Petzl Zigzag Plus

The Petzl Zigzag Plus is a revolutionary mechanical prusik designed to make tree surgery and branch walking easier and more efficient. Its classic prusik pulley system creates smooth transitions from friction cord systems, while the mounted ball bearings allow you to take up slack easily. With the Petzl Zigzag Plus, tasks like ascending and descending trees and performing a balancing act while branch walking become effortless.

OPTIONS

• SRT – The Zigzag Plus can be used for SRT when coupled with the Petzl Chicane auxiliary braking device.

Features

• Intuitive to use – technique identical to a classic Prusik pulley system
• The device locks automatically on the rope once the friction chain extends
• Rope feed is smooth and precise thanks to the release lever, allowing great control over movement; adjusting pressure on the lever controls speed
• Easy to take up slack, thanks to the pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings and the separated and curved side plates
• Lower attachment hole with high-efficiency swivel ensures stable positioning and optimal rope glide through the device

Versatile

• For use on either doubled ropes or a single rope, with the CHICANE accessory offering more friction on descent and KNEE ASCENT assemblies facilitating ascent
• Upper attachment hole for the rope end (doubled rope) or CHICANE auxiliary braking device (single rope), with a flexible positioning ring to keep the connector oriented along its major axis
• Auxiliary attachment hole for adding a ZILLON lanyard or connecting a second system
