Petzl Rig Compact Self-braking Descender

Petzl Rig Compact Self-braking Descender

• Designed for rope access work (expert users only)
• Multi-function handle allows the user to:
  – unlock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the free end of the rope
  – position himself at the work station without having to tie 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.
