Petzl Self-Braking Descenders

I'D S DESCENDERS (small)

Self-braking descender with anti-panic function, with multi-function handle that allows descent control, easier movement on inclined or horizontal terrain and positioning at the work station without the need to tie off the device. The anti-panic function only activates if the user pulls too hard on the handle. The I'D S descender has an anti-error catch to reduce the chance of an accident, and a gate that helps prevent dropping the device and facilitates rope installation when passing intermediate anchors.

• Multi-function handle allows the user to:
  • unlock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the free end of the rope
  • move more easily on horizontal or inclined terrain, thanks to the button on the handle
  • position himself at the work station without having to tie off the device
• Anti-panic function activates if the user pulls too hard on the handle: it brakes and stops the descent automatically
• Anti-error catch to reduce the risk of an accident due to incorrect installation of the device on the rope The shape of the cam is designed to improve rope glide when ascending
• The gate on the moving side plate helps prevent dropping the device and facilitates rope installation when passing intermediate anchors
• Pivoting cam facilitates taking up the slack in the rope. Can also be used to make a progress-capture haul system, and for short rope ascents (by adding a FOOTAPE or FOOTCORD foot loop and an ASCENSION handled rope clamp)
• The moving side plate locks with a screw, allowing the I’D S to be integrated into rescue kits
• Lowers heavy loads up to 250 kg (only for expert users; consult the Instructions for Use for the device at www.petzl.com)
• Available in two colors: yellow and black

I'D L DESCENDERS (large)

The I’D L self-braking descender is primarily designed for technical rescue. It has a multi-function handle that allows control of the descent speed, positioning at a work station without the need to tie off the device, and fluid movement along inclined or horizontal terrain. The integrated anti-panic function and anti-error catch limit the risk of an accident due to user error. Its rugged construction makes it particularly suited for hauling and lowering heavy loads.

• Designed for rescue: no gate.
• Multi-function handle allows the user to:
  • unlock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the free end of the rope
  • move more easily on horizontal or inclined terrain, thanks to the button on the handle
  • position himself without having to tie off the device
• Anti-panic function activates if the user pulls too hard on the handle: it brakes and stops the descent automatically
• Anti-error catch to reduce the risk of an accident due to incorrect installation of the device on the rope.
• Pivoting cam facilitates taking up the slack in the rope. Can also be used to make a reversible haul system, and for short ascents (in conjunction with a FOOTAPE or FOOTCORD foot loop and an ASCENSION handled rope clamp).
• Lowers heavy loads up to 272 kg (only for expert users; consult the Instructions for Use for the device at www.petzl.com)
• Available in two colors: red and black

Specifications

• Min. rope diameter: 11,5 mm
• Max. rope diameter: 13 mm

RIG DESCENDERS

RIG is a compact self-braking descender primarily designed for experienced rope access workers. It has a multi-function handle that allows control of the descent speed and positioning at a work station without the need to tie off the device. The safety clip reduces the risk of dropping the device and facilitates passing of intermediate anchors. And the automatic return system on the handle limits risks in case of an involuntary action by the user.

• Designed for rope access work (expert users only)
• Multi-function handle allows the user to:
  • unlock the rope and control the descent with the hand on the free end of the rope
  • position himself at the work station without having to tie off the device
• The automatic return system on the handle limits risks in case of an involuntary action by the user
• Handle storage position reduces the risk of snagging when the descender is being carried on the harness.
• The gate on the moving side plate helps prevent dropping the device and facilitates rope installation when passing intermediate anchors
• Pivoting cam facilitates taking up the slack in the rope. Can also be used to make a reversible haul system, and for short ascents (in conjunction with a FOOTAPE or FOOTCORD foot loop and an ASCENSION handled rope clamp).
• Lowers heavy loads up to 200 kg (only for expert users; more information on this technique in the technical advice at www.petzl.com)
• Available in two colors: yellow and black
