The Petzl ZigZag Mechanical Prusik Ascender is a game-changer for arborists, offering efficient and precise movement within trees using the classic Prusik pulley system technique. This innovative device is designed to enhance your tree care operations with its intuitive use, versatility, and durability.
Key Features:
- Intuitive Operation: The ZigZag operates with the same technique as a classic Prusik pulley system. The friction chain locks automatically on the rope once extended, ensuring secure and reliable performance.
- Smooth and Precise Movement: The release lever allows for smooth and controlled rope feed, giving you precise control over your movements. Adjusting the pressure on the lever controls your speed, making it easy to navigate through the tree.
- Efficient Slack Management: The pulley, mounted on sealed ball bearings, makes taking up slack effortless. The separated and curved side plates further enhance the device's efficiency.
Versatile Use:
- Dual Rope Compatibility: The ZigZag can be used on both doubled ropes and single ropes, thanks to the CHICANE accessory for added friction on descent and the KNEE ASCENT assemblies for easier ascents.
- Multiple Attachment Points: The upper attachment hole is perfect for the rope end when using a doubled rope or for the CHICANE auxiliary braking device on a single rope. An auxiliary attachment hole allows for the addition of a ZILLON lanyard or a second system.
Built for Durability:
- Robust Construction: Made from high-quality steel, aluminum, and nylon, the ZigZag is built to last. The separated and curved side plates provide better wear resistance, ensuring long-term durability.
- Fixed Lower Attachment Hole: This design ensures the device aligns with the worker's axis, optimizing grip and control.
