Descenders

RIG
NEW Compact self-braking descender
2018 RIG is a compact self-braking descender designed for experienced rope access workers. It has
an ergonomic handle that allows comfortable descent control. The AUTO-LOCK system allows
users to easily position themselves at a work station 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 with the device remaining connected to
the harness, facilitating passage of intermediate anchors. The stainless steel wear plate improves
durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone.

Rope installation is quick and easy ,
thanks to the rope guide and markings.

The ergonomic handle allows the rope to
be released for a comfortably controlled
descent.

The AUTO-LOCK system allows users
to easily position themselves at a work
station 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 cam can be manipulated for easily
taking up rope or for belaying a lead
using climbing techniques.
