ZIGZAG® PLUS - Petzl - d022ba

Mechanical Prusik with high-efficiency swivel, for tree care The ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusik allows the user to move around efficiently in a tree using classic Prusik pulley system technique. The friction chain provides precision and fluidity when moving around. The pulley is mounted on sealed ball bearings to allow the slack to be taken up easily. Can be used on either doubled ropes or a single rope, providing great versatility. The lower attachment hole with high-efficiency swivel ensures stable and correct positioning of the mechanical Prusik and optimal rope glide through the device.

Intuitive and Efficient ZIGZAG PLUS Device for Arboriculture

Designed for tree climbing professionals, the ZIGZAG PLUS device combines the classic Prusik pulley system's technique with modern innovations for increased efficiency, versatility, and durability.

Intuitive Use

• Classic Prusik Technique: Employs a technique identical to the classic Prusik pulley system, familiar to climbers for its reliability.
• Automatic Locking: The device automatically locks on the rope once the friction chain extends, enhancing safety during use.

Efficient Movement

• Smooth Rope Feed: Equipped with a release lever that allows precise control over movements, with pressure adjustment on the lever controlling the speed.
• Slack Management: Features a pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings and separated, curved side plates for easy slack take-up and optimal rope glide.
• Stable Positioning: The lower attachment hole includes a high-efficiency swivel that ensures stable and correct positioning of the mechanical Prusik, facilitating optimal rope movement through the device.

Versatility

• Multi-Rope Compatibility: Suitable for use on both doubled ropes and a single rope, utilizing the CHICANE accessory for increased friction on descents, and the KNEE ASCENT assemblies for facilitated ascent.
• Multiple Attachment Points: Includes an upper attachment hole for rope ends or the CHICANE auxiliary braking device, featuring a flexible positioning ring for optimal orientation, and an auxiliary hole for adding a ZILLON lanyard or connecting a second system.

Durability

• Robust Construction: Built with steel to improve durability and wear resistance, suitable for frequent and rigorous use.
• Design for Longevity: Separated and curved side plates enhance wear resistance, prolonging the device's life.
