• Version with high - eff iciency swivel
• Standard version
The lower attachment hole with high - efficiency
swivel provides stable and correct positioning
of the mechanical Prusik and optimal rope glide
through the device .
The lower attachment hole is fixed to maintain
alignment of the device with the axis of the
worker and to optimize grip .
Descenders
Mechanical Prusiks for Tree Care
• Versatile
• For eff icient movement
• Intuitive design
Use on a single rope
They can also be used on a single rope ,
thanks to the CHICANE accessory ,
which offers more friction on the
descent , and the KNEE ASCENT
assemblies , which facilitate the ascent .
Slack easily taken up
The pulley is mounted on sealed ball
bearings to allow the slack to be
taken up easily when moving around .
The widely spaced side plates also
contribute to smooth rope glide .
Use on doubled ropes
ZIGZAG and ZIGZAG PLUS
can be used on doubled ropes .
Smooth , precise rope feed
The release lever is mounted on a spring
for great precision when moving around .
Adjusting the pressure on this lever
controls the speed of movement .
The technique is identical to that of a
classic Prusik pulley system , offering
immediate usability . The device locks
automatically once the friction chain
is extended .
Mechanical Prusiks allow arborists to optimize their movement within a tree .
They are user - friendly and intuitive to use . To meet a variety of needs ,
they can be used on doubled ropes or a single rope .
