Petzl ZIGZAG mechanical prussian (11.5 - 13 mm)

Detailed product description

The ZIGZAG mechanical prusik allows workers to move efficiently on the tree using the classic prusik pulley technique. The friction chain ensures precision and smoothness of movement. The pulley is mounted on encapsulated ball bearings to allow for easy reloading of the rope. Can be used on a double rope or single rope suspension, providing great versatility. The lower connection hole is fixed to ensure alignment of the device with the worker's axis and to optimise grip.

Intuitive to use:

• Technique identical to the classic prusik hoist
• The device automatically locks on the rope when the friction chain unwinds

Efficient movement in the treetop:

• Rope feeding is smooth and precise thanks to the release lever, allowing the user great control over his movements
• Adjusting the pressure on this lever controls the speed of movement
• Easy to release thanks to the pulley mounted on encapsulated ball bearings and separate and shaped sidewalls
• The lower connection hole is fixed to ensure alignment with the worker's axis and to optimise grip

Versatility:

• For use on a suspended double rope or on a single rope thanks to the CHICANE accessory, which increases friction during descent, and the KNEE ASCENT set, which facilitates ascent
• Top connection hole for the end of the rope when using a double rope or for the additional CHICANE brake when using a single rope. Has a flexible positioning ring to help keep the connector in the correct position
• Auxiliary connection hole for adding a ZILLON connector or connecting a second system

Resilience:

• Steel construction for better durability
• Separated and shaped sidewalls for better wear resistance
• Compatibility with ropes: diameter 11,5 to 13 mm
• ZIGZAG allows the user to operate in accordance with the ANSI Z133 standard
