RIG®
Compact self-braking descender
RIG is a self-braking descender with a handle that allows convenient descent control. The AUTO-LOCK system allows users to quickly position themselves 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. Easy to grasp, the descender is a simple, efficient alternative to traditional descenders.
Detailed description
Description
- Quick and easy to use:
- Markings and rope guide make it easy to install the rope
- Ergonomic handle allows the rope to be released and enables comfortable control of the descent
- Two possible descent modes: on the side plate or in the V-shaped friction channel
- AUTO-LOCK system allows users to quickly position themselves 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
- Once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle, allowing for easy short ascents, for example (by adding a FOOTAPE foot loop and an ASCENSION handled rope clamp)
- Cam can be manipulated to take up slack easily
- Safety gate on the moving side plate allows the rope to be installed while the device remains connected to the harness, making it easier to pass intermediate anchors
- 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
- 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
