Petzl Rig

The PETZL RIG is a compact self-braking descender designed for experienced rope access workers. It has an ergonomic handle that allows comfortable descent control. The AUTO-LOCK system allows users to easily position themselves at the work station without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device. Once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle. The safety gate allows the rope to be installed with the device remaining connected to the harness, facilitating the passage of intermediate anchors. The stainless steel wear plate improves durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone.

Features

• Designed for experienced rope access workers
  
• Easy to use:
  - Safety gate on the moving side plate allows the rope to be easily installed while the device remains connected to the harness, making it easier to pass intermediate anchors
  - Markings and rope guide makes it easy to install the rope
  - Ergonomic handle allows the rope to be released and enables comfortable control of the descent; there are two possible descent modes: on the side plate or in the V-shaped friction channel
