Quick Overview

The EVAC Systems Rigger's Back Loader is a purpose-built technical rescue hardware organization pack that converts from a transport backpack into a fully open gear station, enabling lead riggers to deploy, access, and account for all rigging components without search time at the operational site.

The Rigger's Back Loader is constructed from 1,000 Denier Cordura Nylon and features a full clamshell zipper design that opens the pack completely flat. This deployment configuration gives the operator an unobstructed visual inventory of every hardware component simultaneously. The internal array consists of a matrix of gear loops and pockets engineered to stow individual pieces, preventing clanking, tangling, and shifting during transport. The pack is Berry Compliant and manufactured in the USA, meeting federal procurement standards for government and agency acquisition.

The pack's primary design principle is that organization is a direct component of field safety. When gear location is automatic and predictable, the operator's cognitive bandwidth is preserved for critical decision-making under pressure. Consistent pre-mission configuration builds muscle memory so that in darkness, adverse weather, or high-stress conditions, the rigger's hands locate the correct tool without visual confirmation. Returning each item immediately after use maintains a complete gear inventory throughout the mission, eliminating the risk of equipment being left at the scene.

The Rigger's Back Loader is a hardware-centric system and is designed to be paired with a separate dedicated rope bag for a complete technical rescue loadout. It is not intended for rope storage. All rigging hardware shown in product demonstrations is for illustrative purposes and is not included with the pack.

Field Application Steps

1. PRE-MISSION CONFIGURATION: Assign specific hardware to designated gear loops and pockets within the internal array before departing for the operational site. Build consistent placement habits across training and deployment cycles to develop reliable muscle memory for each component's location.

2. HARDWARE ACCOUNTABILITY CHECK: Conduct a visual inventory of all assigned rigging components, including carabiners, pulleys, descent devices, and rigging plates, confirming each item is secured in its designated position. Verify that nothing is loose, tangled, or improperly stowed before closing the clamshell.

3. TRANSPORT TO ANCHOR POINT: Close and secure the main compartment fully and carry the loaded pack to the anchor point or operational site using the integrated backpack straps. Do not open the pack during transit.

4. DEPLOYMENT TO GEAR STATION CONFIGURATION: Place the pack on a stable, flat surface at the operational site. Unzip the main compartment completely using the full clamshell zipper until the pack lies open and flat, exposing the entire internal array.

5. TOOL SELECTION DURING OPERATION: Select tools directly from their designated positions within the open gear station. Do not remove multiple items simultaneously or set hardware on the ground outside the pack.

6. IMMEDIATE RETURN PROTOCOL: Return each item to its designated loop or pocket immediately after use, before selecting the next tool. This discipline maintains a complete and accurate visual inventory throughout the operation and ensures nothing is left at the scene during demobilization.
