Petzl Rig Descender

The Petzl Rig Descender is a compact, self-braking descender built for experienced rope access professionals.

Designed to deliver smooth and precise control, it features an ergonomic handle that allows for comfortable and confident descents in demanding environments.

The RIG is equipped with Petzl’s AUTO-LOCK system, enabling users to effortlessly position themselves at a workstation without needing to tie off the device or manipulate the handle. Once locked, the rope can be taken up easily—streamlining work positioning and transitions.

For added convenience and safety, the integrated safety gate allows the rope to be installed while the device remains connected to the harness, reducing the risk of dropping or misplacing gear during setup.

Compact, reliable, and intuitive, the Petzl RIG is an essential tool for professionals who prioritize efficiency and control in their rope access operations.

Features:

Designed for experienced rope access workers
Easy to use:
- Safety gate on the moving side plate allows the rope to be easily installed while the device remains connected to the harness, making it easier to pass intermediate anchors
- Markings and rope guide makes it easy to install the rope
- Ergonomic handle allows the rope to be released and enables comfortable control of the descent; there are two possible descent modes: on the side plate or in the V-shaped friction channel
- AUTO-LOCK system allows users to easily position themselves at a workstation without having to manipulate the handle or tie off the device: as soon as the user releases the handle, the rope is automatically locked in the device; the automatic return system on the handle limits the risk of the device getting accidentally snagged
- Handle automatically switches to storage position when the rope is removed from the device, reducing the risk of accidental snagging when the descender is carried on the harness
Versatile:
- Once locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle, allowing for easy short ascents, for example
- Cam can be manipulated to feed out slack easily or belay a lead climber using climbing techniques
The stainless steel wear plate improves durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone
