classified as Twin Ropes 7.3 - 9.2
