Petzl Rig

 

Compact Self-Braking Descender

Descenders are designed to regulate friction and control an individual's descent on a fixed rope, and the Petzl Rig is the ideal descender for work at height and rescue because it allows the user to take advantage of the force of gravity.  Designed specifically for rope access work, the Petzl Rig also allows a worker to position themself at any point on the rope.

The Petzl Rig is a compact self-braking descender

Further features of the Petzl Rig include:-

  • a multi function handle that allows the worker to unblock the rope and control their descent with the hand on the free end of the rope or position themselves whilst on the rope without tying off the device
  • an automatic return system that limits the risks in case of an involuntary action by the user
  • a handle storage position which reduces the risk of snagging when the descender is being carried on the harness
  • the safety gate design on the moving side plate helps prevent dropping the device and facilitates installation of the rope and passing intermediate anchors.
  • a pivoting cam which facilitates taking up the slack in the rope.  The Petzl Rig can also be used to make a reversible haul system, and for short ascents (in conjunction with a Petzl Footpro and a Petzl Ascension).
