Product Description
Petzl RIG Self-Braking Descender – Compact Rope Access Device for Experienced Users
The Petzl RIG is a compact, self-braking descender engineered for professional rope access and work-at-height applications. Designed specifically for experienced users, the RIG delivers smooth, controlled descents with an intuitive ergonomic handle and Petzl’s trusted AUTO-LOCK system for secure hands-free positioning at the workstation.
Built for durability and efficiency in demanding environments, the RIG allows rope installation while remaining connected to the harness, making it ideal for complex access routes, intermediate anchors, and technical positioning tasks.

Key Features

- Safety Gate Side Plate: Allows rope installation while the device remains connected to the harness, simplifying transitions past intermediate anchors
- Easy Rope Handling: Rope guide and clear markings help ensure correct rope installation
- Versatile Work Positioning: Once locked, rope can be taken up without manipulating the handle—useful for short ascents or fine positioning
- Cam Control Capability: Cam can be manipulated to feed slack or belay a lead climber using climbing techniques
- Enhanced Durability: Stainless steel wear plate reinforces the friction zone for extended service life
- Compact & Lightweight: Easy to carry on the harness without snagging; handle automatically returns to storage position when rope is removed
