Description
Petzl ZIGZAG Mechanical Prusik
The friction chain provides smooth and precise movement between branches. The ZIGZAG is versatile and can be used in a moving rope system or a stationary rope system with the addition of a braking accessory. Built for demanding conditions in the canopy, it’s designed to help limit wear.
- Intuitive handling and efficient movement in the canopy:
– Functions using the same technique as a classic Prusik pulley system, so it quickly feels familiar
– Release lever allows for smooth and precise rope feed when moving along the rope
– Wide pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings makes it easy to take up slack
– Speed of movement can be controlled by adjusting the pressure on the lever
– Device blocks on the rope when the friction chain extends
– Fixed lower attachment point allows for system alignment and left- or right-handed use - Versatile:
– Can be used in a moving rope system, as well as a stationary rope system when paired with the CHICANE accessory, which offers additional friction on the descent
– Upper attachment point has an integrated positioning ring for connecting the rope end in a moving rope system or a CHICANE in a stationary rope system
– Auxiliary attachment point for adding a ZILLON lanyard or connecting a second system - Durable:
– Steel construction for improved durability
– Separated and curved side plates for better wear resistance
