I’D® L
Descender with anti-panic function for working on fixed ropes and for rescue
The I’D L descender is designed to meet the needs of experienced rope access technicians and rescuers. Featuring an ergonomic handle that provides comfortable descent control, this easy-to-use descender makes your workday easier. The anti-panic function automatically stops the descent if you pull too hard on the handle. The anti-error catch helps reduce the risk of an accident due to incorrect installation of the device on the rope. The AUTO-LOCK function allows users to easily position themselves at a workstation without manual operation. I’D L is compatible with 12.5 to 13 mm ropes.
Detailed description
Description
- Designed for rescue
- Easy to use:
- Safety gate on the moving side plate allows the rope to be installed easily while the device remains connected to the harness
