Product Information

Key Features & Mechanics

AUTO-LOCK System: Automatically locks the rope and halts the descent the moment the user releases the handle. This allows workers to position themselves securely at a workstation without tying off the device.
Ergonomic Handle: Features a multi-function lever that provides highly smooth control during descent without jerky movements or wide dead spaces.
Safety Gate Plate: A built-in gate on the moving side plate allows the rope to be installed or removed while the device stays safely clipped to the harness carabiner, preventing accidental drops.
Easy Ascents: Once the rope is locked, users can pull slack upward directly through the pivoting cam to climb in short spurts without needing to manually release the handle.

Technical Specifications

Rope Compatibility: Designed strictly for low-stretch kernmantle ropes between 10 mm and 11.5 mm in diameter.
Weight: Extremely lightweight at 400 grams, making it lighter and more compact than its bulkier counterpart, the Petzl I'D.
Load Capacities: Supports up to 150 kg for single operators and up to 200 kg for rescue operations using a secondary friction bypass.
Durability: Features a stainless steel reinforcement plate on the moving side plate to resist heavy friction wear. A fully repairable version is also available featuring a replaceable cam and pin.
