Product description

Compact self-braking descender for rope access, designed for experienced users

RIG is a compact self-braking descender for rope access, designed for experienced users. It has an ergonomic handle that allows comfortable descent control. The AUTO-LOCK system allows users to easily position themselves at a workstation without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device. Once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle. The safety gate allows the rope to be installed while the device remains connected to the harness.

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
Lowering load: Up to 150 kg for one person, and up to 200 kg when used for rescue
Rope compatibility: 10 to 11.5 mm diameter
