The ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusik allows you to move efficiently through the tree, while maintaining the movements characteristic of the classic Prusik pulley system.
The braking chain provides precision and smoothness in movement. The pulley, mounted on a sealed ball bearing, makes it easy to take up the slack. Its use on double rope and single rope gives it excellent versatility.
The lower connection hole with a high-efficiency swivel ensures the mechanical Prusik is permanently maintained in the correct position and provides optimal rope guidance through the device.
Main features
- Intuitive handling:
- identical gestures to those of the classic Prusik pulley system for immediate ease of use,
- automatic locking of the device on the rope when the locking chain is deployed.
- For efficient movement in the tree:
- smooth and precise slack take-up, thanks to the release lever offering very high precision during movement. Adjusting the pressure on this lever allows the speed of movement to be modulated,
- ease of taking in slack, thanks to the pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings and the wide, curved side plates,
- lower connection hole with high-efficiency swivel to keep the mechanical Prusik permanently in the correct position and allow optimal rope guidance through the device.
- Versatility of use:
- can be used on doubled rope and also on single rope, thanks to the CHICANE accessory offering more braking on descent and KNEE ASCENT footlocks facilitating ascents,
- upper connection hole for rope return when used on doubled rope or the CHICANE additional brake when used on single rope. It incorporates a flexible retaining ring allowing positioning of the connector along the major axis,
- secondary connection hole for adding a ZILLON lanyard or connecting a second system.
- Durability:
- steel construction to increase durability,
- wide, curved side plates for better wear resistance.
- Rope compatibility: 11.5 to 13 mm diameter.
- ZIGZAG PLUS allows work in compliance with the ANSI Z133 standard.
