Self-braking compact descender for difficult access, designed for experienced users
The self-braking compact RIG descender for difficult access is designed for experienced users. It has an ergonomic handle that allows comfortable control of the descent. The AUTO-LOCK system allows users to position themselves at the work position without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device. Once locked, the rope can be paid out without having to manipulate the handle. The safety gate allows the device to remain connected to the harness during rope installation.
Detailed description
- Designed for experienced users in difficult access conditions.
-
Easy to use:
- The movable side plate is equipped with a safety gate, allowing the device to easily remain connected to the harness during rope installation, making it easier to pass intermediate anchors.
- The guide groove and markings simplify rope installation.
- The ergonomic handle allows the rope to be released and the descent to be comfortably controlled. Two descent modes: on the side plate or in the V-shaped braking groove.
- The AUTO-LOCK system allows the user to position themselves at the work position without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device: as soon as the handle is released, the rope is automatically blocked in the device. The automatic return of the handle reduces the risk of snagging.
- When the rope is removed from the device, the handle automatically returns to the "park position" to reduce the risk of the descender snagging when carried on the harness. -
Versatile use:
- Once locked, the rope can be paid out without having to manipulate the handle, which allows for short ascents on the rope, for example.
- Activating the cam allows the rope to be paid out or for lead belaying. - Stainless steel reinforcement, which protects the device from rope friction and increases wear resistance.
- Lowering of heavy loads up to 200 kg.
- Rope compatibility: 10 to 11.5 mm diameter.
- Available in two colors: yellow and black.
