Introducció
The PETZL RIG is a compact self-braking descender designed for experienced rope access technicians and rescuers. It features an ergonomic handle that allows comfortable descent control and the AUTO-LOCK system, which automatically locks the rope when the handle is released—allowing the user to position themselves at the workstation without tying off the device. The safety gate on the moving side plate allows the rope to be installed while the device remains connected to the harness.
