PETZL RIG Descender

The PETZL RIG is a compact professional descender for controlled descent, work‑positioning (AUTO‑LOCK) and limited hauling/raising. It is intended for experienced rope access and rescue professionals.

Key benefits

• AUTO‑LOCK system enables work positioning without tying off the brake.
• Ergonomic multi‑function handle with automatic return for descent control and storage position.
• Opening moving side plate with safety gate allows installation of the rope while connected to the harness.
• Two descent modes: rope over the side plate or through the V‑shaped friction channel for different friction levels.
• Repairable design with replaceable cam/pin and reinforced protection on the rope friction zone.

Typical use: industrial rope access, technical rescue and other height‑work situations requiring controlled descent, work positioning and occasional hauling. For trained professionals only.
