PETZL MAESTRO L

The MAESTRO L is a descender designed for technical rescue operations. It facilitates the handling of heavy loads, both lowering and lifting, and can be used as a main system and for self-belaying. This versatility allows rescuers to adapt to all configurations encountered at the intervention site. The ergonomic handle and integrated brake enable comfortable control of the descent. Switching from lowering to lifting position is immediate, without needing to recover the load. The integrated locking pulley, with a large-diameter pulley on sealed ball bearings, ensures excellent lifting efficiency. The AUTO-LOCK system automatically locks the rope when the handle is not in use. Once locked, the rope can be recovered without using the handle. The MAESTRO L descender is compatible with ropes from 12.5 to 13 mm and allows handling loads up to 280 kg.

Highly versatile for technical rescue:

• Locking system with integrated locking pulley allowing use of the same device for lowering and lifting,

• Can be used as a single or double main system and for self-belaying (more information on this technique in the information note and technical advice at www.petzl.com).

• Lower attachment point for various types of hauling.

• Hole in the handle for installing a remote control cord.

Ease and speed of use:

• Easy rope installation thanks to markings on the device,

• Ergonomic handle allowing progressive rope release and comfortable descent control,

• Immediate switch from lowering to lifting position without recovering the load,

• AUTO-LOCK system automatically locks the rope when the handle is not used. Once locked, the rope can be recovered without using the handle.

Efficiency in handling heavy loads:

• Integrated locking pulley with large-diameter pulley on sealed ball bearings, featuring a unique rotation direction for excellent lifting efficiency,

• Faceted pulley to increase friction zones with the rope for additional braking during descent,

• Integrated brake on the device to modulate friction based on load and rope diameter,

• Handles heavy loads up to 280 kg.
