A favourite among arborists, the Petzl ZigZag acts just like a classic Prusik in moving rope systems. Intuitive and easy to use, ZigZag your way through any tree using classic Prusik pulley system technique with single or doubled ropes. The friction chain provides precision and fluidity when moving around, and once the friction chain extends, the device locks automatically on the rope. Control slack easier than ever before with the pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings. The Petzl ZigZag utilizes a release lever which provides exceptional control and adjustments - the lever even controls the speed of movement. Choose either the standard Petzl ZigZag for a fixed lower attachment hole, or the Petzl ZigZag PLUS for a swivel to ensure optimal rope glide.
Key Features:
- Intuitive Use: Technique identical to classic Prusik pulley system; the device locks automatically on the rope once the friction chain extends.
- Efficient Movement: Rope feed is smooth and precise thanks to the release lever, allowing the user great control over movements. Adjusting the pressure on this lever controls the speed of movement.
- Easy Slack Management: Pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings allows slack to be taken up easily.
- Versatile: Can be used on either doubled ropes or a single rope, thanks to the CHICANE accessory, which offers more friction on the descent, and the KNEE ASCENT assemblies, which facilitate the ascent.
- Durable Construction: Steel construction for improved durability; separated and curved side plates for better wear resistance.
