The Petzl RIG is a compact self-braking descender for rope access, designed for experienced users. It has an ergonomic handle that allows comfortable descent control. The auto-lock system allows users to easily position themselves at the work station without having to manipulate the handle. The safety gate allows the rope to be installed with the device remaining connected to the harness. Once the RIG is locked, the rope can be taken up without having to manipulate the handle, allowing for easy short ascents. The cam can be manipulated to take up slack easily or belay a lead using climbing techniques. The stainless steel wear plate improves durability by reinforcing the rope friction zone.
