Petzl RIG Compact Descender / Belay Device – Black

• Designed for experienced rope access workers
• Easy to use:
  • Safety gate on the moving side plate allows the rope to be easily installed while the device remains connected to the harness, making it easier to pass intermediate anchors
  • Markings and rope guide makes it easy to install the rope
  • Ergonomic handle allows the rope to be released and enables comfortable control of the descent; there are 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 a workstation without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device: as soon as the user releases the handle, the rope is automatically locked in the device; the automatic return system on the handle limits the risk of the device getting accidentally snagged
  • 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
• Versatile:
  • Once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle, allowing for easy short ascents, for example
  • Cam can be manipulated to feed out slack easily or belay a lead climber using climbing techniques
• The stainless steel wear plate improves durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone
