Features of Petzl Zigzag Descender

  • Intuitive to use:- technique identical to classic Prusik pulley system- the device locks automatically on the rope once the friction chain extends
  • For efficient movement within the tree:- rope feed is smooth and precise thanks to the release lever, allowing the user great control over his/her movements. Adjusting the pressure on this lever controls the speed of movement- 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 and correct positioning of the mechanical Prusik and optimal rope glide through the device
  • Versatile:- for use on either doubled ropes or a single rope, thanks to the CHICANE accessory, which offers more friction on the descent, and the KNEE ASCENT assemblies, which facilitate the ascent- upper attachment hole for the rope end when using a doubled rope or for the CHICANE auxiliary braking device when using a single rope. It has a flexible positioning ring that helps keep the connector oriented along its major axis- auxiliary attachment hole for adding a ZILLON lanyard or connecting a second system
  • Durability:- steel construction for improved durability- separated and curved side plates for better wear resistance
  • Rope compatibility: 11.5 to 13 mm diameter
  • ZIGZAG PLUS allows the user to work in compliance with the ANSI Z133 standard
