PETZL ZIGZAG - MECHANICAL PRUSIK

The ZIGZAG mechanical Prusik enables efficient movement in the tree while preserving the specific motion of the classic Prusik pulley system. The locking chain ensures precision and smoothness during movement. The pulley, mounted on a sealed ball bearing, allows easy retrieval of excess rope. Its use on double and single ropes provides excellent versatility. The fixed lower attachment hole ensures device alignment on the worker's axis and optimizes grip.

Detailed description

Description

Intuitive grip:

• movement identical to the classic Prusik pulley system for immediate handling,

• automatic locking of the device on the rope when the locking chain opens.

For effective movement on the tree:

• smooth and precise rope retrieval thanks to the unlocking lever that provides great precision in movement. Pressure adjustment on this lever allows modulation of movement speed,

• easy rope retrieval thanks to the pulley mounted on a sealed ball bearing and widened, curved flanges,

• fixed lower attachment hole to ensure device alignment on the worker's axis and optimize grip.

Versatility of use:

• usable on double and single ropes, thanks to the CHICANE accessory which provides greater braking action and the KNEE ASCENT foot loops that facilitate ascents,

• upper attachment hole for rope return when used on double rope or for the additional CHICANE brake when used on single rope. The CAPTIV positioning bar promotes connector positioning on the major axis,

• secondary attachment hole to add a ZILLON cord or connect a second system.

Durability:

• steel structure for greater longevity,

• widened and curved flanges for better wear resistance.

Rope compatibility: from 11.5 to 13 mm diameter.

ZIGZAG allows work in compliance with ANSI Z133 standard.
