RIG

Compact self-braking descender

• Designed for rope access work (expert users only)
• Multi-functional handle allows the user to:
  - unblock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the free end of the rope
  - position himself while on the rope without tying off the device
• The automatic return system on the handle limits risks in case of an involuntary action by the user
• Handle storage position reduces the risk of snagging when the descender is being carried on the harness
• The safety gate on the moving side plate helps prevent dropping the device and facilitates installation of the rope and passing intermediate anchors
• Pivoting cam facilitates taking up the slack in the rope. Can also be used to make a reversible haul system, and for short ascents (in conjunction with a FOOTPRO foot loop and an ASCENSION handled rope clamp).
• For single ropes between 10.5 and 11.5 mm in diameter
