Petzl Rig Descender


Compact self-braking rope descender

The RIG self-braking descender allows the user to easily position himself at the work station by using the handle to lock the device in place on the rope. Easy to grasp, this descender is intuitive and convenient to use. With its innovative and compact design, the RIG offers a simple, efficient alternative to traditional descenders.

  • Designed for experienced rope access workers
  • Multi-function handle allows the user to:
  1.  unlock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the free end of the rope
  2. 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
  • The gate on the moving side plate helps prevent dropping the device and facilitates rope installation when passing intermediate anchors
  • The stainless steel wear plate improves durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone *NEW for 2018*
