PETZL RIG Descender

Description

Enhanced Ease and Speed of Use:

• Effortless Rope Installation: The integrated rope guide and clear markings simplify setup.
• Ergonomic Control: The handle enables smooth rope release and precise descent control.
• Versatile Descent Modes: Choose between the side plate or the V-shaped friction channel for optimal performance.
• AUTO-LOCK System: Instantly locks the rope when the handle is released, eliminating the need for manual locking or tie-offs. The automatic return system reduces accidental snagging.
• Seamless Short Ascents: Once locked, the rope can be taken up without handle adjustments—ideal for short ascents with a FOOTAPE foot loop and ASCENSION handled rope clamp.
• Efficient Slack Management: The cam mechanism allows for easy slack take-up.
• Convenient Rope Installation: A safety gate on the moving side plate enables rope installation while keeping the device connected to the harness, ensuring smooth transitions at intermediate anchors.
• Compact & Safe Storage: The handle automatically switches to a storage position when the rope is removed, minimizing the risk of accidental snags when carried on a harness.
• Enhanced Durability: A stainless steel wear plate reinforces the rope friction zone, extending the device’s lifespan.
• Heavy Load Handling: Supports lowering loads up to 200 kg. (Refer to the product’s Instructions for Use and technical advice at www.petzl.com for detailed guidance.)
