Compact self-braking descender for rope access, designed for experienced users

SKU: N/A Category: Descenders

RIG is Pezli’s new compact self-braking descent and belay device for experienced workers at heights.

Easy rope installation, thanks to the rope guide and markings.
Safety gate on the moving side plate allows the rope to be installed easily while the device remains connected to the harness, facilitating the passage of intermediate anchors.
Ergonomic handle allows the rope to be released and enables convenient descent control.
Two possible descent modes: on the side plate or in the V-shaped friction channel.
AUTO-LOCK system allows users to easily position themselves at the work station without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device.
The automatic return system on the handle limits the risk of the device getting accidentally snagged.
As soon as the user releases the handle, the rope is automatically locked in the device.
The locked device can be easily moved up by rope without turning the handle, allowing for short, easy ascents using, for example, a Footape or Footcord foot loop and an Ascension grip with a handle.
Handle automatically switches to storage position when the rope is removed from the device, reducing the risk of accidental snagging when the descender is carried on the harness.
The stainless steel wear plate improves durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone.
Descending a heavy load up to 200 kg.
Weight 400 g.
Available in two colors: yellow and black.
