PETZL ZIGZAG

Mechanical prusik for tree work

The ZIGZAG mechanical Prusik allows you to move effectively on the tree, while preserving the specific movement of the classic Prusik pulley system. The locking chain guarantees precision and fluidity in movement. The pulley, mounted on a sealed ball bearing, allows you to easily recover excess rope. The use on double rope and single rope guarantees excellent versatility. The bottom connection hole is fixed to ensure alignment of the device on the worker’s axis and optimize grip.

Description
Intuitive grip:
– movement identical to that of the classic Prusik pulley system for immediate grip,
– automatic locking of the device on the rope, when the locking chain opens.
For effective movements on the tree:
– smooth and precise rope retrieval, thanks to the release lever that guarantees great precision in movements. The pressure adjustment on this lever allows you to modulate the speed of movement,
– ease of retrieving the rope, thanks to the pulley mounted on a sealed ball bearing and the widened and curved flanges,
– fixed lower connection hole to ensure alignment of the device on the worker’s axis and optimize grip.
Versatility of use:
– it can be used on double ropes and also on single ropes, thanks to the CHICANE accessory that guarantees greater braking action and the KNEE ASCENT pedals that facilitate ascents,
– upper connection hole for the return of the rope when used on a double rope or the additional CHICANE brake when used on a single rope. The CAPTIV positioning bar facilitates the positioning of the connector on the major axis,
– secondary connection hole to add a ZILLON lanyard or connect a second system.
Strength:
– steel structure for greater durability,
– enlarged and curved flanges for better wear resistance.
Rope compatibility: from 11.5 to 13 mm in diameter.
ZIGZAG allows you to work in compliance with the ANSI Z133 standard.
